Senior Associate — Data Scientist, Applied Ai/ml

JPMorgan Chase JPMorgan Chase · Banking · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · Consumer & Community Banking

Senior Associate Data Scientist focused on designing, developing, and deploying predictive ML, advanced analytics, and Generative AI/LLM agentic solutions within a shared services organization at JPMorgan Chase. The role involves building reusable services that scale across the Control Management lifecycle, with a strong emphasis on agentic workflows, end-to-end model delivery, and production ML pipelines in a regulated financial environment.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design, develop, and deploy predictive ML, advanced analytics, GenAI/LLM, and agentic AI solutions for complex business problems in shared services.
  2. Build and integrate agentic workflows (tool use, RAG, routing/planning, structured outputs, evals/guardrails) into end-to-end business processes to deliver context-aware insights and automation.
  3. Prototype AI-enabled approaches quickly, then harden successful prototypes into reusable, production-ready services with measurable outcomes.
  4. Own end-to-end model delivery: dataset manipulation/feature engineering, training, validation, evaluation, deployment, and iteration.
  5. Design, deploy, and operate production ML pipelines and services (batch/real-time), including logging/metrics, monitoring, retraining/refresh strategies, and reliability/cost/latency improvements.

Skills

Required

  • Python proficiency for data analysis, modeling, and production-grade implementation
  • Dataset manipulation and feature engineering skills
  • Building, evaluating, and deploying predictive models and analytics solutions (e.g., classification/regression, NLP) using common ML/deep learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn)
  • Agentic AI experience: built and deployed LLM-enabled agentic workflow (e.g., RAG + tool/function calling, routing/planning, structured outputs) with an evaluation approach
  • Designing, deploying, and operating production ML/LLM pipelines or services, including basic MLOps practices
  • Working knowledge of modern deployment environments: cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) and/or containerized/distributed compute (e.g., Kubernetes)
  • Communication and stakeholder partnership skills

Nice to have

  • Advanced education & thought leadership: Master’s or PhD in a quantitative field; publications, patents, or meaningful open-source contributions in ML/GenAI.
  • Scaled agentic systems beyond a single use case
  • Strong LLM evaluation discipline (golden sets, automated regression, quality dashboards) and guardrail patterns.
  • GPU/inference optimization (e.g., Triton, profiling)
  • Big data processing and cloud data services
  • Exposure to RL or other advanced ML methods
  • Specialized ML domains: search/ranking, recommenders, graph ML/knowledge graphs

What the JD emphasized

  • Required agentic AI experience: built and deployed LLM-enabled agentic workflow (e.g., RAG + tool/function calling, routing/planning, structured outputs) with an evaluation approach (test set, regression tests, human review, or similar).
  • Experience designing, deploying, and operating production ML/LLM pipelines or services, including basic MLOps practices (versioning, CI/CD for ML, monitoring/alerting, incident hygiene).
  • Apply responsible AI, governance, and compliance-aligned practices throughout the model and agent lifecycle; share best practices and contribute reusable templates/libraries.
  • Specialized ML domains & regulated environments: financial services or other regulated industries and comfort operating within governance expectations—especially for regulatory/change management workflows.
