TL;DR · Lead Machine Learning Engineer

Wells Fargo’s AI/ML Data Architecture, Engineering, and Enablement team is hiring a Lead Machine Learning Engineer to design and deliver advanced machine learning solutions from experimentation through production monitoring. This role involves leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services like BigQuery, Dataflow, and Pub/Sub to build scalable data pipelines and model architectures for predictive AI and generative models. Key responsibilities include enabling self-service data consumption, standardizing feature engineering with a common feature store, and optimizing GCP workloads for cost and performance. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in Python, Go, and GCP orchestration tools like Cloud Composer, as well as hands-on expertise in machine learning algorithms and model governance. This position requires strong skills in data modeling, automated testing, and monitoring stacks to ensure secure and compliant AI solutions that drive operational efficiency at scale.

What you'll do

  • Design scalable, secure data pipelines using GCP services for internal systems.
  • Extend and advise on reusable ML frameworks and tooling development.
  • Enable self-service data consumption with standardized patterns and templates.
  • Design architectures for training, validation, and monitoring predictive AI models.
  • Implement a common feature store with strong lineage and high availability.
  • Optimize cost, performance, and reliability of GCP data workloads efficiently.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in Database Engineering or equivalent
  • 5+ years creating analytics/data science solutions on Public Cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure)
  • 5+ years hands-on Python/Go for building data pipelines, libraries, and automation tooling
  • Expertise with GCP orchestration tools (Composer/Airflow/Dataflow/Beam) and CI/CD practices
  • 2+ years experience building predictive AI models using machine learning algorithms
