TL;DR · Senior ML Engineer, MLOps & Mechanistic Interpretability

Senior ML Engineer – MLOps & Mechanistic Interpretability will join the team to build the MLOps foundation and interpretability framework for next-generation credit risk engines. The role involves creating infrastructure for scalable Transformer-based model deployment and developing "glass box" tooling to transform model internals into human-understandable, regulatory-compliant insights. You will design systems mapping latent embeddings to credit concepts while building MLOps pipelines to serve models at scale. Key responsibilities include designing complex systems of systems, defining project scopes for engineering teams, and contributing to all phases of product development from analysis through deployment. Required skills include experience with end-to-end machine learning model development, big data analytics, cloud computing, and technical leadership. The role requires the ability to interpret research papers and apply innovative techniques to solve complex problems within high-stakes financial production workflows.

What you'll do

  • Build the MLOps foundation and infrastructure for scalable Transformer-based model deployment.
  • Develop "glass box" tooling to transform model internals into human-understandable, regulatory-compliant insights.
  • Map latent embeddings to human-readable credit concepts using Mechanistic Interpretability (XAI) research.
  • Design systems of systems for training and running machine learning models following industry best practices.
  • Lead a team of engineers by defining project scopes, providing guidance, and mentoring colleagues.
  • Manage the end-to-end development lifecycle from initial analysis and design to successful deployment.
  • Identify and report intellectual property through patent applications, white papers, and technical presentations.
  • Define the technical vision and roadmap for machine learning architectures aligned with organizational goals.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM major or equivalent experience required.
  • Master's degree and AI/ML coursework (preferred).
  • 7+ years of related work experience, including proven experience leading teams of MLE, DS, SDE, or DevOps roles.
  • Experience with end-to-end development of ML models from ideation to deployment ensuring scalability and reliability.
  • Ability to review code for quality and performance while establishing SDLC best practices (preferred).
  • Ability to design scalable machine learning architectures and define technical roadmaps (preferred).
  • Proficiency in data architecture, orchestration, ETL development, and cloud computing (preferred).
  • Ability to read and comprehend research papers in the latest machine learning fields (preferred).
  • Cloud Certification (strongly preferred).
