Data Engineering & MLOps

• Design database schemas that efficiently store structured financial data

• Architect pipelines that integrate data from diverse sources (documents, web scraping, third-party APIs)

• Deploy and monitor models in production environments for critical applications

• Leverage cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) for scalable data processing
  

Your Responsibilities

• Architect and implement machine learning models to automate structured and unstructured data extraction from financial documents (e.g., contracts, balance sheets).

• Develop natural language processing (NLP) solutions to enhance qualitative document understanding and improve decision-making.

• Optimize algorithms for scalability and real-time performance across cloud-based platforms.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (finance experts, product managers) to align technical solutions with business objectives.

• Monitor deployed models to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability to changing market dynamics.

• Conduct experiments with state-of-the-art AI techniques to refine model performance and explore innovative applications.
