The Applied Innovation of AI (AI2) team is an elite machine learning group strategically located within the Chief Technology Office  of JP Morgan Chase. AI2 tackle business critical priorities using innovative machine learning techniques and technologies with a focus on machine learning for Data, Software, and Technology Infrastructure. The team partners closely with stakeholders in these areas to execute projects that require machine learning development to support JPMC businesses as they grow.

Strategically positioned in the Chief Technology Office, our work spans across Data, Global Technology Infrastructure and the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). With this unparalleled access to technology groups in the firm, the role offers a unique opportunity to explore novel and complex challenges that could profoundly transform how the bank operates. 

As a Sr. Machine Learning Scientist-Data Technology, you will apply sophisticated machine learning methods to a wide variety of complex tasks including data mining and exploratory data analysis and visualisation, text understanding and embedding, anomaly detection in time series and log data, large language models (LLMs) and generative AI for technology use-cases, reinforcement learning and recommendation systems. You  must excel in working in a highly collaborative environment together with the business, technologists and control partners to deploy solutions into production. You must also have a passion for machine learning and invest independent time towards learning, researching and experimenting with new innovations in the field. You must have solid expertise in Deep Learning with hands-on implementation experience and possess strong analytical thinking, a deep desire to learn and be highly motivated.

Job Responsibilities
