Applied AI ML Lead

As an Applied AI ML Lead at JPMorganChase within the Data Science and AI team supporting our Technology organization, you will drive high-impact generative AI and advanced analytics initiatives from research through production.

You will lead the design, evaluation, and deployment of foundation model and agent-based AI capabilities that improve decision-making, automate work, and strengthen reliability and governance.

You will partner with product, engineering, and risk stakeholders to define measurable outcomes and deliver solutions that are scalable, robust, and responsibly deployed.

Job Responsibilities


* Lead end-to-end generative AI and agentic AI initiatives from problem framing and experimentation through production release and measurable adoption.


* Design and evaluate foundation-model approaches, including model selection, fine-tuning strategies, retrieval and context design, and safety controls.


* Establish rigorous evaluation practices (quality, robustness, latency, cost, and risk) and translate results into clear recommendations and roadmaps.


* Build and operationalize production-grade machine learning and generative AI services using sound engineering practices, monitoring, and incident-ready controls.


* Define and drive semantic consistency across systems by leading semantic modeling standards and lifecycle governance in partnership with domain experts.


* Implement integration patterns that align data pipelines, application interfaces, and user experiences to reduce semantic conflicts and increase trust in outcomes.


* Partner with cross-functional leaders to define success metrics, manage trade-offs, and deliver outcomes aligned to business priorities and oversight expectations.


* Mentor and develop engineers and data scientists through technical leadership, reviews, and coaching to raise team capability and delivery velocity.


* Communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, influencing decisions through clarity, evidence, and pragmatism.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills


* Master's degree in computer science, engineering, statistics, or a related quantitative discipline.


* 7+ years of applied experience building and deploying machine learning and generative AI solutions in production environments.


* Strong proficiency in Python and modern machine learning frameworks (for example, PyTorch).


* Demonstrated ability to lead experimentation and evaluation, including defining metrics, running controlled comparisons, and documenting results for stakeholders.


* Experience deploying and operating models in production, including performance optimization, monitoring, and reliability trade-offs.


* Working knowledge of responsible AI practices, model risk concepts, and governance controls suitable for regulated environments.


* Strong software engineering fundamentals, including version control, code review, ...
