About the role

Original posting from JPMorgan Chase

Build what’s next in enterprise AI—solutions that materially improve how teams make decisions, automate work, and serve internal customers. You will take generative AI from concept to production, help set the standard for semantic consistency across systems, and partner closely with stakeholders to turn complex business needs into measurable outcomes. You will mentor talent and influence technical direction across Corporate Technology and supported Corporate Functions.

As an Applied AI and Machine Learning Lead at JPMorganChase within Corporate Technology Data Science and AI, you will design, build, and deploy scalable analytical and generative AI solutions that deliver measurable business value. You will translate complex business needs into clear problem statements, success metrics, and production-ready models and intelligent workflows. You will help establish semantic modeling standards and a unified semantic layer that improves trust and consistency across analytics and AI use cases.

Job Responsibilities

Build generative AI, agentic AI, and large language model solutions in Python from proof of concept through production deployment with measurable outcomes

Design context engineering approaches to improve model accuracy, latency, reliability, and end-to-end user experience

Lead enterprise semantic modeling strategy, including ontology standards, governance practices, and lifecycle management

Partner with domain experts to create scalable ontologies that represent business entities, relationships, rules, and constraints

Define semantic integration patterns across data pipelines, application programming interfaces (APIs), data contracts, and experience layers to resolve semantic conflicts

Establish and govern a unified semantic layer that enables trusted analytics across business intelligence, machine learning, and transactional systems

Enable intelligent workflows and AI agents using ontology-driven context, semantic reasoning, and orchestration approaches

Build and maintain pipelines and frameworks for model training, evaluation, optimization, monitoring, and machine learning operations
