Role Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical and technically proficient ML/AI Engineer to join our ARC team. This role is ideal for someone with a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and programming, and a passion for applying AI to solve complex financial problems. You will work to develop AI/ML/DS features for enterprise-wide AI products, develop models, optimize strategies, and contribute to the evolution of our AI‑powered financial systems.

What

will you do:

  • Design and develop machine learning models (Supervised, Unsupervised, and Reinforcement Learning), AI (Generative models and agent orchestration) models, and deep learning models (e.g., Neural Networks and autoencoders).
  • Run machine learning tests and experiments.
  • Train and retrain systems to prevent drift and optimize results.
  • Solve complex problems with multi‑layered data sets, extend existing ML frameworks (Scikit‑Learn, XGBoost, Tensorflow) and AI frameworks (Keras, Lang Chain).
  • Leverage and develop advanced analytics models (network‑based, forecasting, rules‑based), implement said algorithms, and build tools to apply them.
  • Turn structured, semi‑structured and unstructured data into useful information.
  • Develop ML/AI algorithms to analyze huge volumes of historical data to derive insights, make decisions, and form predictions.
  • Run tests, perform statistical analysis, and interpret test results.
  • Contribute to shaping the digital foundations: (Hypergraph) Scenario Engine and Network based Methods: graph‑based modeling tool that maps relationships between entities and simulates cascading scenarios;

Chatbots (i.e., Distribution);

Semantic Engine: AI layer that enables meaning‑based search as opposed to keyword search.

  • Conduct large‑scale analysis of information to discover patterns and trends by combining different models and algorithms.
  • Get insights from data (descriptive, attribution).
  • Perform Topological Data Modeling, Causality, Variable Importance Analysis, Attribution modeling, Regression.

What you need to succeed:

  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science, Physics, AI, Machine Learning or a related field.
  • Experience in model development (ML/data science, AI/GenAI) within financial services or technology sectors.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL, Tensor Flow, PyTorch, XGBoost, scikit‑learn.
  • Strong grasp of artificial intelligence and machine learning frameworks and stacks.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD pipelines is advantageous.
  • Intellectual curiosity and adaptability to emerging AI and quant finance trends.
  • Strong communication skills to explain complex models to non‑technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary environment.
  • Attention to detail and a rigorous approach to model validation and testing.
