AI Machine Learning Engineer Specialist

6+ Applied AI/ML pipeline development and deployment for large-scale data reconciliation programs; production experience building anomaly-detection, root-cause analysis, and exception classification models using PyTorch, Scikit-learn, and Azure Machine Learning in regulated financial or government environments.

6+ Azure data platform engineering including Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Delta Lake; demonstrated ability to design automated, auditable reconciliation workflows eliminating manual row- and aggregate-level validation across multi-terabyte datasets.

10+ Advanced T-SQL and PL/SQL development across SQL Server and Oracle including stored procedures, partition switching, columnstore indexing, and query optimization sustaining sub-second query response for high-volume ETL and dashboard workloads.

6+ Rule-based exception classification pipelines and prioritized work queue construction; experience translating 30+ stakeholder control scenarios (finance, actuarial, risk) into automated validation logic, acceptance criteria, and agile backlog items.

4+ Cloud-native ingestion pipeline engineering with Azure Data Factory, Azure Service Bus, and Azure Functions; schema validation, data lineage management with Azure Purview, and containerized microservice deployment via Docker, AKS, and Git-based CI/CD.

4+ Production model monitoring and drift detection using Azure Monitor metrics and custom drift detectors; MLflow experiment tracking and gradient-boosting ensemble tuning ensuring validation models retain statistical power across evolving data volumes and product mixes.

Required Master’s degree in Information Technology, Science, Computer Science, or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications

Years Skills / Experience

4+ Continuous data quality enforcement using Great Expectations and parameterized PyTest suites; experience validating 100+ reconciliation rules on synthetic and production samples with automated regression coverage for SOX, PCI-DSS, or HIPAA-regulated audit environments.

3+ Legacy system data migration experience involving COBOL or mainframe source environments (AWS Glue, Redshift, or equivalent); aggregate validation checks, tolerance-threshold variance surfacing, and actuarial or regulatory sign-off workflows for government or healthcare modernization programs.

3+ Azure Purview data lineage and metadata management; Delta Lake compaction, ACID semantics, and Parquet optimization for downstream analytics; Azure Key Vault managed identity integration for encryption-in-transit and at-rest compliance across reconciliation artifacts.
