Applied AI ML lead

Cybersecurity is one of the highest growth areas within JPMorgan and has a unique opportunity to develop and deploy Machine Learning solutions that support Cyber Operations. A successful candidate must be comfortable working independently, have an understanding of data analysis, statistics, data engineering and the ability to develop predictive models that meet defined business outcomes. You will be part of a world-class global Cybersecurity team and work along side technologists and innovators who work every day to protect the assets we manage.

As a member of the Cyber Technology and Controls (CTC) Cyber Operations Product team you will be part of a highly motivated team that focuses on analyzing data and creating and delivering Machine Learning solutions that will protect the firm from a variety of cyber-related threats.

Preferred candidates will have a strong working knowledge of standard workflow for data analysis data preparation and model development. They must have a working knowledge of data analysis and manipulation tools, statistics (e.g. statistical distributions and probability) and have experience with applying supervised and unsupervised learning models to solve well defined problems. They should possess the ability to develop statistical and Deep Learning models, measure their outcomes and be able to interpret them for business stakeholders.
