Job Summary

EY's Financial Services Risk Management (FSRM) practice seeks a technically strong Assistant Manager with expertise in machine learning, data science, and software development.

Key Responsibilities

• Machine Learning Model Development: develop, train, and optimize supervised and unsupervised learning models using Python, R, or equivalent frameworks.
• Apply algorithms such as regression, ensemble methods, time series forecasting, anomaly detection, NLP, and deep learning.
• Design modular, reusable model pipelines with clear versioning and reproducibility.
• Data Engineering & Feature Design: build and maintain data pipelines for model training and inference using SQL and modern data frameworks (e.g., PySpark, Airflow, Azure Data Factory).
• Conduct feature engineering, data cleaning, and quality assurance for large structured and unstructured datasets.
• Automate model retraining and validation workflows.
• Model Deployment & MLOps: deploy ML models into production environments using containerization (Docker), APIs (FastAPI/Flask), or cloud ML services (Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex).
• Implement monitoring, drift detection, and performance dashboards for live models.
• Collaborate with EY's technology teams to integrate models into client systems securely and efficiently.
• Collaboration & Development Support: work closely with quantitative and regulatory experts to translate conceptual requirements into technical prototypes.
• Contribute to EY's internal accelerators and reusable AI components for risk analytics.
• Document code, model assumptions, and testing protocols following EY quality standards.
• Innovation & Research: explore emerging AI technologies (e.g., transformer models, generative AI, graph analytics) for potential application in financial-risk contexts, and participate in hackathons, PoCs, and innovation sprints within EY's global AI community.

Skills & Attributes For Success

• Advanced programming skills in Python (pandas, scikit learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) or R.
• Proficiency in SQL and familiarity with NoSQL or cloud native data systems.
• Strong understanding of ML pipeline design, data preprocessing, and model evaluation techniques.
• Experience with API deployment, containerization, and MLOps practices.
• Solid mathematical and statistical foundation (probability, linear algebra, optimization).
• Curiosity to learn financial risk concepts while maintaining engineering excellence.
• Collaborative, agile mindset with strong problem solving and debugging skills.

To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field.
• 3-6 years of experience in software development, machine learning, or AI engineering (consulting or product environment).
• Demonstrated experience deploying ML models or analytics products in real world settings.
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP).

Ideally, You'll Also Have

• Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and model registry tools (MLflow, DVC).
• Exposure to RESTful API design, microservices, or front end data visualization (e.g., Power BI, Streamlit).
• Familiarity with risk or finance data is a plus but not required.
• Contribution to open source or academic research projects.
