As a AVP – Model Ops Engineer, you will be responsible for...
- Designing, developing, and maintaining robust pipelines to collect, transform, and store data used in model monitoring workflows (e.g., scoring data, performance metrics, outcomes).
- Building scalable data architectures to support real-time and batch monitoring, including data ingestion, enrichment, and retention practices.
- Developing reusable monitoring components (e.g., performance drift detectors, threshold-based alerts, metric repositories) that support various model types and regulatory needs.
- Integrating data pipelines with model lifecycle platforms, MLOps tools, and observability solutions to ensure seamless model performance tracking.
- Partnering with model risk and compliance teams to ensure data lineage, audit trails, and documentation are preserved and accessible for regulatory reviews (e.g., SR 11-7 compliance).
- Collaborating with data scientists, model validators, and product managers to align monitoring data infrastructure with evolving model monitoring requirements.
- Working closely with the model monitoring analytics and strategy monitoring analytics teams within MO&A to ensure the monitoring data infrastructure adapts to changing analytics and monitoring needs.
- Enabling visualization and reporting capabilities through dashboards (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) that summarize model health, stability, and issue alerts.
- Designing and maintaining high-performance data pipelines that ingest, transform, and version datasets for Model and Strategy Monitoring
- Optimizing data storage and compute performance for large-scale monitoring use cases involving high-frequency scoring or model ensembles.
What you already have...
