About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Machine Learning Engineer to help shape, develop, and deliver AI applications and proof-of-concepts (POCs) across diverse business lines. The successful candidate will collaborate with stakeholders to identify opportunities, develop impactful solutions, and drive the adoption of advanced AI technologies across the organization. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will be a key member of a team, developing and deploying large-scale GenAI applications for enterprise use cases. You will build and optimize LLM-based solutions, RAG systems, agentic workflows, and production ML infrastructure that powers effective decision-making across RBC.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, and productionize advanced GenAI and AI solutions, ensuring they address complex business challenges with measurable impact and deliver tangible ROI
  • Optimize and deploy state-of-the-art ML models and AI agents, leveraging modern frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, or similar) and best practices for scalability, reliability, and maintainability
  • Contribute to experimentation and continuous improvement cycles, including robust prompt engineering, model evaluation, A/B testing, and performance optimization of production GenAI systems
  • Build and maintain production-grade ML infrastructure including data pipelines, model serving endpoints, monitoring systems, and automated deployment workflows
  • Implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems using vector databases, semantic search, and knowledge retrieval techniques to enhance LLM capabilities
  • Develop agentic AI workflows with multi-step reasoning, tool use, and orchestration to solve complex business problems autonomously
  • Collaborate with product managers, data engineers, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical specifications and working solutions
  • Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code following software engineering best practices including code reviews, testing, and version control
  • Stay current with emerging GenAI technologies and research, evaluating new models, frameworks, and techniques for potential adoption
  • Participate in technical design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions for GenAI applications and ML infrastructure
  • Ensure responsible AI practices including bias detection, model explainability, security, privacy, and compliance with enterprise governance standards
  • Document technical solutions, architectures, and processes to enable knowledge sharing and team scalability

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in machine learning engineering with 2+ years focused on production ML systems
  • Hands-on experience building GenAI applications using LLMs, RAG, agents, or similar technologies in production environments
  • Strong proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, Hugging Face, OpenAI API, Anthropic Claude, etc.)
  • Solid understanding of LLM architectures, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and optimization techniques
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Practical knowledge of MLOps practices including CI/CD, model monitoring, versioning, and deployment automation
  • Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Chroma) and semantic search systems
  • Strong problem-solving skills with ability to break down complex problems into implementable solutions
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills with ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • Experience in financial services or highly regulated industries with understanding of compliance and data privacy requirements
