Job Description:

The Machine Learning Center of Excellence combines cutting edge machine learning techniques with the company's unique data assets to optimize all the business decisions we make. In this role, you will be part of our world-class machine learning team, and advance the state-of-the-art in financial applications ranging from pricing and credit models to natural language processing. Our work spans the company's lines of business, with exceptional opportunities in each.

The successful candidate will develop new machine learning methods tailored to banking applications such as risk assessment, trading models, customer relationship management, and pricing models. Machine learning techniques will include feed-forward, recurrent, recursive and convolutional neural networks, maximum entropy models, and other algorithms related to time series analysis and supervised learning. In addition to using and adapting existing models, you will be expected to develop new techniques especially suited to banking applications. The candidate will help in the identification and solution of new problem areas.

Responsibilities

* Develop scalable tools leveraging machine learning and deep learning models to solve real-world problems in areas such as Speech Recognition, Natural Language Processing and Time Series predictions.
* Collaborate with all of JPMorgan Chase's lines of businesses, such as Investment Bank, Commercial Bank, and Asset Management.
* Lead your own project. Suggest, collect and synthesize requirements. Create an effective roadmap towards the deployment of a production-level machine learning application.
* MS or PhD in a quantitative discipline, e.g. Computer Science, Mathematics, Operations Research, Data Science, or similar BS with 2+ years of experience in a highly quantitative position.
* Experience in Deep Learning: DNN, CNN, RNN/LSTM, GAN or other auto encoder (AE).
* 2+ years of hands-on experience developing machine learning models.
* Ability to develop and debug in Python, Java, C or C++. Proficient in git version control. R and Matlab are also relevant.
