Job Description

WHO WE ARE

Goldman Sachs is a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm that provides a wide range of services worldwide to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and high networth individuals.

BUSINESS UNIT OVERVIEW

Enterprise Technology Operations (ETO) is a Business Unit within Core Engineering focused on running scalable production management services with a mandate of operational excellence and operational risk reduction achieved through large scale automation, bestinclass engineering, and application of data science and machine learning. The Production Runtime Experience (PRX) team in ETO applies software engineering and machine learning to production management services, processes, and activities to streamline monitoring, alerting, automation, and workflows.

TEAM OVERVIEW

The Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence team in PRX applies advanced ML and GenAI to reduce the risk and cost of operating the firm's largescale compute infrastructure and extensive application estate. Building on strengths in statistical modelling, anomaly detection, predictive modelling, and timeseries forecasting, we leverage foundational LLM Models to orchestrate multiagent systems for automated production management services. By unifying classical ML with agentic AI, we deliver reliable, explainable, and costefficient operations at scale.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

In this role, you will be responsible for launching and implementing GenAI agentic solutions aimed at reducing the risk and cost of managing largescale production environments with varying complexities. You will address various production runtime challenges by developing agentic AI solutions that can diagnose, reason, and take actions in production environments to improve productivity and address issues related to production support.

What you'll do:

• Build agentic AI systems: Design and implement toolcalling agents that combine retrieval, structured reasoning, and secure action execution (function calling, change orchestration, policy enforcement) following MCP protocol. Engineer robust guardrails for safety, compliance, and leastprivilege access.
• Productionize LLMs: Build evaluation framework for opensource and foundational LLMs; implement retrieval pipelines, prompt synthesis, response validation, and selfcorrection loops tailored to production operations.
• Integrate with runtime ecosystems: Connect agents to observability, incident management, and deployment systems to enable automated diagnostics, runbook execution, remediation, and postincident summarization with full traceability.
• Collaborate directly with users: Partner with production engineers and application teams to translate production pain points into agentic AI roadmaps; define objective functions linked to reliability, risk reduction, and cost; and deliver auditable, businessaligned outcomes.
• Safety, reliability, and governance: Build validator models, adversarial prompts, and policy checks into the stack; enforce deterministic fallbacks, circuit breakers, and rollback strategies; instrument continuous evaluations for usefulness, correctness, and risk.
• Scale and performance: Optimize cost and latency via prompt engineering, context management, caching, model routing, and distillation; leverage batching, streaming, and parallel toolcalls to meet stringent SLOs under realworld load.
• Build a RAG pipeline: Curate domainknowledge; build dataquality validation framework; establish feedback loops and milestone framework maintain knowledge freshness.
• Raise the bar: Drive design reviews, experiment rigor, and highquality engineering practices; mentor peers on agent architectures, evaluation methodologies, and safe deployment patterns.

QUALIFICATIONS

A Bachelor's degree (Master's/PhD preferred) in a computational field (Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or in a related quantitative discipline), with 7+ years of experience as an applied data scientist / machine learning engineer.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

• 7+ years of software development in one or more languages (Python, C/C++, Go, Java); strong handson experience building and maintaining largescale Python applications preferred.
• 3+ years designing, architecting, testing, and launching production ML systems, including model deployment/serving, evaluation and monitoring, data processing pipelines, and model finetuning workflows.
• Practical experience with Large Language Models (LLMs): API integration, prompt engineering, finetuning/adaptation, and building applications using RAG and toolusing agents (vector retrieval, function calling, secure tool execution).
• Understanding of different LLMs, both commercial and open source, and their capabilities (e.g., OpenAI, Gemini, Llama, Qwen, Claude).
• Solid grasp of applied statistics, core ML concepts, algorithms, and data structures to deliver efficient and reliable solutions.
• Strong analytical problemsolving, ownership, and urgency; ability to communicate complex ideas simply and collaborate effectively across global teams with a focus on measurable business impact.

Preferred:

Proficiency building and operating on cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS), including containerized services (ECS/EKS), serverless (Lambda), data services (S3, DynamoDB, Redshift), orchestration (Step Functions), model serving (SageMaker), and infraascode (Terraform/CloudFormation).
