As a Data Scientist supporting client Advisors in the U.S. Businesses (USB) Service, Data and Technology organization, you will partner with our diverse team of Engineers, Economists, Computer Scientists, Mathematicians, Physicists, Statisticians and Actuaries tasked with mining our industry-leading internal data to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI capabilities for our businesses. Here is what you can expect in a typical day: Responsible for the hands-on design and development of production-grade GenAI and Agentic solutions comprising the portfolio developed by the Data Science Lead and the technical requirements specified. Perform hands-on context engineering, agent design, model integration, and end-to-end AI system development. Design and build AI agent harnesses, orchestration frameworks, and context engineering pipelines; develop and integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to expose tools, data sources, and enterprise APIs to AI agents in a standardized, secure manner; and implement Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication patterns and multi-agent architectures to solve complex, multi-step business problems. Write production-level code and partner with machine learning engineers and platform teams to deliver AI solutions from development through production following the full AI lifecycle. Continuously research new methods for problem solution, including new algorithms, agentic frameworks, context management techniques, and AI application patterns. The Skills and expertise you bring: • Advanced degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Econometrics, Physics, Computer Science, Actuarial, Data Science, or comparable quantitative disciplines • Working on complex problems in which analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of various factors. Exercises judgment within broadly defined practices and policies in selecting methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. Applied experience with several of the following: • AI Engineering & Production AI Lifecycle: Ability to design, build, and deliver AI systems end-to-end in a production environment. Deep understanding of the AI lifecycle — from problem framing and data preparation through model development, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. Experience with CI/CD for AI, model versioning, observability, and responsible AI practices. • Generative AI, Agentic & Context Engineering: Expertise in modern Generative AI and NLP technologies including LLMs, RAG, LangChain, LangGraph, vector databases, etc. Skilled in context engineering — prompt engineering, dynamic context construction, context window management, and structured output design. Experience building AI agent harnesses and orchestration frameworks including scaffolding, tool registries, and evaluation loops. Hands-on experience designing MCP servers to expose enterprise tools and APIs to AI agents, and implementing Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication patterns and multi-agent architectures to solve complex, multi-step business problems. • Machine Learning: Understanding of machine learning theory, including the mathematics underlying machine learning algorithms. Expertise in the application of machine learning theory to building, training, testing, interpreting and monitoring machine learning models • Data Acquisition and Transformation: Acquiring data from disparate data sources using API’s and SQL. Transform data using SQL and Python. Visualizing data using a diverse tool set including but not limited to Python. • AWS DevOps: Experience in the project development life cycle in an AWS environment. Familiar with development, QA, staging and production deployment stages. • Programming Languages: Python, SQL Thanks and Regards, Ankit Grover Sr. Executive - TA Iris Software 200 Metroplex Drive, Suite #300, Edison, NJ 08817 Email : ankit.grover01@irissoftware.com Phone : 973-370-7012 www.irissoftware.com
