OverviewEngineering-L2-Dallas-Vice President-AI / ML Engineering role at Goldman Sachs. 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 net-worth individuals.Business Unit: Enterprise Technology Operations (ETO). The Production Runtime Experience (PRX) team applies software engineering and machine learning to production management services, processes, and activities to streamline monitoring, alerting, automation, and workflows. 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 large-scale compute infrastructure and extensive application estate.Role and responsibilitiesLaunch and implement GenAI agentic solutions aimed at reducing the risk and cost of managing large-scale production environments with varying complexities.Develop agentic AI solutions that diagnose, reason, and take actions in production environments to improve productivity and address production support issues.Build agentic AI systems: design and implement tool-calling 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 least-privilege access.Productionize LLMs: build evaluation frameworks for open-source and foundational LLMs; implement retrieval pipelines, prompt synthesis, response validation, and self-correction loops tailored to production tegrate with runtime ecosystems: connect agents to observability, incident management, and deployment systems to enable automated diagnostics, runbook execution, remediation, and post-incident summarization with full traceability.Collaborate 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; deliver auditable, business-aligned outcomes.Safety, reliability, governance: build validator models, adversarial prompts, and policy checks; 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 tool-calls to meet stringent SLOs under real-world load.Build a RAG pipeline: curate domain knowledge, build data-quality validation framework, establish feedback loops and milestones to maintain knowledge freshness.Raise the bar: drive design reviews, experiment rigor, and high-quality engineering practices; mentor peers on agent architectures, evaluation methodologies, and safe deployment patterns.QualificationsA Bachelor’s degree (Masters/ PhD preferred) in a computational field (Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or related quantitative discipline).7+ years of experience as an applied data scientist / machine learning engineer.Essential Skills7+ years of software development in one or more languages (Python, C/C++, Go, Java); strong hands-on experience building and maintaining large-scale 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 fine-tuning workflows.Practical experience with Large Language Models (LLMs): API integration, prompt engineering, finetuning/adaptation, and building applications using RAG and tool-using 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 problem-solving, ownership, and urgency; ability to communicate complex ideas simply and collaborate effectively across global teams with a focus on measurable business impact.Your careerGoldman Sachs is a meritocracy where you will be given tools to advance your career. In-house training programmes, including Goldman Sachs University, offer a comprehensive series of courses spanning technical, business and leadership skills. #J-18808-Ljbffr
