• Package models and supporting code into reproducible units, managing dependencies, libraries, and environment configurations.
• Collaborate with business and risk teams to understand modeling requirements and translate them into robust technical workflows.
• Ensure version control using GitHub and participate in regular code reviews.
• Use Jupyter Notebooks to prototype, validate, and explain model behaviors and outputs to stakeholders.
• Troubleshoot issues related to data integration, package configuration, and authorization handling.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of hands-on Python development experience, preferably in data science, financial modeling, or analytics environments.
• Strong proficiency in Python libraries such as pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, etc.
• Experience with GitHub, Jupyter Notebooks, and AWS services (e.g., S3, Lambda, EC2).
• Proficiency in working with Snowflake or other cloud-based data warehouses.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to operate independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience implementing or supporting credit risk models or allowance/CECL processes.
• Familiarity with model validation, regulatory modeling environments, or financial services.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines or productionizing model workflows in enterprise environments.
