Senior Machine Learning Engineer – Digital Intelligence

Consumer & Community Banking division serves our Chase customers through a range of financial services, including personal banking, credit cards, mortgages, auto financing, investment advice, small business loans and payment processing. We’re proud to lead the U.S. in credit card sales and deposit growth and have the most-used digital solutions - all while ranking first in customer satisfaction. In this role, you’ll apply strong technical judgment to choose the right approaches (including modern LLM-based methods where appropriate), evaluate performance with rigorous metrics, and ensure solutions are reliable, secure, and scalable in real-world environments. You’ll also contribute to improving data quality and feedback loops, monitoring models in production, and continuously iterating to reduce agent effort, shorten resolution times, and increase consistency and quality across operational workflows.

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer-Digital intelligence in the Digital Intelligence team, you will be collaborating with a high-caliber team of software developers and deep learning experts, you will specialize in large language modeling, optimization, interpretability, and related algorithms

The ideal candidate brings a strong software engineering foundation combined with hands-on, zero-to-one machine learning development experience. You will possess broad expertise in post-training machine learning models - including quality and performance optimization - alongside deep knowledge of large language models and modern deep learning techniques. Above all, you will have a demonstrated ability to operate at the intersection of research and engineering, turning promising ideas into scalable, real-world products within a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Job Responsibilities
