Senior AI/LLM Data Scientist in Agentic AI

Help define how Agentic AI is built across ING

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving from predictive models and conversational interfaces into autonomous systems capable of reasoning, planning, and taking action.

At ING, we're building the next generation of banking capabilities through Agentic AI. As part of our global Analytics Engineering organization, you'll help develop intelligent systems that support domains such as Pricing, Risk Management, Financial Crime, Customer Intelligence, and People Analytics.

As an Senior AI/LLM Data Scientist, you'll play a key role in shaping how these capabilities are designed, scaled, and adopted across ING's international network.

Why This Role Is Different

This role is designed for experienced individual contributors who want to expand their technical influence without moving into people management.

Beyond building solutions, you'll help define technical standards, guide architectural decisions, and contribute to the evolution of Agentic AI practices across the organization.

You'll work on real-world applications of Generative AI, LLMs, retrieval systems, and agentic workflows while collaborating with teams across multiple countries and business domains.

About the Role

As anSenior AI/LLM Data Scientist in Agentic AI, you will design, build, and deploy AI agents and intelligent workflows powered by Large Language Models.

Working closely with Product Leads, Engineers, Architects, and business stakeholders, you'll turn emerging AI capabilities into scalable solutions that create measurable business value.

This role sits above our Senior AI/LLM Data Scientist track and is intended for professionals who want to deepen their technical impact while remaining hands-on.

Work Model

At ING Hubs Türkiye, flexibility is more than a benefit-it's part of how we work.

Our hybrid working model is designed to balance collaboration, innovation, and personal flexibility. Team members typically come together in our Vadistanbul office for two days per week during three weeks of the month, while one week each month is fully remote.

As part of a globally distributed organization, you'll collaborate with colleagues across multiple ING locations while contributing to AI solutions that support international banking operations.

What You'll Help Build

As an Senior AI/LLM Data Scientist, you'll work on some of the most advanced AI challenges within ING.

This may include:

• AI agents that interact with tools, APIs, databases, and business applications.
• Multi-agent workflows that support complex reasoning and decision-making processes.
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures powered by vector databases and embedding-based retrieval.
• Context-aware AI solutions that combine business data, enterprise systems, and Large Language Models.
• Agent evaluation, monitoring, governance, and reliability frameworks.
• AI solutions operating within highly regulated financial-services environments.

For example, you might help design a multi-agent workflow that retrieves information from multiple sources, generates recommendations, and supports decision-making across customer, risk, or operational processes.

About You

We hire smart people like you for your potential. Our biggest expectation is that you'll stay curious. Keep learning. Take on responsibility. In return, we'll back you to develop into an even more awesome version of yourself.

We're looking for someone with strong AI expertise who enjoys solving complex problems and turning innovative ideas into production-ready solutions.

You likely bring:

• 5+ years of experience in Data Science, Machine Learning, NLP, Generative AI, or related disciplines.
• A degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Experience building and deploying production-grade AI applications.
• Strong Python skills and experience delivering production-ready code.
• Experience building LLM, Generative AI, NLP, or Agentic AI solutions.
• Practical experience designing and implementing RAG systems using vector databases, embeddings, and retrieval-based architectures.
• Experience with modern LLM development patterns, prompting techniques, evaluation approaches, and model optimization methods.
• Familiarity with fine-tuning, PEFT, prompt engineering, or similar customization techniques.
• Experience integrating AI systems with APIs, tools, databases, workflows, and enterprise platforms.
• Strong communication skills and fluent English.

Experience with LangGraph, LangChain, Semantic Kernel, CrewAI, AutoGen, Azure AI, OpenAI APIs, Vertex AI, workflow orchestration platforms, or distributed AI architectures will be considered an advantage.
