  • This role reports to our office Alpharetta, GA or our Midtown (OAC, Atlanta) office.

Responsibilities

  • Advance Experimental Research: Build and experiment with transformer-based models specifically for structured and credit time-series data, pushing the boundaries of model performance and capability.
  • Execute Rigorous Experimentation: Conduct ablations, hyperparameter sweeps, and controlled experiments to validate hypotheses on model behavior and training dynamics.
  • Collaborate on Integration: Partner with our internal ML Engineering team to ensure your research prototypes are successfully integrated into production pipelines.
  • Drive Strategic Expansion: Work with senior technical leadership to extend our core models beyond interpretability into broader discriminative and generative modeling architectures.
  • Build and experiment with transformer-based models specifically for structured and credit time-series data, pushing the boundaries of model performance and capability.

Requirements

  • Ability to write clean, well-structured, and efficient Python code.
  • Experience with sequence-to-sequence models, diffusion models, or other generative modeling techniques.
  • Experience with irregular time-series, missingness handling, or temporal embedding techniques.

Skills

  • Demonstrated curiosity, technical ambition, and a desire to grow your research career under senior technical leadership.
  • Advanced Modeling: Experience with sequence-to-sequence models, diffusion models, or other generative modeling techniques.
  • Data Complexity: Experience with irregular time-series, missingness handling, or temporal embedding techniques.
  • Primary Location:
  • USA-Atlanta JV White
