Job Description

Zions Bancorporation is hiring an Applied AI-focused Data Scientist to connect statistical research with production-grade software engineering for ML/AI systems.

Responsibilities

Design, prototype, and validate ML/AI solutions by translating business problems into mathematical formulations and scalable, production-ready code.
Conduct deep exploratory data analysis, statistical testing, and data transformations on structured and unstructured datasets to uncover predictive signals and validate hypotheses.
Architect and implement modular, extensible, and testable Python codebases for AI experiments.
Apply clean-code practices beyond notebooks using SOLID and DRY to support hand-off to ETO Engineering teams.
Develop and experiment with applied generative AI and multi-agent architectures using orchestration frameworks such as LangChain and LangGraph, with focus on state management, robust RAG pipelines, and efficient system design.
Optimize model inference, data processing pipelines, and memory footprints to improve latency and scalability, including understanding of data structures and algorithmic complexity.
Create automated evaluation frameworks to benchmark model performance, mitigate hallucinations, track drift, and support algorithmic fairness using A/B testing and statistical rigor.
Serve as the technical translator between research ideation and engineering execution.
Communicate complex statistical findings and system architectures to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

Strong foundation in statistics (Bayesian/Frequentist), linear algebra, hypothesis testing, and ML algorithm internals (optimizers, loss functions, attention mechanisms).
Advanced Python experience with emphasis on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and modular design.
Ability to write unit tests (e.g., Pytest) for data pipelines and models.
Deep experience with ML libraries including PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, and Pandas, including implementing custom logic (not limited to out-of-the-box models).
Hands-on experience with NLP, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Vector Databases, including evaluation and optimization at scale.
Proficiency with Git/version control; experience with Docker, FastAPI and/or Flask API development; working knowledge of how models fit into a CI/CD lifecycle (MLOps).
Exceptional problem-solving skills with comfort in ambiguity; ability to own the data science lifecycle from ideation to engineered prototype.
Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field plus 4+ years of hands-on experience in applied machine learning or data science.
Master’s degree or PhD is a plus.
Education and experience combination may meet qualifications.
