• Develop model serving APIs and scalable inference layers using Go or Python.
• Implement model monitoring, drift detection, and continuous retraining pipelines.
• Work with financial text (earnings call transcripts, filings, news) to extract structured insights.
• Collaborate with data engineers to build training datasets, feature stores, and embedding databases.

Backend & Infrastructure

• Develop and maintain high-performance Python or Go microservices that integrate with AI systems and Go data APIs.
• Design and optimize real-time inference pipelines on AWS, leveraging ECS/EKS, S3, and Lambda.
• Ensure low-latency, fault-tolerant, and scalable delivery of AI-powered data.
• Implement CI/CD for ML workflows, including containerization, automated deployment, and versioning.
• Partner with DevOps to manage cloud infrastructure and ensure robust observability for AI workloads.
