• Collaborate with engineering teams to deploy and maintain production-grade models and analytics systems
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to best practices in modeling, experimentation, and responsible AI
• Communicate findings and model insights through compelling visualizations and presentations to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or a relevant field and 8 years of related experience; or an advanced degree with 6+ years of experience; or equivalent related work experience
• Strong proficiency in Python or R, SQL, and machine learning libraries
• Hands‑on experience with large language models including prompt engineering, RAG and LLM evaluation frameworks
• Proven ability to lead end-to-end data science projects from discovery through production
• Experience writing clean, maintainable code and using version control (e.g., Git)

• Familiarity with vector databases and embedding-based retrieval

Q2’s mission is to build strong and diverse communities by strengthening their financial institutions. That mission shapes the technology we build, how we serve our customers, and how we show up for each other.

We started with a straightforward belief: technology could fundamentally change how financial institutions serve their communities. More than 20 years later, that belief still drives us.

Q2 delivers digital banking and lending solutions that help financial institutions deepen relationships, improve experiences, and grow. Across every department and region, Q2 team members bring creativity, collaboration, and purpose to building technology that makes banking stronger, easier, and more human.

Q2’s culture is built by Q2ers and grounded in ten guiding principles that define how we show up for each other, our customers, and our communities. We take our mission seriously. We also have fun doing it. Teams across the company work together to solve hard problems, move quickly, and make a real impact on the financial institutions and communities we serve. We’re also helping shape how AI is applied in financial services, bringing the same disciplined, banking‑first approach Q2 has practiced for more than 20 years to this next chapter of innovation.
