📋 Description

• Build Navanta’s retrieval and verifications over data systems, with shown queries and citations for every answer • Stand up self-hosted open-weight models serving and embeddings inside each bank’s environment or shared environments for Navanta; evolve RAG to a dedicated standard • Design the MCP tool layer that exposes a small, audited set of read-only tools (metrics, documents, customer 360), eventually growing into read/write tools with heavy amounts of regulated, highly sensitive data • Build and maintain the evaluation harness — golden-question regression, groundedness and retrieval metrics, explicit “I don’t know” behavior — and make it a release gate • Implement LLM guardrails: PII redaction in prompts and context, prompt-injection defenses, and cost and row limits aligned to regulatory security expectations • Partner with data teams so the model selects governed metrics from the semantic layer rather than improvising SQL • Document model architecture, evaluation methodology, and guardrail controls to support customer security reviews and audit readiness • Track latency, cost, and quality trade-offs across model versions and deployment configurations

🎯 Requirements

• 6–10+ years building software, with 2–3+ years shipping production LLM, RAG, or NLP systems used by real people — not prototypes • A demonstrated focus on accuracy and evaluation, not just demos • Strong Python and solid software-engineering fundamentals • Comfort operating self-hosted open-weight models and reasoning about latency, cost, and quality trade-offs

🏖️ Benefits

• Typical office environment • Up to 20% travel time may be required
