Moody's is transforming how the world sees risk. As a global leader in ratings and integrated risk assessment, we're advancing AI to move from insight to action-enabling intelligence that not only understands complexity but responds to it.

Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. (Preferred)

Experience developing and deploying models on large, complex, real-world datasets: financial statements, macro time series, text, and other unstructured sources. (Preferred)

Ability to own the full model-development lifecycle: conceptualization, data exploration, design, estimation, validation, deployment, user training, and monitoring. (Preferred)

Research output: publications, conference work, or open-source contributions.(Preferred)

Education

Ph.D. in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Economics, Finance, Operations Research, or a related quantitative field; or master's degree in any of these fields, with 2-3 years of experience in the financial industry.

ResponsibilitiesPartner across Moody's business lines to enhance modeling and analytical frameworks, incorporating stateoftheart ML and deeplearning techniques.

Design and deliver innovative analytical solutions, leveraging deep learning and quantitative methods to address complex financial, economic, and operational problems.

Identify opportunities for automation and modelbased decision enhancement, applying neural networks, representation learning, and statistical methods to improve accuracy, efficiency, and performance.

Collaborate with crossdisciplinary teams to build scalable, cloudbased analytical platforms grounded in clean, wellengineered data.

Apply deep expertise in statistical, machine learning, and deeplearning methods to develop insights and decision frameworks for internal stakeholders and clients.

Provide technical leadership, advising business partners on modeling strategy, tradeoffs, and the appropriate role of deep learning in analytical solutions.

Communicate technical subject matter clearly and concisely, ensuring that insights, limitations, and implications are well understood by diverse audiences.
