Agile Development Sr Tech Lead (Gen AI Data Scientist) bei Freddie Mac

At Freddie Mac, our mission of Making Home Possible is what motivates us, and it’s at the core of everything we do. Since our charter in 1970, we have made home possible for more than 90 million families across the country. Join an organization where your work contributes to a greater purpose.

Position Overview:

As the Agile Dev Lead Sr Tech Lead (Gen AI Scientist), you will lead the design and development of advanced Generative AI solutions, including AI Agents, Agentic Workflows, and Gen AI Applications that tackle complex business challenges. This hands-on role demands deep expertise in LLMs, multi-modal AI, prompt engineering, and cloud-native GenAI (CI/CD) deployments, as well as the ability to shape and implement enterprise-grade Gen AI systems as both a technical thought leader.

Our Impact:

Our team is at the forefront of applying cutting-edge AI technologies—such as Agentic AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), multi-modal processing, and advanced model orchestration—to solve real-world business problems. By architecting scalable, robust, and secure AI solutions, we:

• Enable the organization to automate and enhance decision-making processes.

• Accelerate innovation through intelligent data-driven applications.

• Establish best practices for deploying AI safely and ethically at enterprise scale.

• Foster a culture of collaboration, technical excellence, and continuous learning.

Your Impact:

• Architect and implement scalable AI Agents, Agentic Workflows and GenAI applications to address diverse and complex business use cases.

• Develop, fine-tune, and optimize lightweight LLMs; lead the evaluation and adaptation of models such as Claude (Anthropic), Azure OpenAI, and open-source alternatives.

• Design and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Graph RAG systems using vector databases and knowledge bases.

• Curate enterprise data using connectors integrated with AWS Bedrock's Knowledge Base/Elastic

• Implement solutions leveraging MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) communication.

• Build and maintain Jupyter-based notebooks using platforms like SageMaker and MLFlow/Kubeflow on Kubernetes (EKS)

• Deploy MCP services using CI/CD pipelines (GenAI Ops)

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams of UI and microservice engineers, designers, and data engineers to build full-stack Gen AI experiences.

• Integrate GenAI solutions with enterprise platforms via API-based methods and GenAI standardized patterns.

• Establish and enforce validation procedures with Evaluation Frameworks, bias mitigation, safety protocols, and guardrails for production-ready deployment.

• Design & build robust ingestion pipelines that extract, chunk, enrich, and anonymize data from PDFs, video, and audio sources for use in LLM-powered workflows—leveraging best practices like semantic chunking and privacy controls

• Orchestrate multimodal pipelines** using scalable frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, PySpark) for automated ETL/ELT workflows appropriate for unstructured media

• Implement embeddings drives—map media content to vector representations using embedding models, and integrate with vector stores (AWS KnowledgeBase/Elastic/Mongo Atlas) to support RAG architectures

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of science and/or Master's of Science. Advanced degree/ sutudies in AI/Data Science.

• 10+ years of experience in AI/ML, with 3+ years in applied GenAI or LLM-based solutions.

• Deep expertise in prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG, GraphRAG, vector databases (e.g., AWS KnowledgeBase / Elastic), and multi-modal models.

• Proven experience with cloud-native AI development (AWS SageMaker, Bedrock, MLFlow on EKS).

• Strong programming skills in Python and ML libraries (Transformers, LangChain, etc.).

• Deep understanding of Gen AI system patterns and architectural best practices, Evaluation Frameworks

• Demonstrated ability to work in cross-functional agile teams.

Keys to Success in this Role:

Demonstrate Deep Technical Mastery

• Advanced proficiency in GenAI concepts, LLMs, multimodal AI, and cloud-native ML workflows.

• Strong programming skills and hands-on experience with tools such as Python, SageMaker, Bedrock, MLFlow, and Kubernetes.

Architect Scalable and Robust Solutions

• Ability to design and deploy AI systems that are secure, scalable, and maintainable.

• Expertise in building RAG architectures, data ingestion pipelines, and embedding-driven retrieval systems.

Collaborate Across Functions

• Work effectively with developers, designers, product managers, and data engineers.

• Communicate complex technical ideas clearly and lead teams towards shared goals.

Champion Best Practices and Safety

• Implement rigorous validation and evaluation frameworks.

• Establish guardrails for bias mitigation, safety, and privacy.

Innovate Continuously

• Stay abreast of the latest GenAI research and technologies.

• Proactively identify opportunities for impact and improvement.
