Data Scientist Senior Associate — Business Observability & AI Platform

JP Morgan Chase · Jersey City, New Jersey · Posted 2026-09-21

Description -----------

Join a fast-moving technology team building a business observability platform for the Payments business—an analytics foundation that enables AI-assisted decision-making for senior leaders and real-time monitoring and alerting for operations teams. You’ll help deliver intraday transaction insights, anomaly detection, forecasting, and conversational analytics supported by a governed metrics foundation.

As a Data Scientist Senior Associate at JPMorganChase within Business Observability & AI Platform in Payments, you will own the analytical integrity of what we ship. You will validate the data behind key metrics, define what “correct” looks like for models, and ensure anomaly detection and forecasting outputs remain trustworthy in production. You will partner closely with product, engineering, and design to shape both the roadmap and how we communicate value to stakeholders.
