Who we are:
Using cutting edge Generative AI and Machine Learning techniques, the GPS Data and AI team drives and powers innovation within one of the largest payment businesses in the world. We are the engine that fuels our business partners and clients across the organization globally, building revolutionary end-to-end production level solutions at scale. At our core, we are a team that is a collection of individuals who welcome challenging problems, because that is where the learning begins - and we are at the front line of the long-term transformation of how AI is applied at one of the largest banking institutions in the world.
