Applied Researcher 4 (AI Foundations, LLM Core and Agentic AI)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, duplicated lines, etc. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - Intro paragraph: "At Capital One, we are creating trustworthy and reliable AI systems, changing banking for good. For years, Capital One has been leading the industry in using machine learning to create real-time, intelligent, automated customer experiences. From informing customers about unusual charges to answering their questions in real time, our applications of AI & ML are bringing humanity and simplicity to banking. We are committed to building world-class applied science and engineering teams and continue our industry leading capabilities with breakthrough product experiences and scalable, high-performance AI infrastructure. At Capital One, you will help bring the transformative power of emerging AI capabilities to reimagine how we serve our customers and businesses who have come to love the products and services we build." That's about the role. - Team Description: "The AI Foundations team is at the center of bringing our vision for AI at Capital One to life. Our work touches every aspect of the research life cycle, from partnering with Academia to building production systems. We work with product, technology and business leaders to apply the state of the art in AI to our business." Could be part of About the role or separate. We'll include in About the role. - What You’ll Do: list of duties. Let's extract bullet points: "Partner with a cross-functional team of data scientists, software engineers, machine learning engineers and product managers to deliver AI-powered products that change how customers interact with their money." "Leverage a broad stack of technologies — Pytorch, AWS Ultraclusters, Huggingface, Lightning, and more — to reveal the insights hidden within huge volumes of numeric and textual data." "Build AI foundation models through all phases of development, from design through training, evaluation, validation, and implementation." "Engage in high impact applied research to take the latest AI developments and push them into the next generation of customer experiences." "Flex your interpersonal skills to translate the complexity of your work into tangible business goals." "Collaborate with senior researchers to prepare internal tech reports or conference submissions summarizing novel methods or findings" That's responsibilities. - The Ideal Candidate: seems like a list of traits/qualities. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications or Skills. It includes: Innovative, Creative, A leader, Technical, Has a deep understanding..., Experience building large deep learning models..., An engineering mindset..., Experience delivering libraries..., A professional with a track record..., Possess the ability to own and pursue a research agenda... These are qualifications/requirements. - Basic Qualifications: "Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, AI, Mathematics, or related fields, with an exception that required degree will be obtained on or before the scheduled start date or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, AI, Mathematics, or related fields plus 2 years of experience in Applied Research" - Preferred Qualifications: long list. - Benefits: mention "Capital One offers a comprehensive, competitive, and inclusive set of health, financial and other benefits that support your total well-being. Learn more at the Capital One Careers website. Eligibility varies based on full or part-time status, exempt or non-exempt status, and management level." Also "This role is also eligible to earn performance based incentive compensation, which may include cash bonus(es) and/or long term incentives (LTI). Incentives could be discretionary or non discretionary depending on the plan." Thus Benefits section. - Pay: salary ranges per location. Provide that. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's "This role is expected to accept applications for a minimum of 5 business days." That's about application period, not schedule. No schedule info like full-time, part-time? It mentions full-time annual salaries, part-time prorated. Could infer full-time. But we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule like "Full-time" explicitly? It mentions full-time annual salaries, part-time prorated. Could infer but not explicit. Safer to omit Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, accommodation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings,

• for lists,

  for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe from Ideal Candidate traits), Benefits, Pay. We must avoid thin sections. Could combine some. But instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (combining basic+preferred+ideal candidate), Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't invent content. Let's extract content precisely. About the role: combine intro + team description. Paragraph: "At Capital One, we are creating trustworthy and reliable AI systems, changing banking for good. For years, Capital One has been leading the industry in using machine learning to create real-time, intelligent, automated customer experiences. From informing customers about unusual charges to answering their questions in real time, our applications of AI & ML are bringing humanity and simplicity to banking. We are committed to building world-class applied science and engineering teams and continue our industry leading capabilities with breakthrough product experiences and scalable, high-performance AI infrastructure. At Capital One, you will help bring the transformative power of emerging AI capabilities to reimagine how we serve our customers and businesses who have come to love the products and services we build.

Our work touches every aspect of the research life cycle, from partnering with Academia to building production systems. We work with product, technology and business leaders to apply the state of the art in AI to our business." That's fine. Responsibilities: list of duties as above. Qualifications: we need to include Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, and Ideal Candidate traits. Could be combined but must preserve all info. We'll make a

  with items. But we need to avoid repeating content. Let's list each distinct qualification. Basic Qualifications: - Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, AI, Mathematics, or related fields, with the required degree obtained on or before the scheduled start date; OR M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, AI, Mathematics, or related fields plus 2 years of experience in Applied Research.
