Staff Machine Learning Engineer

You will own the real-time decisioning platform for fraud detection and prevention. You will build feature infrastructure, maintain consistency between training and serving, operate low-latency scoring services, design fallback paths, create feedback loops, and manage models from training through retirement with safe reversible deployments.

Responsibilities

  • Turn ambiguous problems into well-defined solutions
  • Set technical standards through rigorous reviews and lasting engineering practices
  • Develop feature infrastructure for batch near-real-time and in-request paths
  • Maintain alignment between model training and serving
  • Build feedback loops that capture decisions and outcomes
  • Scale the platform as transaction volume and model complexity grow
  • Own real-time transaction-scoring services within strict latency budgets
  • Design degraded paths and fallback policies
  • Improve replay shadow and staged-rollout tooling
  • Manage models across training deployment monitoring and retirement
  • Detect model decay before it results in financial losses

Requirements

  • Experience building and operating high-availability services within strict latency budgets
  • Experience designing robust fallback mechanisms
