We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our AI & ML team in New York City. You will play a key role in maturing and scaling our machine learning infrastructure, ensuring the reliability, performance, and scalability of ML models in production. This role requires deep hands-on experience with MLOps principles, cloud infrastructure, and a track record of delivering robust ML systems in a fast-moving environment.

You will work closely with data scientists, engineers, and product stakeholders to deliver high-quality ML solutions that directly impact DailyPay's core products. You are expected to operate with significant autonomy: defining work, identifying dependencies, and raising the bar for the team around you.

• Platform Ownership: Help architect and build DailyPay's unified ML platform - a unified system for model development, deployment, and monitoring that serves as the backbone for every AI and ML capability at the company.

• MLOps Architecture & Delivery: Design and implement scalable ML pipelines covering model training, deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Own the delivery of end-to-end MLOps solutions with minimal oversight.

• Cloud Infrastructure: Manage and optimize AWS infrastructure for machine learning workloads, balancing cost-effectiveness, security, and availability.

• CI/CD Pipeline Development: Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and deployment of ML models and related infrastructure.

• Monitoring & Observability: Design monitoring and alerting systems for ML infrastructure and models using tools like Datadog. Proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact production.

• Technical Leadership: Lead design discussions, contribute to architectural decisions, and establish team norms for how ML systems are built, tested, and maintained. Help identify and remove blockers.

• Mentorship: Mentor junior engineers. Share domain knowledge and help build genuine technical depth on the team.

• Security & Compliance: Approach all engineering work with a security lens. Actively look for vulnerabilities in code and during peer reviews. Ensure ML pipelines handle sensitive data in accordance with company policy.

• 5+ years of experience in machine learning engineering, MLOps, or data engineering

• Strong cloud platform proficiency: AWS preferred (SageMaker, Lambda, S3, EC2, IAM, ECS), or equivalent GCP (Vertex AI, Cloud Functions, GCS, Compute Engine, Cloud Run) or Azure (Azure ML, Functions, Blob Storage, VMs, AKS) experience

• Proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch)

• Solid CI/CD experience: GitHub Actions or equivalent; designing and operating deployment pipelines

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or CloudFormation)

• Knowledge of event streaming platforms (Apache Kafka or equivalent)

• Experience with monitoring and observability tooling (Datadog, Prometheus, or Grafana)

• Strong SQL skills and experience with data pipeline tooling (dbt, Glue, Snowflake)

• Excellent communication skills; comfortable working across data science, engineering, and product teams

• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

• Familiarity with microservices architecture and RESTful API design

• Experience in fintech or regulated industries

• Contributions to open-source ML or MLOps projects
