The Role
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will be a driver of technical execution within the ML team. You won't just build models-you'll own the end-to-end lifecycle of high-impact ML projects, from offline experimentation to deployment to production.

Requirements:

• Education: A degree in Computer Science, Statistics, or a comparable quantitative field.
• Experience: 4-6+ years of post-undergrad work experience in a production-grade ML environment.
• Technical Depth: Strong foundation in machine learning theory, statistical evaluation, and experience with supervised/unsupervised learning at scale.
• Execution Focus: Proven track record of taking ML projects from research/prototype to high-scale production environments.
• Communication: Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Tech Stack: Proficiency in Python, SQL, key ML libraries, and Spark
• Mindset: A strong outcome-oriented mindset-you care about the "why" behind the models and the business impact they create.
• Attention to detail is critical in fraud prevention. To demonstrate this, please start your response to the first application question with the word 'Stochastic'

Nice to have:

• Previous experience in fraud, fintech, payments, or e-commerce.
• Passion for writing well-tested production-grade code
• A Master's Degree or PhD.

Why Join Us?
