About The Position

On the ML Fraud team, you’ll build and improve machine learning systems that make real-time transaction decisions, protecting consumers and merchants while balancing fraud loss, customer experience, and conversion. You’ll work closely with experienced ML engineers, platform partners, and cross-functional stakeholders to take models from idea to prototype to production, and to keep them healthy with strong measurement and monitoring as fraud patterns evolve.

Requirements

6+ years experience researching, training, tuning and launching ML models at scale. Relevant PhD can count for up to 2 years of experience.
Track record of delivering high impact machine learning models in a low latency live setting
Strong Python skills and experience writing production-quality code.
Experience building and evaluating models for tabular classification problems (preferably gradient-boosted decision trees like LightGBM/XGBoost/CatBoost, or similar).
Experience with a deep learning framework (PyTorch preferred).
Experience working with distributed data processing or parallel compute frameworks (Spark preferred; Ray/Dask or similar).
Experience with ML lifecycle tooling for training orchestration, experimentation, and model monitoring (e.g., Kubeflow, Airflow, MLflow, or equivalent internal platforms).
Proficient in using AI-powered developer tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate iteration, debugging, and code quality as part of day-to-day development workflows.
Mastered taking a simple problem or business scenario into a solution that interacts with multiple software components, and executing on it by writing clear, easily understood, well tested and extensible code.
Comfortable navigating a large code base, debugging others' code, and providing feedback to other engineers through code reviews.
Experience demonstrates that you take ownership of your growth, proactively seeking feedback from your team, your manager, and your stakeholders.
Strong verbal and written communication skills that support effective collaboration with our global engineering team.

Responsibilities

Lead development of new fraud prediction models using a mix of approaches for tabular, graph, and behavioral data
Build and scale feature pipelines and training datasets from proprietary and third-party signals, partnering with data and platform teams when needed.
Prototype new modeling ideas and features, run offline experiments, and drive the best-performing approaches into production with appropriate risk controls.
Productionize models: integrate into batch and/or real-time decision systems, and improve reliability, latency, and operational robustness.
Instrument and monitor model and data health, and help define retraining/backtesting workflows as fraud patterns evolve.
Identify and implement foundational improvements to how the team builds models.
Collaborate across Engineering, Fraud Analytics, Product, and ML Platform to define requirements, evaluate tradeoffs, and communicate results clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
