- Work closely with scientists and engineers on detailed requirements and implementation of end-to-end solutions at scale
- Inform and influence the development of better infrastructure for developing and deploying ML models
- Advocate for and apply best practices when it comes to availability, scalability, operational excellence, and cost management
What you’ll bring:
- Deep end-to-end ML experience with a strong track record of deploying successful ML solutions
- Exceptional communication skills, able to explain complex technical concepts clearly to cross-functional partners
- Ability to deal with ambiguity; a strong ownership mindset, and a desire to thrive on minimal oversight and process
- Willingness to learn and rapidly absorb business context in the complex payments ecosystem
- Strong experience in a ML/DL framework (e.g., scikit-learn, Keras, PyTorch, TensorFlow)
- Excellent software engineering skills in multi-language settings with Scala, Java, and Python
- PhD or Masters in Computer Science or related field preferred
- Experience with causal ML or reinforcement learning is a plus
- Experience with Growth, Notifications or other Targeting systems is a plus
What you’ll learn:
- Innovation and partnership on a global scale, navigating the balance of technical rigor with business requirements
- Incubating and scaling new areas of ML within a highly successful product
