This role is dedicated to the Digital Intelligence team and will support our engineers and data scientists by delivering scalable, high-quality ML infrastructure and operational tooling for modeling and inference.

What you'll do:

• Design and implement scalable ML pipelines for model training, inference, and evaluation.

• Build and maintain systems for feature engineering, deployment, and monitoring.

• Collaborate with data scientists to transform research prototypes into production-grade models.

• Optimize ML systems for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.

• Implement CI/CD and MLOps practices for model versioning, reproducibility, and monitoring.

• Manage ML workflows and pipeline orchestration.

• Partner with product, engineering, data science, and security teams to ensure compliant and reliable model delivery.

• Document systems and processes for team use and compliance.

What you bring:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.

• 5+ years of experience building and deploying machine learning systems in production.

• Proficient in Java, or Go, with experience using production-grade ML frameworks.

• Familiarity with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, or similar tools.

• Strong understanding of AWS services including SageMaker, Glue, EMR, Lambda, and Step Functions.

• Experience with orchestration tools such as Airflow or AWS Step Functions.

• Deep understanding of MLOps concepts including deployment automation and experiment tracking.

• Solid knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and distributed computing.

• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with device, behavioral or time-series data.

• Familiarity with feature stores and strategies for maintaining online/offline feature consistency.

• Exposure to large-scale data processing with Apache Spark, Kafka, or Flink.

• Experience with model observability tools and A/B testing frameworks.

• Knowledge of fraud detection, identity verification, or risk modeling domains.

• Exposure to LLMs, prompt engineering, or foundation model deployment is a plus.
