At a glance
As a senior individual contributor in Model Risk Management at Block, you will independently challenge model owners across lending, fraud, and AML by reproducing their results, setting acceptance thresholds, and validating models for soundness. You will identify silent errors that distort metrics and ensure evaluation methods hold up under real-world conditions. This role involves hands-on work in unfamiliar codebases, shipping production code for validation tooling, and building agentic systems to validate cutting-edge AI tools. You must have a deep understanding of various ML techniques, strong software engineering skills with Python and SQL, and fluency in modern AI development tools like Claude Code and Copilot. Familiarity with model risk management frameworks and fair-lending standards is beneficial, as you will communicate complex findings to stakeholders and operate under ambiguity across diverse teams.
