TL;DR · Senior ML/AI Modeler, Risk Automation Machine Learning

Careers - Senior ML/AI Modeler, Risk Automation Machine Learning joins the Risk Automation ML team to automate risk and compliance investigations using agentic and generative AI technology. This senior role involves designing and deploying copilot and autopilot systems to improve analyst productivity or eliminate manual decision loops entirely. The successful candidate will own end-to-end systems including API integrations, prompt tuning, orchestration, and monitoring while building transformer-based models from diverse datasets like payment transactions and asset graphs. Key technical requirements include proficiency in the Python ML stack, LLMs, Pytorch, Snowflake, Airflow, and cloud services across GCP and AWS. The role addresses the critical challenge of identifying fraudulent or illegal activity across traditional payment and blockchain networks to ensure a safe user experience while streamlining historically manual investigation workflows for internal operations teams.

What you'll do

  • Deploy AI copilot and autopilot systems to improve analyst productivity or eliminate manual decision loops.
  • Manage end-to-end systems including API integration, prompt tuning, orchestration, and production monitoring.
  • Build transformer-based ML models using diverse datasets like payment transactions and user profile information.
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, and operations teams to deploy and tune production-grade systems.
  • Utilize the Python ML stack, LLMs, PyTorch, Snowflake, and Airflow to execute technical tasks.
  • Use agentic tools to accelerate research, development, devops, and documentation work.
  • Drive strategic roadmaps and priorities for risk automation projects to completion.

What we're looking for

  • You must have 8+ years of machine learning modeling experience.
  • Full stack ML experience is preferred.
  • You must have a Master's or advanced degree in a technical field like computer science, data science, or physics.
  • Experience with AI engineering, large language models, and traditional NLP techniques is a strong plus.
  • You must have experience building and deploying production-grade ML/AI systems at scale for both batch and real-time use.
  • You must be proficient in the Python ML stack, LLMs, PyTorch, Snowflake, Airflow, and GCP or AWS cloud services.
  • You must have experience independently leading programs with cross-functional stakeholders to drive significant business impact.
