TL;DR · Data Scientist, AI/ML Model Quality

As a Data Scientist, AI/ML Model Quality, you will join the team responsible for ensuring high-quality data across Wallet, Payments, and Commerce products. You will build and maintain intelligent systems, validation frameworks, and monitoring pipelines to ensure that training and evaluation datasets are reliable for both conventional machine learning and generative AI models. Your daily work involves curating gold-standard ground-truth datasets, auditing for bias, defining observability metrics like feature drift and training-serving skew, and performing telemetry analysis on GenAI workflows. You will utilize Python, including Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn, along with SQL and distributed computing frameworks like PySpark to analyze large-scale data. The role focuses on the technical challenge of maintaining model integrity and reliability within financial features by translating complex quality signals into actionable insights for engineering and product teams.

What you'll do

  • Curate and maintain gold-standard ground-truth datasets for ML and GenAI model evaluation.
  • Audit training data for systemic bias and fairness gaps before model deployment.
  • Define and report key data quality metrics such as completeness, accuracy, and timeliness.
  • Design automated data quality rules and thresholds integrated into CI/CD workflows.
  • Define and track ML observability metrics to identify performance issues and feature drift.
  • Develop dashboards and reporting workflows to provide real-time views of model health.
  • Analyze telemetry across GenAI workflows to monitor output coherence, latency, and regression patterns.
  • Identify domain-specific failure modes in GenAI systems and provide actionable recommendations for engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree is required, while a Master's or PhD in a quantitative field is preferred.
  • 3+ years of experience in data science or a related role focused on data quality, model evaluation, or ML observability.
  • Proficiency in Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn) and SQL for complex data analysis and metric creation.
  • Experience querying and analyzing large-scale datasets using distributed computing frameworks like PySpark or Spark.
  • Solid understanding of statistical methods including hypothesis testing, distribution analysis, and data drift detection.
  • Experience defining and tracking ML model health metrics in production environments.
  • Familiarity with GenAI or LLM systems, including common quality failure modes and telemetry instrumentation.
  • Experience with data visualization tools, LLM evaluation frameworks, or working with privacy-constrained data (preferred).
