TL;DR · Senior AI / Machine Learning Engineer, Fraud Detection

Senior AI / Machine Learning Engineer — Fraud Detection will join the team to develop and broaden fraud and abuse detection systems. This hands-on role involves building and deploying high-precision machine learning models for anomaly detection, risk scoring, and identity verification. The engineer will extract risk signals from large-scale account, device, network, behavioral, velocity, and session data while integrating these features into real-time decisioning and automated enforcement systems. To address evolving AI abuse scenarios, the role involves applying LLMs and AI agents to enhance detection and investigation capabilities. Candidates must possess expertise in Python, SQL, and PyTorch, alongside experience in feature engineering and production monitoring. The work focuses on solving adversarial problems by translating emerging attack patterns into technical mitigations within the domains of trust, safety, and fraud prevention.

What you'll do

  • Build and deploy high-precision ML models for fraud detection, anomaly detection, and risk scoring.
  • Engineer risk signals from large-scale account, device, network, behavioral, velocity, and session data.
  • Integrate ML and AI features into real-time risk decisioning and automated enforcement systems.
  • Apply LLMs and AI agents to expand detection, investigation, and classification capabilities.
  • Translate emerging attack patterns and research into new models, signals, and mitigation strategies.
  • Manage model evaluation, monitoring, and drift as attacker behaviors evolve.
  • Evaluate technical solutions based on accuracy, latency, cost, and customer impact.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience building and operating production ML systems in fraud, abuse, risk, or adversarial domains.
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and modern ML frameworks like PyTorch.
  • Experience managing the full ML lifecycle from feature engineering to production deployment and monitoring.
  • Strong software and data engineering skills across backend and data infrastructure.
  • Experience building with LLMs and/or AI agents for detection or investigation use cases.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field (advanced degree preferred).
  • Expertise in device fingerprinting, identity verification, or network intelligence (preferred).
  • Experience with distributed systems, high-scale data pipelines, and real-time risk evaluation (preferred).
