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

The Senior AI / Machine Learning Engineer — Fraud Prevention will join the team to develop and broaden fraud and abuse detection systems. This role involves building and deploying high-precision ML models for anomaly detection, risk scoring, and identity abuse. You will engineer risk signals from account, device, network, behavioral, velocity, and session data while integrating features into real-time risk decisioning and automated enforcement systems. The position requires applying LLMs and AI agents to expand detection and classification capabilities. You will use Python, SQL, and PyTorch to own solutions from modeling through production deployment. The work focuses on solving adversarial problems by translating emerging attack patterns into mitigations, evaluating solutions for accuracy and latency, and monitoring model drift as attacker behavior evolves within the fraud and trust and safety domain.

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 mitigations.
  • Own model evaluation, monitoring, and drift management as attacker behavior evolves.
  • Evaluate solutions across accuracy, latency, cost, and customer impact metrics.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience building and operating production ML systems, ideally in fraud, abuse, risk, or adversarial domains.
  • Solid ML background with practical experience in Python, SQL, and current ML frameworks like PyTorch.
  • Experience guiding ML systems from feature engineering to production deployment and monitoring.
  • Strong software and data engineering skills across ML, backend, and data infrastructure.
  • Experience building with LLMs and/or AI agents, particularly for AI/generation-abuse use cases.
  • Bachelor's or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Advanced degree in a related field is a plus.
  • Experience with device fingerprinting, identity verification, behavioral signals, or distributed systems (preferred).
