TL;DR · Senior AI Scientist

As a Senior AI Scientist on the AI team, you will develop durable solutions to improve anti-fraud, security, and customer care using both analytical and deep learning approaches. You will manage complex features by experimenting with novel applications of existing methods, including agentic system evaluation and optimization. Your daily work involves curating task-specific datasets, designing evaluation frameworks for non-deterministic workflows, and embedding AI agents into your science workflow for experiment orchestration and hyperparameter search. You will apply data mining, NLP, and various machine learning paradigms such as Causal-ML, Bayesian, and Reinforcement learning to real-world problems. The role requires proficiency in Python, Scala, Java, or R, along with SQL, Hive, and SparkSQL. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners to translate customer feedback into product improvements while managing the full development cycle of major features.

What you'll do

  • Select appropriate AI approaches and identify failure modes like hallucination, bias, and drift.
  • Curate task-specific datasets and design evaluation frameworks for non-deterministic workflows.
  • Build AI-centric features while balancing trade-offs between latency, cost, and quality.
  • Integrate AI agents into the science workflow for experiment orchestration and hyperparameter search.
  • Apply advanced ML techniques including Causal-ML, Reinforcement Learning, and Deep Learning to real-world problems.
  • Provide accurate project estimates and manage the full development cycle of major features.
  • Run A/B tests and communicate technical impact to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Use customer feedback and product data to influence product direction and define success metrics.

What we're looking for

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Applied Math, Operations Research, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of industry experience with AI science.
  • Hands-on expertise in ML paradigms including Causal-ML, supervised/unsupervised, Online, Bayesian, Reinforcement, and Deep Learning.
  • Proficiency in NLP techniques, explainable AI, and common ML frameworks.
  • Expertise in Python, Scala, Java, and/or R.
  • Proficiency in SQL, Hive, and SparkSQL within a Linux environment.
  • Strong communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
