About the role
Software engineer role focused on building machine learning systems to detect and prevent account abuse at scale, with emphasis on production-ready features, measurement, and safe rollout.
Responsibilities
- Build and operate a feature computation platform that serves both model training and real-time scoring, with point-in-time correct training data and low-latency online retrieval
- Train, evaluate, and deploy models that detect account-level abuse and fraud, running them both offline and online
- Build tooling that automates more of the model development lifecycle, including using Claude to speed up feature development, training, and evaluation
- Make backtesting, shadow deployment, and staged rollout the default path to production, with monitoring for training / serving skew, drift, and adversarial adaptation
- Work with data scientists and Policy & Enforcement team to improve label coverage and quality
- Partner with product and platform teams to gather signals and integrate model decisions with minimal impact on systems' latency, stability, or overall architecture
Qualifications
- Proficiency in Python and SQL
- Experience training machine learning models and deploying them to production
- Experience building data pipelines with a batch processing engine (e.g., Spark, Beam) and a workflow scheduler (e.g., Airflow)
- Working understanding of point-in-time correctness and training / serving skew, and how to prevent both
- Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
