The Company:

This is a technology company operating in the e-commerce fraud prevention space. Using machine learning and AI, businesses in this sector help online retailers approve more legitimate transactions while taking on the financial risk of fraud themselves. It is a high-impact, data-driven environment where ML is core to the product - not a supporting function.

The Role:

  • Lead and develop a team of 4-7 machine learning engineers, supporting career growth, running 1:1s, and building a psychologically safe, high-performance culture
  • Own a portfolio of experiments end to end - from prioritising hypotheses and allocating resource through to evaluating results rigorously and shipping release candidates
  • Balance near-term model improvement targets against longer-horizon research bets, re-cutting priorities as evidence comes in
  • Partner directly with Risk stakeholders as your primary internal client, operating with a high degree of autonomy and defending your team's direction with data
  • Represent your team's results to engineering leadership, Risk leaders, and the broader business

The Profile:

  • 5+ years in machine learning, data science, or ML-adjacent engineering, with at least 2-3 years of direct people management experience
  • Strong technical depth in applied ML and statistics - able to read evaluation pipelines, interrogate results, and distinguish signal from noise
  • Player-Coach mentality: comfortable being in the weeds technically while also holding accountability for team delivery and quantitative KPIs
  • Not a big-company process manager - you should be able to defend a roadmap, run rigorous experiments, and lead senior ICs, not just execute a ticket queue
  • PhD or Master's in Computer Science, Statistics, or a quantitative field strongly preferred; domain experience in payments or fraud is a bonus but not required

Unfortunately, this company is not able to offer visa sponsorship or relocation support at this time.
