MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER (FOUNDATIONAL AI / RISK SYSTEMS)

REMOTE - UNITED STATES

$150,000 - $190,000 BASE + MEANINGFUL EQUITY + BENEFITS

The Opportunity

We're partnering with a fast-growing fintech startup building a new category at the intersection of commercial rent, cash-flow intelligence, and applied AI.

This is a foundational machine learning role, not a research position. You'll own the systems that make real financial decisions in production, working directly with the founding team.

What You'll Be Working On

  • Build and own underwriting and risk decisioning models used in production
  • Analyze transaction-level financial data to identify key risk and performance signals
  • Design ML systems that adapt to changing cash flow and user behavior
  • Implement feedback loops that learn from real repayment outcomes
  • Partner closely with founders on product and risk decisions

What We're Looking For

  • 4+ years building and shipping ML systems in production
  • Strong data analysis skills with messy, real-world financial data
  • Experience deploying Python-based ML models
  • Ability to work independently with high ownership
  • Decision-oriented mindset (focus on outcomes, not just models)
  • Experience in risk, underwriting, or credit modeling
  • Fintech or transaction-level data exposure
  • Practical use of LLMs for classification or signal extraction

Tech Stack (Required / Core)

  • Python for ML model development and data analysis
  • Production ML deployment (risk scoring, thresholds, model iteration)
  • SQL / PostgreSQL for working with transactional data
  • Cloud environment (GCP or similar)
  • Backend integration with Node.js / TypeScript-based systems

Why This Role

  • As the first ML hire, you'll own greenfield systems that control real financial outcomes, collaborate directly with founders, and grow into a long-term leadership role with meaningful equity.

If you're motivated by building ML systems that directly affect real businesses, real cash flow, and real outcomes, APPLY.
