About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Applied Machine Learning Engineer to join a high-performing team focused on designing and deploying advanced machine learning systems that power critical decision-making at scale.

This role is ideal for someone with deep expertise in experimentation, statistical evaluation, and production machine learning who enjoys solving complex, ambiguous problems from first principles. You'll work on high-impact machine learning systems where model performance, scalability, and reliability directly influence business outcomes.

This is a highly technical, research-oriented role with strong ownership across experimentation, model development, and production deployment.

What You'll Do

Machine Learning Research & Development

Design, prototype, and deploy advanced machine learning models to solve complex decisioning problems

Build and improve multi-model systems and decision frameworks to enhance model performance and robustness

Develop and implement offline evaluation frameworks to assess model performance before production deployment

Design experiments and validation strategies to test hypotheses and improve model effectiveness

Explore and integrate emerging machine learning techniques, tooling, and infrastructure

ML Platform & Infrastructure

Design and build machine learning pipeline components that improve experimentation velocity and production readiness

Work within distributed computing environments to support large-scale model training and evaluation

Improve model monitoring, testing, documentation, and operational reliability across production systems

Partner with engineering teams to improve data pipelines and model deployment workflows

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and business stakeholders to translate complex business problems into machine learning solutions

Align technical solutions with product strategy, operational goals, and customer outcomes

Communicate model performance, experimental results, and technical tradeoffs clearly across teams

Technical Excellence

Champion best practices in experimentation, statistical rigor, and machine learning development

Help raise the technical bar across model design, evaluation, and deployment workflows

Mentor peers and contribute to a culture of scientific excellence and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

4-6+ years of experience in production machine learning or applied research environments

Strong expertise in Python, SQL, and distributed computing frameworks such as Spark

Deep understanding of machine learning theory, statistical evaluation, and experimental design

Proven experience designing and building machine learning systems from scratch, from problem definition through production deployment

Strong experience working with large-scale datasets and distributed model training workflows

Experience building robust offline evaluation methodologies and model validation frameworks

Strong foundation in statistics, optimization, or machine learning research

Ability to operate in ambiguous environments and independently drive technical solutions

Preferred Qualifications

PhD or Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field

Experience in risk modeling, trust & safety, anomaly detection, or related decisioning domains

Experience with ensemble methods, ranking systems, or optimization frameworks

Familiarity with modern ML infrastructure and large-scale experimentation systems

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging machine learning problems at scale, with strong ownership over experimentation, model design, and production systems. You'll help shape the future of machine learning strategy in a fast-moving, high-impact environment.
