Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Fraud

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. the company powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use.

the company’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam.

The Fraud Data team at the company builds the machine learning systems that power the company’s fraud detection products, leveraging insights from across the company’s network to help identify and stop fraud before it happens. Our team works across the full data science and machine learning lifecycle—from discovering new signals and experimenting with models to deploying and optimizing them in production.

We continuously learn from real-world model performance and customer feedback to improve our systems and develop new ways to protect customers and consumers from evolving fraud threats.

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer on the company's Fraud Data team, you will develop models that improve fraud detection for our customers. You will identify predictive patterns in the company's network data and lead projects from initial experiments through model deployment and ongoing improvement.

• Investigate fraud patterns and model errors to identify new signals, improve detection, and expand coverage across customers and use cases.

• Develop training datasets and predictive features, addressing challenges such as incomplete labels, class imbalance, data leakage, and changing fraud behavior.

• Design, train, and tune models using traditional and modern ML methods, including gradient-boosted trees and neural networks, and evaluate newer architectures against existing approaches.

• Design experiments to test features and models, comparing performance across time periods and customer segments using agreed detection and false-positive metrics.

• Build data and training pipelines that support reproducible experiments and efficient iteration on features and models.

• Deploy models with Engineering and ML Infrastructure partners, balancing detection quality, latency, cost, and reliability.

• Independently lead ML projects, agreeing on priorities and evaluation metrics with Data Science and Product and coordinating work through model release.

• Build hands-on machine learning expertise across the full ML lifecycle, from feature engineering and experimentation to model deployment.

• Take models from initial experimentation through production and evaluate their impact using real-world customer outcomes.

• Develop experience building and scaling reliable ML systems in production.

• Explore how LLMs and Generative AI can improve fraud detection, prevention, and investigation.

• Accelerate your career in a fast-paced environment with opportunities to take ownership, solve complex problems, and make a meaningful impact.

• 7+ years of professional experience in machine learning, applied science, or software engineering for ML, including hands-on model development and deployment.

• Hands-on experience designing, training, tuning, and deploying models, and measuring improvements in production performance or business metrics.

• Strong ML and statistical fundamentals, including feature engineering, experiment design, model…
