Staff Machine Learning Engineer(Risk Intelligence/AI Agent)
About the Opportunity
What You'll Be Doing
-
Design, build, and deploy machine learning models for risk use cases such as payment fraud, account takeover, scam detection, deposit and withdrawal risk, promotional abuse, customer risk assessment, and transaction monitoring.
-
Own production ML systems end to end, including feature pipelines, training workflows, model serving, decision integrations, monitoring, alerting, drift detection, retraining, and incident response.
-
Partner with risk strategy and product teams to translate models into effective production controls, including approval, rejection, review, cooldown, limit adjustment, account restriction, and other risk mitigation actions.
-
Work closely with risk operations teams to understand investigation workflows, incorporate reviewer feedback, improve model explainability, and continuously refine labels and training data.
-
Apply AI-assisted development throughout the engineering workflow, using LLM coding tools to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging, analysis, and documentation while maintaining appropriate security and review standards.
-
Develop AI-powered risk capabilities such as investigation agents, case summarization, evidence collection, review recommendations, alert triage, suspicious-entity mining, and automated decision support.
-
Take research-stage models into reliable production systems by validating feature logic, reviewing data quality, addressing latency and scalability constraints, and ensuring consistency between offline training and online inference.
-
Ensure models and decision systems are explainable, traceable, and well documented so that model outputs can be understood by risk operations, product stakeholders, internal governance teams, and regulators where applicable.
-
Design, build, and deploy LLM-based agents for risk operations and investigation workflows, including case triage, evidence retrieval, transaction analysis, alert summarization, review recommendations, and automated action orchestration.
-
Develop production-grade agent architectures using tool calling, retrieval-augmented generation, workflow orchestration, structured outputs, memory, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop controls.
-
Build evaluation frameworks for LLM agents, measuring factual accuracy, task completion, decision consistency, latency, cost, reviewer acceptance, and operational impact. Ensure LLM agents operate safely in a regulated risk environment by implementing permission controls, audit logs, data privacy protections, prompt and tool security, fallback mechanisms, and clear escalation paths.
What We Look For in You
-
Significant professional experience in machine learning engineering, applied data science, or a closely related field, with a strong record of taking models from prototype to production. Scope and level will be calibrated based on experience.
-
Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, LightGBM, or scikit-learn.
-
Strong knowledge of applied machine learning fundamentals, including supervised learning, anomaly detection, representation learning, class-imbalanced modeling, model calibration, and evaluation under changing data distributions.
-
Demonstrable fluency with AI-assisted engineering. You regularly use LLM coding tools, have built AI-integrated workflows or applications, and understand both the productivity benefits and the security, reliability, and governance risks.
-
Familiarity with model explainability techniques such as SHAP, feature attribution, reason-code generation, and model scorecards.
-
Hands-on experience designing and deploying production LLM agents, including agentic workflows, tool calling, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt and context management, structured output generation, and multi-step task orchestration.
-
Experience integrating LLM agents with internal systems, APIs, databases, search tools, case-management platforms, or decision engines to automate complex operational workflows.
-
A strong understanding of LLM-agent evaluation and reliability, including hallucination control, grounding, observability, permissions, failure handling, human review, latency, and cost optimization.
-
Experience building AI agents for fraud, risk, compliance, customer operations, cybersecurity, or other high-stakes domains is a meaningful advantage.
-
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineers, data scientists, risk specialists, product managers, operations teams, and legal or compliance stakeholders.
