Tech Stack
About the role
- Architect and build scalable ML systems for fraud detection, anomaly detection, and behavioral analysis
- Develop and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines: data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, deployment, and continuous monitoring
- Design and implement low-latency, real-time decision systems partnering with fraud risk data scientists, integrating with transaction or behavioral data streams
- Own ML infrastructure, including model versioning, automated retraining, and safe deployment strategies (e.g., shadow, rollback).
- Build robust monitoring and alerting for model performance, latency, data quality, and drift
- Lead experimentation on model explainability, drift detection, and adversarial robustness for fraud prevention use cases
- Develop tooling and processes to improve the effectiveness and speed of the ML development lifecycle
- Partner with platform teams to meet strict SLAs for availability, latency, and accuracy
- Collaborate closely with talented engineer, data scientist and compliance teams across Rain
- Work in a fast-paced environment on a rapidly growing product suite.
- Solve complex problems at the intersection of ML systems, data, and reliability
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building ML systems in production; at least 2+ in fraud, risk, or anomaly detection domains
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Applied Math or a related technical field
- Proven track record designing and maintaining ML models at scale
- Advanced proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn)
- Strong understanding of supervised / unsupervised learning, anomaly detection, and statistical modeling
- Ability to work autonomously, manage ambiguity, and collaborate closely with data scientists to translate analytical models into robust fraud prevention systems
- Experience developing, validating, and productionalizing predictive real-time and offline fraud detection models using supervised and unsupervised ML techniques.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to prioritize, scope, and deploy MLI solutions at scale
