  • • Own end-to-end design, development, and deployment of machine learning, statistical, and graph algorithms on large-scale PII datasets to improve match rates, reduce false positives/negatives, and support fraud detection systems.
  • • Architect and optimize graph-based identity representations, build scalable data pipelines in Spark/PySpark on AWS/Databricks, and lead A/B tests and experimentation for new models and data sources.
  • • Partner with Product, Engineering, and compliance teams to translate regulatory and business requirements into technical roadmaps, mentor junior staff, and communicate complex findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • • Deep understanding of supervised/unsupervised learning, feature engineering, model evaluation, and experiment design (A/B testing, holdout strategies).
  • • Experience developing production-quality data pipelines using Airflow or similar orchestration tools.
  • • Practical familiarity with graph databases/frameworks (Neo4j, AWS Neptune, GraphFrames, DGL, PyTorch Geometric) and graph algorithms for clustering, link prediction, and community detection.

  • • Remote work flexibility within the United States (must be within 45 miles of a talent hub).
  • • Collaborative, high-bar culture that values ownership, critical thinking, and solving complex customer problems with precision.
