Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Risk
- Full-time
Company Description
Job Description
As a Machine Learning Engineer within the Risk Machine Learning team, you will lead projects that enable a software driven, machine learning centric view on all money movement and every transaction within the rapidly growing Square seller ecosystem. This touches on actively maximizing the trade off of revenue growth and risk using artificial intelligence. The machine learning driven software that we release interacts with every transaction and money movement within our seller ecosystem - a profound degree of scale and impact. Such machine learning techniques touch on reinforcement learning, decision theory, deep learning sequence modeling, and optimization theory. In addition, we also strive to provide our sellers, through seller facing products, with transparency around why our machine learning made a particular decision. This touches on algorithms in the relatively new space of explainable artificial intelligence.
Our algorithms derive value from our unique and rich data from our entire product portfolio within our rapidly growing seller ecosystem. We partner with business, product, operations and engineering teams to drive optimal decision making systems using sophisticated modeling and machine learning. We’re a passionate team of entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers who are shipping machine learning software that actively actively manages Square’s view on each transaction as it pertains to our revenue growth and risk.
You Will
Lead and drive cross functional machine learning projects from beginning to end: build relationships with partner teams, frame and structure questions, collect and analyze data, research, prototype, and build out machine learning pipelines, and runtime services of models in production.
Collaborate with business leaders, subject matter experts, and decision makers to develop success criteria and optimize new products, features, policies, and models
Build a strategy of how various machine learning driven solutions come together against a team and technical product strategy.
Qualifications
You Have
5+ years industry experience in software engineering or machine learning-focused roles.
An advanced degree (M.S., PhD.), preferably in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Physics, Mathematics or a related technical field.
A strong track record of performing machine learning model development using Python (numpy, tensorflow, pytorch, scikit-learn, etc.) and SQL/NoSQL interaction patterns.
Familiarity with Linux/OS X command line, version control software (git), and general software development principles with a machine learning software development life-cycle orientation.
Machine learning strategic sequencing of methodological and software improvements to work back from maximizing core metrics associated with optimizing the business.
The ability to clearly communicate complex results to technical and non-technical audiences.
