The Senior Machine Learning Engineer will join our ML team. This team is responsible for building, maintaining, and monitoring the production ML models and offline experimentation frameworks that are at the core of Signifyd’s product. This includes the core fraud detection model that decides the majority of our traffic, alongside our model training and evaluation infrastructure. We work closely with Platform Engineering teams to contribute novel modeling methods, advanced feature engineering, and robust statistical practices.
Our Culture
We value tenacity, curiosity, and a hunger for learning. Our adversaries are highly motivated fraudsters looking to exploit any gap. We seek equally motivated individuals who are passionate about keeping our customers safe while pulling the field of adversarial machine learning forward.
The Role
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will be a driver of technical execution within the ML team. You won’t just build models—you’ll own the end-to-end lifecycle of high-impact ML projects, from offline experimentation to deployment to production. You will be responsible for improving model performance, refining our experimentation processes, and ensuring our fraud detection systems are robust, scalable, and scientifically sound.
Responsibilities:
- Expand ML Capabilities – Identify, prototype, and integrate new ML technologies and infrastructure to enhance fraud detection effectiveness and scalability.
- Enable High-Velocity Experimentation – Own the design and implementation of ML pipeline components that accelerate our innovation
- Collaborate Across Functions – Partner with Product, Engineering, and Risk teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions and ensure ML initiatives align with customer needs.
- Raise the Bar – Foster a culture of technical excellence by championing best practices in testing, documentation, model monitoring, and development.
