  • 8+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or related fields, ideally in a high-growth tech or fintech environment.
  • Experience in fraud prevention, risk modeling, or identity verification.
  • Years of hands-on experience developing and deploying deep learning models (such as transformers, CNNs/RNNs, and graph learning).
  • Experience working with diverse data modalities, such as tabular data, text/language, point clouds, and images.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and major ML libraries/frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn)
  • Deep understanding of machine learning algorithms, model evaluation techniques, and data pipeline development.
  • Experience with model deployment and monitoring in production environments (specific experience with real-time model inferencing is a plus)
  • Experience with LLMs and Agentic AI framework/infrastructure (e.g., LangChain/LangGraph/Ray) is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to proactively deliver complex outcomes, mentor others, and influence cross-functional decisions.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex data problems into actionable business insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Commitment to continuous learning, professional integrity, and high standards of business ethics.
