Senior Machine Learning Engineer
We usually respond within three days
As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll architect the decision intelligence that powers how capital flows across the region. You’ll lead the charge on building production-grade machine learning systems, integrating unconventional data sources, and unlocking smarter, faster decisions at scale. This is a role for someone who wants ownership, intensity, and clear impact — every day.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design, deploy, and continuously improve core ML models in underwriting, fraud, pricing, and risk management.
- Build end-to-end data pipelines that convert raw signals into real-world financial decisions.
- Lead experimentation across credit, product, and pricing hypotheses — with fast iteration and measurable outcomes.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and leadership to ship new systems that move key business metrics.
- Stay close to performance in production — championing observability, accountability, and explainability in everything you build.
What We’re Looking For
You’ve seen what it takes to move models from notebook to production — and you know where most companies get stuck. You care about the stack, the science, and the speed.
You’ll thrive here if you have:
- 5+ years in ML, DS, DE, or applied research, preferably in fintech, credit, or high-stakes decision systems.
- Proven track record shipping production-grade models that directly influence product or financial outcomes.
- Strong command of Python, SQL, and modern ML libraries — with the judgment to know what’s signal vs noise.
- Familiarity with model deployment workflows, online inference, and performance monitoring.
- Curiosity and rigor: you’re constantly learning, and never afraid to challenge assumptions with data.
- Bonus: experience with alt-data, MLOps pipelines, or real-time inference systems.
Why This Role?
- High-Stakes, High-Impact - What you build will drive real decisions for real businesses — daily.
- Zero Bureaucracy, All Execution - We’re lean, technical, and founder-led. No red tape, just runway.
- Elite Colleagues - You’ll work with people who move fast, think deeply, and care a lot.
- Ownership from Day 1 - You won’t need permission. If it’s the right call, we ship it.
- Rare Opportunity - This is a seat at the table in one of the most ambitious fintech builds in the region.
