Senior Machine Learning Engineer (Fraud)

Affirm

Remote · Canada$12,750–17,750 gross/mofull-timeAffirm Careers

On the ML Fraud team, you’ll build and improve machine learning systems that make real-time transaction decisions, protecting consumers and merchants while balancing fraud loss, customer experience, and conversion. You’ll work closely with experienced ML engineers, platform partners, and cross-functional stakeholders to take models from idea to prototype to production, and to keep them healthy with strong measurement and monitoring as fraud patterns evolve.

Responsibilities

  • You will lead development of new fraud prediction models using a mix of approaches for tabular, graph, and behavioral data
  • You will build and scale feature pipelines and training datasets from proprietary and third-party signals, partnering with data and platform teams when needed.
  • You will prototype new modeling ideas and features, run offline experiments, and drive the best-performing approaches into production with appropriate risk controls.
  • You productionize models: integrate into batch and/or real-time decision systems, and improve reliability, latency, and operational robustness.
  • You will instrument and monitor model and data health, and help define retraining/backtesting workflows as fraud patterns evolve.
  • Identify and implement foundational improvements to how the team builds models.
  • You will collaborate across Engineering, Fraud Analytics, Product, and ML Platform to define requirements, evaluate tradeoffs, and communicate results clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • What we look for
  • You have 6+ years experience researching, training, tuning and launching ML models at scale. Relevant PhD can count for up to 2 years of experience.
  • Track record of delivering high impact machine learning models in a low latency live setting
