• We are a remote-first company with a globally distributed team. You can find your productive zone and work from there.

About the role

Every onboarding decision we make — a payment approved, an account blocked, a KYC case escalated — is the output of a pipeline someone built. This role owns those pipelines end to end: how data arrives, how it becomes a feature, how that feature becomes a model, and how that model stays correct in production.

This is a high-impact, highly technical IC role sitting at the intersection of data engineering and ML engineering. We need someone at the senior level to set technical direction for the next order of magnitude: new feature generation, build specific models around KYC onboarding, in house entity matcher for the sanctions and more
