  • Build, hire, coach, and develop a globally distributed team of ML engineers, senior individual contributors, and managers.
  • Set standards for model development, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and operational ownership.
  • Improve identity resolution coverage, precision, and profile classification accuracy using measured holdout baselines.
  • Own IRIS fraud-model performance, including detection rates, false positives, label quality, and feedback loops.
  • Build and scale ML infrastructure, including feature stores, training pipelines, model registries, online serving, and monitoring.
  • Partner with AI engineering to provide identity and risk signals for NAVI’s agent decisions.
  • Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Security, and Customer Success to identify and prioritize valuable ML problems.

Requirements

  • Deep experience in at least one area: entity resolution, identity graphs, fraud and abuse detection, risk scoring, or large-scale anomaly detection.
  • Strong understanding of ML evaluation, including imbalanced-data precision/recall, holdout hygiene, noisy labels, and feedback-loop contamination.
  • Experience building or scaling ML infrastructure, including feature pipelines, training orchestration, online serving, monitoring, and alerting.
  • Fluency in Python and familiarity with Spark, Airflow or equivalent, streaming systems, cloud data warehouses, and GCP.
  • Experience hiring, retaining, and developing high-performing engineering teams.
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, statistics, or an equivalent background.
  • Preferred: experience with third-party consumer identity data, adversarial ML, real-time inference, or privacy and data governance.
  • Preferred: experience in retail, payments, fintech, insurance, marketplace trust and safety, LLM/agent teams, or 0-to-1 platform development.
  • Ability to work remotely from Canada within EST/EDT or PST hours.

Benefits
