At Synapse, our mission is to accelerate the democratization of best in class financial products for everybody. 

Through the use of machine learning techniques and algorithms, we want to build an automated back office that decreases cost for customers and provides state of the art financial products for anyone regardless of net worth.

Our Machine Learning team plays a crucial role in creating models that are able to process and verify user data and simultaneously looking for ways to evaluate fraud and any other potentially unethical activity.

We are looking for experienced machine learning engineers to come join our fast-growing company.

Here is an example of a Synapse ML tool: https://medium.com/synapsefi/insto-instant-account-opening-a2aac88bc0dd. Everything here uses machine learning, from instant ID verification, to video authentication to social media verification. These are the kind of tools you will be building.

In order to be successful at Synapse, you should have:

• Design and build systems from the ground up. You will be creating a service that will be at the core of the majority of Synapse systems
• Build the model serving systems with which we can use to deploy our models to production 
• Scale the ML system to allow it to support more cases and and ML model types 
• Build and implement machine learning infrastructure that allows any Synapse engineer the ability to prototype and iterate on products and features to be executed on top of consumer-permissioned financial data 
• Collaborate closely with other members cross functionally (account managers, compliance specialists, support, etc.) in order to deliver high quality code for business system problems as they arise
• Ability to build and fine tune ML models that can support all of Synapse internal compliance regulations and ML platform features
