Our products deliver payment protection, ensure content integrity, and protect account defense for businesses around the world. The Machine Learning Platform team exists to enable product teams to construct and operate their production machine learning services as effectively as possible.

The team does this by providing a platform which handles the common needs of the product teams including production system integration, model training, model availability, health and monitoring infrastructure for model serving, and a streamlined model release process.

What we’re looking for:

As a Software Engineer in the Machine Learning Platform team you will build tools and processes to manage, improve, and rapidly scale our platform. Specifically, you will

  • Design and build tools and processes to make the release of new machine learning models fast, easy, safe, and minimally disruptive.
  • Participate in architecture discussions to meet the requirement to serve hundreds of machine learning models at thousands of queries per second.
  • Ensure that our systems can continue to scale rapidly while addressing rapidly evolving product team needs.
  • Implement scalable, high-throughput, fault-tolerant, extensible, and easily maintainable data processing pipelines for both batch and real-time systems.
  • Collaborate broadly across a variety of teammates in both engineering and data-science roles.

What would make you a strong fit:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 1+ years experience building performant distributed systems in GCP/AWS cloud using Java, Scala, or other object-oriented language.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, and debugging, testing, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication & collaboration skills, and a belief that team output is more important than individual output.
  • You are a self-starter, with a quick learning curve.

Bonus points:

  • Experience working with large datasets and best in class data processing technologies for both stream and batch processing, such as Apache Spark, Apache Beam, or MapReduce.
  • Familiarity with practical challenges in ML systems such as feature extraction and definition, data validation, training, monitoring, and management of features and models.
