Job Description:

Python programming skills for machine learning applications in the risk/fraud domain are expected

Got anyone for this – big name companies and ideal fraud/risk space!!!

About The Team

The Risk Decisioning team keeps Etsy a safe and trusted marketplace by building advanced and scalable ML technologies to detect and prevent risk and fraud. We currently have 8 engineers on the team, with a mix of ML Engineers, Applied Scientists, and Full Stack Engineers.

About The Role

We are looking for someone who is passionate about applying ML to deliver customer impact and have the domain expertise and vision to serve as the team’s technical leader in ML. Our work addresses pressing, real-world problems, including detection of transactional fraud, fake account creation, collusion fraud, and more. As a member of the engineering team, this role is a great opportunity to collaborate with Senior ML professionals on large-scale projects protecting millions of users.

Typical responsibilities of this role include:

• Solve customer and business problems (protecting against seller fraud, transactional fraud, account takeover, fake accounts, etc.) using machine learning techniques like graph ML, deep neural networks, and anomaly detection.

• Take ideas and scale them to millions to users. Develop and implement end-to-end plans, including idea generation, project planning, model development, production model serving, and ownership of model performance.

• Architect new and improve on existing ML systems, including building data architectures (e.g. large-scale graph data processing and storage), enabling faster and more robust model development, and improving model serving and orchestration.

• Provide technical leadership on long-term strategy, roadmap, ML design, and system architecture.

• Help to coach and mentor more junior team members.

• Collaborate with team members and cross-team partners for problem identification, technical design/delivery, and product operationalization.

• Share impactful and innovative work in the wider ML research community, including presenting at top-tier ML conferences such as: KDD, ICML, NeurIPS, etc.

• Of course, this is just a sample of the kinds of work this role will require! You should assume that your role will encompass other tasks, too, and that your job duties and responsibilities may change from time to time at Etsy's discretion, or otherwise applicable with local law.
