About the role
- Our models make real-time decisions across a significant share of internet commerce - helping businesses stop fraud, increase authorization, and grow safely.
- The team is growing, and expanding into multiple new areas.
Responsibilities
- You will own ML problems from conception to production: analyzing new fraud and abuse patterns, exploring large-scale datasets, experimenting with model architectures, designing evaluations, deploying models, and monitoring performance.
- Your work may include developing transformer architectures for payment data, building graph-powered intelligence across consumers, leveraging LLMs to detect emerging attacks, or rapidly prototyping new protections with frontier AI labs.
- Build, train, evaluate, and deploy models that detect fraud and abuse across Stripe's global network.
- Investigate emerging fraud and abuse patterns, identify where ML can help, and rapidly develop effective solutions.
- Design features, datasets, evaluation methods, and experiments for noisy, delayed, and adversarial environments.
- Partner with engineering, product, data science, risk experts, and leading Stripe users to turn modeling improvements into differentiated Radar products.
- Contribute to reusable tools and AI-assisted workflows that help the team develop and operate ML systems more effectively.
- You will own ML problems from conception to production:
- Experience building or operating production ML systems, including one or more of large-scale data and feature pipelines, distributed model training, low-latency inference, model deployment, or production monitoring.
- Ability to communicate technical ideas and results clearly and collaborate effectively across disciplines.
Requirements
- You are a fast, pragmatic problem solver with deep ML expertise and a bias toward action.
- Strong programming and software-engineering skills, with experience writing tested, maintainable code for production ML applications.
- Ability to investigate ambiguous problems, reason from data, and choose pragmatic technical approaches.
- That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
- We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role.
Nice to have
- Experience owning an ML problem across the full lifecycle, from problem framing and data exploration through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
- Experience applying ML to fraud detection, integrity, trust and safety, identity, cybersecurity, or another adversarial domain.
- Active interest in the latest ML developments, and how they can be leveraged to solve business problems.
Benefits
- Improve model architectures, training methods, and production systems to increase model quality, coverage, and adaptability.
- You are excited to work at the frontier of payments and AI - turning advances in machine learning into production systems that address new forms of fraud and abuse.
- The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
- 2+ years of experience developing, evaluating, and deploying machine learning models in a production environment.
- Strong foundations in machine learning, data analysis, statistics, model evaluation, and experiment design.
