Senior Engineer, Risk Analytics

Job Description

• As a Risk Analytics Engineer, you are the critical bridge between advanced analytics and our production environment. You will be embedded within a cross-functional squad, responsible for the operationalization of risk models and strategies.
• Your primary mission is to ensure that the analytical solutions built by our data scientists and risk analysts—from credit scorecards to real-time fraud models—are deployed, monitored, and managed in a robust, automated, and scalable fashion.
• You will build and own the Machine Learning Operations pipelines and solutions that bring our risk intelligence to life.
• Machine Learning Operations Pipeline Development (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment): Design, build, and maintain automated Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment pipelines to test, validate, and deploy risk models and decisioning logic.
• Model Deployment & Serving: Package (containerize) and deploy Machine Learning models and analytical engines as secure, versioned, and low-latency APIs, creating our "Risk-as-a-Service" capability.
• Production Monitoring: Implement and manage comprehensive monitoring solutions for deployed models, tracking data drift, model performance degradation, and technical health (latency, errors).
• Automation of Strategy: Work with Decisioning Configuration Analysts to automate the deployment and testing of business rules and strategies.
• Collaboration & Enablement: Work side-by-side with Data Scientists to refactor and optimize their code for production. Collaborate with Data Engineers and Platform Engineers to ensure seamless integration and performance.
• Tooling & Best Practices: Champion software engineering best practices within the risk analytics team. Contribute to the evolution of our Machine Learning Operations competency.
