About the Opportunity

We are looking for a seasoned engineer to build and improve the ML and data infrastructure behind our risk and fraud prevention systems. You will work hands-on to move models from experimentation into reliable production services, improve model execution performance, and develop data pipelines that support training, evaluation, and real-time decisions. You will take ownership of your work, identify improvements proactively, and deliver with limited guidance

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Improve model inference latency, throughput, resource utilization, and cost. Profile the prediction path—from feature retrieval and preprocessing to model execution—and implement measurable improvements while preserving model quality.
  • Build and maintain infrastructure for model packaging, versioning, deployment, serving, monitoring, and rollback across cloud platforms and regions.
  • Develop and optimize offline data pipelines using Databricks, Apache Spark, and warehouse or lakehouse technologies. Address data modeling, partitioning, joins, shuffles, skew, incremental processing, and cost.
  • Work on offline and online feature pipelines, supporting point-in-time correctness, consistent feature definitions, freshness, lineage, and reproducible backfills.
  • Build and maintain reliable feature services and data integrations for risk models and decision systems.
  • Take ownership of projects and operational issues, communicate progress and tradeoffs, and collaborate with ML, data engineering, cloud infrastructure, security, and product teams.
  • Contribute to technical discussions, share knowledge, and help teammates through code reviews and collaboration.
 

What We Look For In You

  • Experience building and operating distributed systems, ML infrastructure, or data platforms, with ownership of meaningful production components.
  • Hands-on experience improving production model performance, such as latency, throughput, resource utilization, or cost.
  • Strong experience with Databricks and Spark, or comparable offline data platforms, including execution plans, distributed query optimization, storage layouts, data correctness, and workload cost management.
  • Experience with the model lifecycle, including training and serving integration, validation, deployment, observability, and rollback.
  • Strong Python and SQL skills, plus proficiency in at least one backend or systems language such as Java, Scala, Go, or C++.
  • Ability to work independently through loosely defined problems, make sound implementation decisions, and deliver maintainable systems with limited guidance.
 

Nice to Haves

  • SageMaker, Alibaba Cloud PAI/EAS, or comparable ML platforms.
  • Inference optimization using tools such as ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, or Triton.
  • Delta Lake, MLflow, feature stores, Kafka, Flink, and low-latency data stores.
  • Fraud detection or financial risk systems.
  • Fluency in Mandarin
 

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package
  • L&D programs for employees' growth and development
  • Various team building programs and company events
  • Wellness and meal allowances
  • Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants
  • More that we love to tell you along the process!
