    • AI and ML Integration tools like MLflow, Feast, ONNX, Apache Beam
  • You're comfortable working with noisy, dirty, and unstructured data to cleanse, scrape and convert it into structured data
  • A high degree of initiative and ownership, combined with the ability to navigate ambiguity and adapt quickly to change.
  • Exceptional ability to structure problems and identify the most critical issues to prioritize.
  • Ability to communicate complex ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences, verbally and in writing.
  • Experience working collaboratively in a cross-functional environment with a diverse group of people at all levels in an organization
  • Passion for building a safer financial system for billions of people.
