  • Excellent communication skills, ability to simplify machine learning concepts and data analyses for broad audiences.
  • You’ve managed teams that have built and shipped machine learning systems and data products at scale.
  • You work very well cross-functionally, and are able to think rigorously and make hard decisions and tradeoffs.
  • You thrive on a high level of autonomy and responsibility.
  • You foster a healthy, inclusive, challenging, and supportive work environment.
  • Growth mindset, always on the lookout for stretch challenges.
  • Experience dealing with data from complex domains (FinTech, Fraud Detection or Payments Processing are a significant plus)
