Job Description

Senior Data Science Engineer building LLM and classical ML risk-detection systems for LegitScript’s safer internet and payment platform. Owning data pipelines, production deployment, and model business impact.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the full lifecycle from raw data ingestion to model deployment and measuring real-world business impact
  • Research, prototype, and develop ML and LLM-based models for complex business problems, focusing on risk detection and prioritization
  • Wrap models into production-ready APIs and integrate them into the core SaaS product
  • Ensure model outputs are interpretable by translating predictions into actionable reason codes
  • Partner with operational teams to gather feedback, refine features, and improve model relevance
  • Design, build, and maintain scalable pipelines ingesting data from disparate sources into the data warehouse/lake
  • Implement data validation, quality checks, and transformation workflows across raw, curated, and serving layers
  • Build and maintain curated datasets for analytics and model training
  • Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for data workflows and ML model deployment
  • Monitor pipeline latency, data drift, and model performance; design alerting and retraining triggers
  • Define success metrics, track ROI, and iterate models based on real-world efficacy
  • Manage infrastructure as code and containerized deployments for reproducible releases

Requirements:

  • 5–8+ years spanning data engineering and data science/ML, with a demonstrated track record of shipping models to production
  • Strong Python proficiency
  • Experience with Spark/PySpark for large-scale data processing
  • Advanced SQL for complex transformation, analysis, and data modeling
  • Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms such as Databricks or Snowflake
  • Experience with ETL/ELT frameworks — dbt, Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Databricks Autoloader, Informatica, or similar
  • Familiarity with ML experiment tracking tools such as MLflow or Weights & Biases
  • DevOps fluency: Git-based development, branching strategies, CI/CD, IaC (DABs/Terraform), and Docker
  • Experience with orchestration tools such as Databricks Workflows or Apache Airflow
  • Strong plus: hands-on experience with LLMs and Generative AI techniques in a production context (prompt engineering, RAG architectures, fine-tuning, or evaluation frameworks)
  • Strong plus: experience building or operating ML platforms, feature stores, or model registries
  • Strong plus: prior work in risk, compliance, fraud detection, or other high-stakes ML domains
  • Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
  • International remote work is not supported

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation
