Job Description:
Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so
more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square
started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible)
for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card
payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit
card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business
toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square
Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We're working
to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own
terms-and we're looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow
at Square. Job Description As a Machine Learning Engineer within
the Risk Machine Learning team, you will lead projects that enable
a software driven, machine learning centric view on all money
movement and every transaction within the rapidly growing Square
seller ecosystem. This touches on actively maximizing the trade off
of revenue growth and risk using artificial intelligence. The
machine learning driven software that we release interacts with
every transaction and money movement within our seller ecosystem -
a profound degree of scale and impact. Such machine learning
techniques touch on reinforcement learning, decision theory, deep
learning sequence modeling, and optimization theory. In addition,
we also strive to provide our sellers, through seller facing
products, with transparency around why our machine learning made a
particular decision. This touches on algorithms in the relatively
new space of explainable artificial intelligence.
-
Our algorithms derive value from our unique and rich data from our
entire product portfolio within our rapidly growing seller
ecosystem. We partner with business, product, operations and
engineering teams to drive optimal decision making systems using
sophisticated modeling and machine learning. We're a passionate
team of entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers who are shipping
machine learning software that actively actively manages Square's
view on each transaction as it pertains to our revenue growth and
risk. You Will Lead and drive cross functional machine learning
projects from beginning to end: build relationships with partner
teams, frame and structure questions, collect and analyze data,
research, prototype, and build out machine learning pipelines, and
runtime services of models in production. - Collaborate with
business leaders, subject matter experts, and decision makers to
develop success criteria and optimize new products, features,
policies, and models Build a strategy of how various machine
learning driven solutions come together against a team and
technical product strategy. Qualifications You Have 5+ years
industry experience in software engineering or machine
learning-focused roles. An advanced degree (M.S., PhD.), preferably
in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Physics,
Mathematics or a related technical field. A strong track record of
performing machine learning model development using Python (numpy,
tensorflow, pytorch, scikit-learn, etc.) and SQL/NoSQL interaction
patterns. Familiarity with Linux/OS X command line, version control
software (git), and general software development principles with a
machine learning software development life-cycle orientation.
Knowledge of modern techniques in machine learning and deep
learning, e.g., transformer network architectures, with an
orientation to maximizing such algorithms in a large scale
production setting. Reinforcement learning experience is a plus for
developing optimal control policies Machine learning strategic
sequencing of methodological and software improvements to work back
from maximizing core metrics associated with optimizing the
business. The ability to clearly communicate complex results to
technical and non-technical audiences. Additional Information At
