Job Description
Staff ML Risk Analytics
Coinbase
• Define the ML data and feature strategy for fraud detection, determining what data needs to enter our systems so our models can take intelligent, high-accuracy action on a small fraction of traffic where intervention matters most. • Own the end-to-end feature engineering pipeline identifying, building, validating and promoting features that drive measurable improvements in ATO and scam ML performance. • Diagnose gaps between current tooling infrastructure and the solutions needed, and drive the roadmap to close them leveraging your understanding of how the industry has evolved to make the right architectural calls. • Partner with Machine Learning Engineers to translate analytical insights into production-ready ML systems, ensuring models are instrumented, monitored, and continuously improved. • Set technical direction for the ML Analytics function within Growth & Risk, mentoring junior team members who need a senior practitioner to define the approach and translate direction into execution. • Partner cross-functionally with Product Managers and Risk analysts to surface fraud signals and translate ML findings into business-impacting decisions. • Serve as the team's institutional knowledge resource on ML industry evolution — helping the organization understand why certain solutions work, what historical architectural decisions mean for current tooling, and where the industry is headed next.

- A curated, high-precision approach to ML problems: you understand that in fraud and risk, you are optimizing for sensitivity and accuracy on a small fraction of high-stakes traffic not the broad-coverage, high-volume approach used in growth or ads.
