Requirements
• Strong proficiency in Python and PySpark. • Classification models • Learning-to-Rank • Anomaly Detection • Statistical Modeling • Experience building and maintaining production-grade ML systems at scale. • Familiarity with graph databases and query languages such as NeptuneDB and OpenCypher. • Experience with graph processing frameworks (e.g., GraphFrames). • Experience applying LLMs for evaluation, automation, or signal discovery. • Familiarity with Knowledge Graphs and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). • Leadership & Collaboration • Proven ability to drive cross-functional projects, mentor peers, and influence technical and business outcomes. • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. • Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field. • 5+ years of experience in applied data science, machine learning, or artificial intelligence, with a focus on graph-based modeling and large-scale data systems.
Responsibilities
• Entity Resolution & Graph Evaluation • Lead the evaluation and continuous improvement of entity resolution and entity linking pipelines. • Debug new builds, identify anomalies, and recommend modeling or system-level improvements. • Define, implement, and maintain scalable performance and quality metrics, leveraging automation and LLM-based approaches where appropriate. • Partner with Engineering to optimize entity linking and ranking systems using Learning-to-Rank and related techniques. • Design methods to assess and classify entity confidence and quality across the graph. • Data Quality & Modeling Frameworks • Design and implement a comprehensive data quality framework for graph-based identity data. • Translate abstract quality concepts (e.g., reliability, stability, consistency) into measurable signals. • Use data quality insights to guide modeling decisions, experimentation strategy, and product prioritization. • Identify and operationalize generalized, high-impact predictive signals derived from graph structure, temporal dynamics, and relational patterns. • Develop scalable approaches to link prediction, label propagation, and semi-supervised learning within the ID Graph. • Explore and evaluate advanced graph modeling techniques, including graph-based ML, knowledge graph methods, and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), when appropriate. • Focus on durable abstractions rather than one-off features, ensuring solutions are explainable, compliant, and reusable across multiple products. • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Technical Leadership • Collaborate closely with Engineering, Product Management, Compliance, and downstream product teams. • Act as a technical leader within the Identity organization, influencing modeling standards, experimentation rigor, and best practices. • Translate complex technical findings into clear insights and recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Support the launch of new product capabilities built on top of the ID Graph. • Leadership Competencies • Demonstrate strong ownership, strategic impact, and assertive communication. • Mentor peers, foster a culture of growth, and build authentic relationships across teams. • Embrace feedback, adapt resiliently to challenges, and pursue continual self-improvement.
