## About the role

Payabli is looking for a Staff Machine Learning Engineer to set the technical direction for ML at Payabli. A few models are already live and driving real decisions: reducing time-to-clear for risk reviews and scoring transactions and merchants. But that's the starting line, not the destination. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of ML engineering experience, with 4+ years building and shipping production models that drive real business decisions
- A track record of owning modeling architecture and seeing big, hard-to-reverse decisions through to production
- Breadth across model types and problem framing. You can stand up a new model in an unfamiliar domain, not just optimize an existing one
- Proven experience taking models from prototype to production and owning them post-launch (monitoring, retraining, incident response)
- Deep grasp of modeling tradeoffs: precision/recall vs. operational cost, explainability, latency, and regulatory/compliance considerations
