Job Responsibilities
- You will have the rare opportunity to build on top + further enhance a modern ML/Data stack using data powered by emerging NBU (Next Billion Users) in Africa.
- The role involves taking data in its rawest form and productionizing solutions using it across the board: from exploratory analysis…to feature engineering…to building and evaluating models over this data… to integrating into Chipper’s products …to building new tooling for our core teams… and more.
- In addition to Product, you will also be collaborating with other units in our team, including: Compliance for deeper understanding of risk and fraud, Growth to help find bottlenecks in the on-boarding flow and track the growth of the app through various regional networks, Accounting to scope different financial reporting tasks, and Operations to provide a clear view into the movements of funds through the systems.
- Architect end-to-end machine learning flows: imagine new feature ideas and design data pipelines ****to create new models, improve existing ones and deploy them. You will also be expected to keep up-to-date with the latest fraud-detection research. Example: performing Naive Bayes for fake name detection to use as a signal into our user risk model.
- Embed delightful and proactive experiences in our app by collaborating with Product. Example: craft suggestion chips using NLP techniques to help pre-populate payment notes for users in the Chipper app.
- Build smart tooling to empower different teams to help them make better decisions. Example: Creating a GPT-3 powered ‘analyst’ Slackbot to make data accessible throughout the team. (Yes, we have beta access!)
- Create smart reporting/alerting mechanisms to help out our operational teams and keep a tight grip on data integrity. Example: Develop an internal Retool dashboard that allows operation folks to keep track of users with inconsistent wallet balances.
