  • Build identity-graph systems using GNNs that cluster accounts sharing biometric, device, and document signals to detect synthetic-identity rings and coordinated fraud at onboarding.
  • Develop behavioral and device-intelligence models for capture-session anomaly detection, bot-vs-human classification, and device-fingerprint-based risk scoring at real-time latency.
  • Drive vendor ML strategy by benchmarking external models against a Coinbase-owned evaluation set, designing dynamic routing logic across providers and geographies, and building the in-house evaluation layer that catches regressions before they reach users.
  • Lead and mentor senior and mid-level engineers in the pod while partnering with ML Platform and Risk ML teams to align cross-company ML system design.
Requirements

Required Skills and Experience:

  • 8+ years deploying production ML systems at scale, with proven technical leadership owning cross-team ML architecture from design through production.
  • Domain experience in identity verification, biometrics, or account integrity with deep applied ML in at least two of: computer vision/biometrics, GNNs, sequence models, or NLP/LLMs.
  • Expert-level Python with production experience in TensorFlow or PyTorch, including model training, evaluation, and serving infrastructure.
  • Track record translating KYC/AML requirements and fraud trends into ML roadmaps and communicating trade-offs to Product, Compliance, Risk, and Security stakeholders.
  • Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
Conditions & Benefits

  • Base salary varies by location (see range below). Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility, and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k)).
  • Annual base salary range (excluding equity and bonus): $218,025 — $256,500 USD.
