• Own the complete model lifecycle from development through backtesting, shadow deployment, staged rollout, and production performance monitoring
• Scale agentic AI in regulated workflows while maintaining governance frameworks
• Deliver measurable outcomes: lower fraud losses, higher automated alert throughput, and reduced monitoring cost per member
• Build operating models connecting first line operations, second line risk and compliance, payments engineering, and data science leadership
• Apply principles to build once, deploy globally, and isolate market-specific logic

What We're Looking For

• Experience leading engineering organizations in fraud, financial crime, risk, or real-time decisioning domains
• Strong track record turning platform investment into measurable outcomes across fraud detection, mitigation, unit economics reduction, and workflow automation
• Experience taking machine learning from development into production at scale, owning model performance in live environments and enabling fast iteration
• Experience operating in regulated environments, working with second line risk and compliance functions and regulators
• Strong judgment across organization design, delivery, platform strategy, data architecture, and technical quality
• Ability to lead distributed teams across multiple markets and align several functions behind unified roadmaps and priorities
