Quick Overview
Job Description
About OnePay
OnePay is the consumer fintech trusted by millions of Americans to make money better.
Our financial system is broken. High fees, low rates, and too few ways to actually grow your money. We’re fixing it. And we’re moving fast.
We’re an all-in-one financial services platform that brings together banking, high-yield savings, credit cards, point-of-sale lending, investing, and crypto in one place. We also partner with employers, HCM providers, gig platforms, and others to deliver embedded financial services to millions of employees and frontline workers.
We’re backed by Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, and Ribbit Capital, one of fintech’s most respected investors, giving us rare scale, distribution, and the opportunity to build something truly category-defining.
But what really sets OnePay apart is how we move. Our customers don’t have time to wait… and neither do we. This place moves fast, and we’re looking for people who are:
Ready to run
Hungry and driven by urgency
Exceptional at what they do, with low ego
Comfortable operating in motion
The Role

Develop personalization and recommendation systems that deliver dynamic, user-centric experiences across our product offerings.
Design and optimize search and retrieval systems to improve discoverability, relevance, and user satisfaction.
You Bring
7+ years of experience building and productionizing ML/AI models that deliver measurable business impact.
Experience building and productionizing LLM-powered applications, agentic systems, and traditional ML (ranking, recommendations, personalization).
A strong technical background with a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
Fluency in collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Analytics teams to bring AI solutions from ideation to deployment.
Drive and proactivity – everyone here is a builder and executor.
