Machine Learning Engineer

Position: ML engineer

Location: Mountain View, CA (Onsite)

Remote / WFO / Hybrid: Onsite

Hire Type (FTE/Contract): Contract 

What you'll do

• Build feature pipelines on EMR Serverless Spark and Event streaming that turn lake data into versioned, point-in-time-correct behavioral features per user and per identity.
• Own feature management: feature definitions, registry, backfills, freshness and drift monitoring, and making sure training and inference read the same features.
• Train and evaluate models for insider-risk scoring and anomaly detection: data prep, labeling with the analyst team, experiment tracking, and evaluation on precision, recall and alert volume.
• Deploy and serve models on the Intuit ML Platform: batch inference for the daily composite score, real-time inference through MXS (Model Execution Service) and MSaaS, and LLM-based enrichment through LXS (LLM Execution Service).
• Keep scores explainable: per-feature contributions and evidence links that an analyst can follow back to source events.
• Run the ML lifecycle: retraining schedules, model versioning, shadow and A/B rollout against the rule-based score, monitoring, runbooks and on-call.
• Work with the data engineering and analytics teams to move the application from weighted rules to ML scoring across FY27, including non-human identity (NHI) scoring.

Must-have skills

• Production data pipelines: built and operated batch and streaming pipelines with Spark/PySpark and Kafka. 
• ML training: trained, evaluated and shipped models to production (gradient boosting, anomaly detection, sequence or graph models), with sound evaluation and attention to label quality.
• Feature management: designed and run feature stores or feature pipelines, including point-in-time joins, feature versioning, training/serving consistency and backfills.
• Model serving and MLOps: deployed models behind batch and real-time inference, with CI/CD, model registry, monitoring and rollback.
• Python as primary language (production services, PySpark, pytest), plus strong SQL and data modeling on Iceberg/Hive tables with Athena or Databricks.

Data analysis: profiling messy telemetry, checking signal quality, and validating score distributions against expectations
