Staff Software Engineer (Machine Learning)
Company: Current
Location: New York, NY
Type: Full-time
Posted: 2026-10-02
About this role
- Owning technical direction for the ML stack end to end: feature definition and computation, training data generation, training infrastructure, model serving, and production monitoring, along with the contracts between them
- Building tooling for training/serving consistency across analytics, batch computation, and live serving, accounting for differences in data sources and timing
- Designing how every deployed model stays linked to its dataset, feature versions, labels, and training code, to the standard model risk management expects
- Enabling data scientists to generate reproducible, point-in-time-correct datasets and run standard validation without an engineering ticket
- Setting the working contracts between the groups that build, consume, and govern models, and keeping the stack legible to people who don’t read the code
- Measuring delivery time, engineering effort, and rework, and using that evidence to prioritize improvements
- In your first year:
- Establishing a delivery baseline and proving the workflow on one production model with versioned features, a reproducible dataset, and reusable validation
- Extending those capabilities to additional models and measuring adoption and improvement against the baseline
- Standardizing model monitoring and defining production-readiness gates with Data Science, Risk, and service owners
- Evaluating build-versus-buy options for ML platform tooling against real production requirements
- Partnering daily with engineers across our squads and with data scientists and analysts, and regularly with Risk, Marketing, and Finance, who own the decisions our models support
