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.
