About the Role

We\'re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to design and build scalable ML models that power critical treasury decisions. You will focus on leveraging advanced algorithms—from real-time currency-exposure forecasting to automated hedging strategies—to improve Remitly\'s overall risk management and liquidity planning. This role is based in London reporting to the Head of Treasury Analytics and Data Science, and involves collaboration across global teams, requiring strong communication and coordination skills.

You Will

• Develop, deploy, and monitor ML models that forecast FX exposure, optimise hedging, and improve liquidity planning.
• Build predictive cash-flow models and scenario simulations to inform funding strategies.
• Enhance our analytics platform with automation, feature-store design, and CI/CD best practices.
• Own model governance: validation, A/B testing, drift detection, and documentation that meets audit requirements.
• Translate business questions into well-scoped technical tasks and clearly communicate results to stakeholders, including senior leadership.

You Have

• Bachelor\'s or Master\'s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in ML Engineering or Data Science (finance, fintech, or treasury a plus).
• Proficiency in Python—including pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/PyTorch, LightGBM/XGBoost—and experience with SQL.
• Hands-on experience with cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, or Google AI Platform).
• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals: version control, code reviews, automated testing, and containerization.
• Familiarity with FX markets, risk management concepts, or financial forecasting.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to explain technical ideas to non-technical audiences.
• Experience with real-time data pipelines, event-driven architectures (Kafka/Kinesis), or modern data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery) is a plus.

Our Benefits

• Paid Vacation Days
• Health insurance
• Commuter benefit
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
