Job Description
VISA is the leader in the payment industry and has been for a long time, but we are also quickly transitioning into a technology company that is fostering an environment for applying the newest technology to tackle exciting problems in this area. For a payment system to work well, the risk techniques, performance, and scalability are essential. These techniques and systems benefit from big data, data mining, artificial intelligence, Machine Learning, cloud computing, & many other advance technologies. At VISA, we have all of these. If you want to be on the cutting edge of the payment space, learn fast, and make a huge impact, then the Artificial Intelligence Platform team may be an ideal place for you!
Our team needs a Staff Machine Learning Engineer with proven knowledge of web application and web service development who will focus on crafting new capabilities for the AI Platform while maturing our code base and development processes. You are a dedicated developer who can work and collaborate in a multifaceted environment as a valued member of our Agile Scrum teams.
