- Design, build and deploy ML models for various applications, such as document and image processing, fraud detection.
- Develop and implement robust data pipelines at a variety of scales, including collection, pre-processing, transformation, and feature engineering
- Partner with product and other stakeholders to uncover requirements, to innovate, and to solve complex problems
- Have a strong sense of ownership, responsible for architectural decision-making and striving for continuous improvement in technology and processes at CLEAR
What you're great at:
- 3+ years of experience building, operating and scaling ML models for consumer applications, particularly those with experience building end-to-end systems

- Expertise in best practices for feature engineering, model development/deployment and monitoring
- Articulating technical concepts to a mixed audience of technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Collaborating and mentoring less experienced members of the team
- Comfort with ambiguity
- Curiosity about technology, believe in constant learning, and ability to be autonomous to figure out what's important
How You'll be Rewarded:
At CLEAR we help YOU move forward - because when you’re at your best, we’re at our best. You’ll work with talented team members who are motivated by our mission of making experiences safer and easier. In our offices, you’ll enjoy benefits like meals and snacks.
