Senior Software Engineer, Machine Learning

Current is a leading consumer fintech platform transforming financial access for everyday Americans with over 5 million members. We provide access to financial solutions that seamlessly work together to solve the needs of our members and enable all Americans to build better financial futures. Based in NYC, our results-driven environment drives us to build better products, grow faster and empower everyone on our team to have an impact on our business and mission to improve financial outcomes.

We work across a broad set of domains, including user-facing products like liquidity offerings and reward programs, infrastructure for machine learning and experimentation, real-time fraud detection and identity protection, and large-scale transaction processing across multiple payment rails.

The Machine Learning (ML) Engineering function at Current is dedicated to delivering robust, scalable, and production-ready ML solutions that power our core banking products. ML engineers manage the full lifecycle of ML model development, from design and training to deployment and maintenance, while ensuring seamless integration into production use cases. They bring deep experience in distributed systems engineering, enabling the design of resilient, high-performance infrastructure. They also build and maintain monitoring systems for production deployments, supporting real-time operations, governance, and continuous improvement to deliver measurable business value at scale.

With data-driven products at the heart of Current’s strategy, the need for reliable, responsive, and production-grade ML solutions has never been higher. ML engineering ensures that the models shaping our liquidity offerings, member safety, and efficient operations are not just innovative but operationally robust and fully aligned with business objectives.
