What the job involves
- As our first Data Science hire focusing on Machine Learning at Circle, you’ll start by focusing on two critical problems: helping identify transactions and actors who might be acting illicitly and helping us better balance our reserves across a series of accounts to reduce systemic risk inside the company
- These problems are core to our identity as a safe and compliant actor in the crypto space and we are trying to come up with the best methods and techniques possible to solve these problems
- In addition, we would like you to undertake additional research and work to help understand these problems, visualize what we’re doing, as well as sometimes venture into other spaces to help understand how our business works
- While the focus of this job will be machine learning applications, there are times where we need to use data science to solve other problems and machine learning is not the only or optimal option
- Own development, improvement, and maintenance of the two problems described above: helping identify transactions and actors who might be acting illicitly and helping us better balance our reserves across a series of accounts to reduce systemic risk inside the company. You’ll partner with product, treasury, fellow data scientists, and data engineering to understand these problems, help produce the necessary model inputs, build models at the right fidelity and frequency, help push these into production, and monitor the health and success of these models
- Identify and work on other machine learning problems that will be highly valuable to Circle
- When not working on machine learning models, Identify data; define metrics and analyze needs for business partners; Initiate, develop and maintain data pipelines and data models that powers dashboards and data products with outstanding craftsmanship
- Perform deep analyses and build models to understand customer behavior, and extract key insights that impact product decisions
- Perform analyses and build models to understand customer behavior, extracting key insights and communicating to stakeholders to impact product decisions
- Communicate the state of business, experiments results and recommendations to a broad team and senior leadership

Our take
Circle is a financial technology firm looking to enable businesses to harness the power of digital currencies and public blockchains for payments, commerce, and financial applications. The company’s USD Coin (USDC) has become the fastest growing, regulated, and fully reserved dollar digital currency.
The company is backed by the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, as well as crypto exchange company Coinbase, and has been proactively preparing for possible upcoming federal regulations. Regardless of the current crypto downturn, this means that Circle is still well-placed to see steady long-term growth.
