Our team is growing, and we’re ready to bring in a passionate Senior Machine Learning Platform Engineer to our Engineering organization. This is a senior individual contributor role focused on machine learning infrastructure.
You’ll lead technical efforts on the platform and systems that allow machine learning models to be deployed, operated, and trusted in real-world, member-facing environments.

The infrastructure you design and maintain enables machine learning to operate reliably at scale—powering decisions that directly affect how millions of members access fair, fast financial tools. Your work ensures ML at Dave is production-ready, observable, and resilient.
You think in systems and long-term trade-offs. You anticipate failure modes, design for scale, and care deeply about reliability in production. You’re comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and explaining the rationale behind them.
You elevate the engineers around you through clear communication, mentorship, and strong technical judgment. You collaborate effectively across functions, seek to understand the “why” behind priorities, and adapt as the business evolves.
Significant technical ownership on shared infrastructure used across the company. You’ll influence architecture, set standards, and remain deeply hands-on. The work is complex, impactful, and visible—and it rewards engineers who care about building platforms that last.

Anywhere in the United States except Hawaii. Dave is a fully virtual company with flexible hours, so you choose where in the U.S. you are based rather than relocating to an office.
No. Dave does not differentiate pay based on work location, so you receive the same competitive pay wherever in the U.S. you are based. Its job postings publish salary bands, for example roughly $150K to $200K for senior product manager roles and $174K to $224K for a lead machine learning scientist, each plus equity or commission.
Dave lists flexible paid time off that includes Juneteenth and a winter break, a 401(k) with company match, free financial advising, generous parental and caregiver leave, comprehensive health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance, and a home office stipend.
Dave brings teams together one to two times per year and runs team offsites, so most collaboration happens virtually with periodic in-person gatherings rather than a regular office commute.
Hiring skews technical. Engineering is the largest function, followed by operations, with active openings across machine learning, software engineering, data analysis, product management, and IT systems. It is a strong fit for people who want ownership and visible impact at a growing fintech and are comfortable with shifting priorities.
