Description We are a well-funded, early-stage startup on a mission to guide the world's money. Machine learning sits at the core of our product — powering the cash flow forecasting engine that our customers rely on every day. To accelerate this, we are hiring a Senior ML Engineer to own and evolve our forecasting platform from day one.

Are you passionate about building ML systems that operate at production scale? Do you thrive in high-growth environments where you can shape both the models and the infrastructure around them? Do you want to define how machine learning transforms cash flow forecasting for modern treasury teams? Then we'd love to hear from you.

About Palm At Palm, data is at the foundation of everything we do. We're building a sophisticated application that helps enterprises make smarter financial decisions. You will get the opportunity to own the ML engine at the heart of our product — a per-customer forecasting system built on AutoGluon, with foundation model finetuning, custom evaluation metrics, and anomaly detection. This role is your chance to take ownership of a mature, production ML system and push it to the next level as we scale from being a challenger in the market to a leader in the enterprise treasury space.

This role isn't about building models from scratch in a notebook — it's about deeply understanding a sophisticated production system, improving it, and ensuring forecast quality for every customer. You'll work directly with our leadership team to define our ML strategy, push model accuracy, and build the infrastructure that keeps our forecasting engine reliable.

We are defined by our values:

• Speak with Courage: We make pragmatic technical decisions and own the outcomes.
• Lead with Curiosity: We explore new ML techniques and technologies to stay ahead.
• Work with Heart: We embrace the complexity of financial data and turn it into clarity.

You'll be working side by side with product, AI engineers, and customer operations, with a clear path to technical leadership as we scale.

How will you make an impact?

• Own and evolve our forecasting pipeline built on AutoGluon, including per-customer model training, ensemble selection, and prediction generation.
• Push forecast accuracy through feature engineering — designing and refining covariates for calendar patterns, cross-series signals, payment cycles, and balance anchors.
• Be at the forefront of using AI-assisted workflows.

Where we work Palm is a remote-first company, with team members across multiple locations. We value flexibility and believe the best work often happens outside the office.

That said, this is a core technical role . To build our ML platform collaboratively and support each other in a high-growth environment, we'll have regular in-person sessions with the engineering team and founders. We'll work together to determine the right cadence that supports both flexibility and collaboration.

Our wish list Must-haves

Nice-to-haves

• Domain knowledge in fintech, financial data, or banking systems (cash flow patterns, payment cycles, treasury operations).
• Experience with AutoML frameworks for time series.
• Experience with Airflow or similar orchestration tools for ML pipelines.
• Experience with dbt for data transformations.
• Experience with Go.
• Prior experience in a rapid-growth scale-up/startup environment.
