Machine Learning Engineer, Launch Graduate Program 2025 - Singapore Mastercard works to connect and power a sustainable and inclusive global economy. We are a vehicle for commerce, a connection to financial systems for the previously excluded, a technology innovation lab, and the home of Priceless®. We ensure every employee has an opportunity to be a part of something bigger and to change lives. We believe in connecting everyone to endless, priceless possibilities.

Overview:
As a Machine Learning Engineer of the Data Science & Engineering team, you will develop analytical products and solutions that sit atop vast datasets gathered by retail stores, restaurants, banks, and other consumer-focused companies. The challenge will be to create high-performance algorithms built on data sets measured in the billions of transactions that allow our users to derive insights from big data that in turn drive their businesses with a keen eye for data privacy and governance.

Role:

• Build, productionize and maintain data driver AI/ML application and data processing workflows or pipelines
• Consult with clients/ stakeholders to understand and translate their needs into a data analyses and/or solution, ensuring that their requirements are accurately captured and technically feasible
• Liaise with internal stakeholders (e.g., MA TECH, Data Strategy Management, AI governance) to identify and elaborate on opportunities as they relate to analytical solution development, feasibility, and other technical offerings
• Identify and recommend opportunities to standardize and automate efforts to ensure quality and enable scaling of ML products
• Meet project deadlines for accountable deliverables and anticipates delays or foreseeable barriers to progress and escalates issues when necessary
• Conduct due diligence quality assurance testing for prototypes and tools in stage and resolves reoccurring complex issues and bugs
• Ensure that all machine learning processes, from data preparation to model deployment, are well-documented for internal use and compliance.
