AI Research Manager - Machine Learning

As AI Research Manager, you will own the operating health and execution of Nu's ML research agenda. This is a dedicated people-management role for a small, high-talent-density team of world-class researchers, partnering closely with senior technical leads who drive the scientific direction. The team works on a portfolio of research bets on a one-to-four-quarter horizon. This work compounds into the production capabilities Nu will depend on. Current and upcoming bets include:

• Next-generation nuFormer architectures: proprietary transformers that learn from raw transaction sequences and power key production credit decisions
• Multitask and multi-target modeling: single models serving many high-impact prediction tasks at once
• Training and inference efficiency: distillation, quantization, sparsity, and parallelism to run state-of-the-art models economically at our scale
