- Analyze large-scale behavioral and transactional datasets to identify patterns, anomalies, and emerging fraud trends
- Design and run experiments to evaluate, compare, and improve model performance
- Partner with engineering to deploy models into production and ensure they are reliable, observable, and performant at scale
- Monitor live models for drift and degradation, and lead retraining and improvement cycles
- Collaborate with product and risk teams to translate business problems into modeling solutions
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in data science, with exposure to FinTech or financial services preferred
- Strong expertise in Python and SQL, and hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as scikitlearn, XGBoost, PyTorch, or TensorFlow
- Solid foundation in classical machine learning, statistical modeling, and experiment design
- Experience taking models from notebook to production, including monitoring and iteration
- Ability to communicate complex findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
- High-ownership role in a fast-growing AI startup
