About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of hands-on experience in Data Science or machine learning, focused on designing and building new machine-learning models from scratch and delivering them into production with measurable business impact.
  • B2+ English proficiency, with fluent written and spoken communication for technical discussions and daily collaboration.
  • Deep understanding of statistics, probability, and validation methodologies, with practical experience handling class imbalance, model calibration, and anomaly detection.
  • Advanced Python proficiency, including Scikit-learn, Pandas, and NumPy.
  • Hands-on experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Ability to write complex SQL queries and manipulate large-scale data.
  • Experience with experiment tracking and model lifecycle management tools such as MLflow or ClearML.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build new models from the ground up, including gradient boosting, neural networks, ensembles, and anomaly detection, for anti-fraud, risk assessment, and personalization; maintain rigorous validation practices to prevent data leakage and overfitting.
  • Partner with Data Engineering and MLOps to operationalize models in production for batch and real-time or low-latency use; build training, experiment-tracking, and model/data-drift monitoring pipelines.
  • Design A/B tests and statistical evaluations to measure model performance against business metrics including reduced fraud losses, transaction acceptance rates, and decision latency.
  • Explore emerging techniques, including large language models, generative AI, and graph-based methods; establish engineering best practices and mentor fellow team members.
  • Own the full modeling lifecycle, from problem framing through production monitoring.

Desired Qualifications

  • Domain experience in FinTech, payments, or fraud prevention, including real-time transaction scoring and low-latency inference.
  • Experience with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, feature stores, and event-driven architectures.
  • Background in time-series forecasting, graph neural networks, Explainable AI, or applied large language model solutions.
  • Master’s degree or Ph.D. in a quantitative discipline.
