About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Investigate large datasets through exploratory analysis and fraud label development
  • Identify fraud patterns, attack methods, and behavioral signals
  • Translate fraud and risk problems into hypotheses, analytical plans, model requirements, and measurable success criteria
  • Develop machine learning models for account opening, account takeover, and identity risk fraud detection
  • Evaluate models using ROC/AUC/KS/Gini, precision/recall, fraud capture rate, false-positive rate, customer friction, and fraud losses prevented
  • Develop and validate predictive features using identity, transactional, consumer credit history, device, behavioral, temporal, velocity, network, and third-party data
  • Write clean, efficient, well-tested Python and PySpark code
  • Collaborate with teams to deploy models and features into batch, retro, or real-time decisioning environments
  • Monitor feature quality, model performance, population changes, and fraud-pattern drift
  • Design and present analyses covering model behavior, tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations
  • Follow standards for data privacy, model documentation, explainability, validation, and governance
  • Report to the Senior Manager of Fraud Analytics

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • At least 3 years of experience in data science, machine learning, statistical modeling, or a related quantitative field

  • Demonstrated experience creating meaningful fraud features
  • Proficiency in Python and PySpark
  • Experience writing modular and tested code for large datasets and distributed or cloud data systems
  • Experience with pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, or comparable technologies
  • Knowledge of supervised learning, model evaluation, feature selection, statistical inference, experimentation, and model calibration
  • Experience handling class imbalance, delayed or incomplete labels, changing attack patterns, and model drift
  • Experience moving models into production, directly or in close partnership with engineering teams
