## About the role

We're looking for a data-driven professional to help us measure, understand, and improve the performance of our risk strategies — and to stay ahead of evolving fraud threats by designing and deploying data-driven solutions with real-world impact. You'll work directly with clients to understand their unique fraud challenges, rapidly prototype proof-of-concept models, and build scalable, production-ready solutions using machine learning and graph analytics.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of experience in data science, quantitative modeling, or a data-focused role (product analytics, business analytics) with demonstrated high impact in fraud or risk contexts
- Strong hands-on experience with Python/R and SQL is essential, with Spark being a nice to have
- Expertise in BI tools such as Tableau, Sigma, or Metabase
- Proven ability to structure and analyze complex data using techniques like EDA and cohort analysis, and communicate findings effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences, including clients
- Sharp critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills with a bias toward action
- Proficiency in defining, tracking, and communicating performance metrics
