About the role

As a Senior Analyst on the Risk Analytics team, you will be the analytical engine behind our fraud prevention strategy. You will build models, run experiments, and develop tools that help us make smarter, faster decisions, reducing reliance on external black boxes and static rules. You will work closely with the Manager, Risk Analytics, owning the technical and statistical work that turns strategy into something measurable and executable.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of experience in fraud analytics, risk, fintech, or a quantitatively demanding analytical role
  • Strong Python skills, you build end-to-end analyses and pipelines independently, and are proficient with pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels, or equivalent libraries
  • Strong SQL, you can own complex data pulls, understand warehouse structures, and build views and models that others rely on
  • Solid statistical grounding: you can design statistically valid experiments, perform significance testing, assess model calibration, and communicate findings clearly to a non-technical audience
  • Hands-on experience building, training, and validating classification models independently, familiarity with model evaluation methods, handling class imbalance, and translating model outputs into business decisions
  • Genuine enthusiasm for AI tools: you actively use LLMs and code generation in your day-to-day work, think about how to design AI-assisted workflows, and take initiative in identifying where AI can replace manual effort
