• Research and experiment with the latest detection frameworks in cyber security and fraud, statistical techniques, and ML tooling.
• Support the growth of best practices and Data Science standards in detection and modeling.
• Lead large scale projects and drive change that impacts not just yourself, but the Data Scientists and analysts around you and across our Business Units.

Who you are:

• You have experience solving large-scale,  data-intensive problems in production systems (we process trillions of events per day, so literacy with large datasets is a must!).
• You can explain the nuances of different statistical modeling approaches and make informed decisions on which to use, whilst also having the engineering awareness of the realities of shipping working code to customers.
• You have the ability to think 3 steps in designing a data driven product, bring clarity to problems with ambiguity, and bring simplicity to problems with complexity.
• You are proficient with Python and SQL and familiar with related tools, libraries and platforms.  You are fluent in Object Oriented development and have strong debugging skills.
• You have a good sense of ownership which drives you to find ways to do things better, faster, and leaner; you hold yourself accountable for the quality and accuracy of your work.
• You have experience working on cross-functional projects, with multiple stakeholders - both technical and non-technical; and following SDLC best practices: project management, version control, unit testing, and CI/CD.
