  • Create human-in-the-loop systems that continuously refine detection accuracy and adapt to evolving adversarial tactics
  • Perform deep behavioral and adversarial data analysis to surface emerging fraud trends and drive continuous system improvement
  • Stay ahead of the curve by translating new insights into adaptive, production-ready systems

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Economics, or a related technical field
  • 4+ years of software engineering experience building systems for consumer-scale traffic and reliability
  • 1+ years writing production-grade Python code and working with ML libraries (e.g. PyTorch, LightGBM)
  • 1+ years of experience in machine learning or fraud prevention domains
  • Deep business intuition and a data-driven mindset
  • Fluency with data tooling, including data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake) and transformation frameworks (e.g. dbt, Dagster)
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to lead initiatives across product areas
  • Experience working in a remote-first environment and producing well-tested, reproducible work
