Job Description
Lead Data Scientist managing proof of concept projects for fraud prevention and analytics. Collaborating with enterprise customers and developing scalable machine learning solutions.
Responsibilities:
- Lead and develop a team of IC data scientists — set direction, unblock work, run 1:1s, and grow each person's scope and impact
- Own POC/POV delivery — partner directly with enterprise customers to demonstrate fraud-loss reduction and platform ROI, from first data pull through to stakeholder readout
- Stay hands-on in the technical work — build or review ML models, conduct in-depth fraud analyses, and ship production-grade solutions alongside your team
- Define and track performance metrics — design dashboards and reporting frameworks to measure the effectiveness of risk strategies across clients
- Translate client problems into data solutions — act as a senior point of contact for fraud challenges, turning complex findings into clear recommendations
- Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and GTM to scope work, influence the roadmap, and ensure fraud solutions and models get instrumented and scaled correctly
- Drive experimentation — support A/B testing to safely validate new strategies before full rollout
- Raise the bar on craft — mentor IC data scientists on modeling rigor, storytelling with data, and client communication
Requirements:
- 7–10 years of experience in fraud/risk data science and analytics with demonstrated impact in fraud, payments, or fintech
- 2–3 years in a people leadership role (team lead, manager, or tech lead with direct reports) — you've coached data scientists and helped them grow
- Strong hands-on technical skills — Python and SQL are essential; Spark, Kafka, or feature stores are a plus
- Experience delivering POC/POV engagements with measurable customer outcomes
- Proven track record with applied ML in fraud or risk — anomaly detection, classification, and graph analytics in production
- Expertise in BI and dashboarding — Sigma, Tableau, Metabase, or equivalent
- Strong communication and stakeholder management — able to translate complex model outputs for both technical and non-technical audiences, including clients and execs
- Bias toward action and ownership — you don't wait to be unblocked
Benefits:
- Generous compensation in cash and equity
- Early exercise for all options, including pre-vested
- Work from anywhere: Remote-first Culture
- Flexible paid time off and Year-end break
- Health insurance, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents - *US and Canada specific*
- 4% matching in 401k / RRSP - *US and Canada specific*
- MacBook Pro delivered to your door
- One-time stipend to set up a home office — desk, chair, screen, etc.
- Monthly meal stipend
- Monthly social meet-up stipend
- Annual health and wellness stipend
- Annual Learning stipend
