About the role

These systems assess the risk of every transaction and customer interaction, while minimizing the impact on user experience and customer trust.
Fraud is one of the hardest applied machine learning problems: an adversary who adapts to every model we ship, extreme class imbalance, labels that arrive late or not at all, and outcomes we only observe for the transactions we approve.
Making progress here takes both strong engineering and scientific rigor.

Design rigorous offline and online evaluation methodologies that account for extreme class imbalance, delayed and censored labels, selective labeling bias, and adversarial drift
Raise the team's scientific bar through experiment design reviews, model deep-dives, mentoring, and bringing relevant external research into the team's practice
Collaborate with data scientists, risk operations, and business stakeholders to identify emerging fraud patterns and translate them into modeling opportunities
This creates a consistent, meaningful overlap that supports team norms and business needs.
