About the role

  • We're looking for a Data Analyst to join Sardine's Fraud Intelligence team.
  • at the intersection of data evaluation, vendor strategy, and fraud detection.
  • You'll be the analytical engine behind how we assess, test, and onboard new third-party data signals and vendor partnerships - determining which data assets actually move the needle on fraud outcomes for our clients.

Responsibilities

  • Build lift analyses, backtests, and champion/challenger comparisons to quantify the incremental value of new data signals against our existing fraud detection stack
  • Collaborate with fraud leadership to define evaluation criteria tied to real fraud outcomes - false positive rates, catch rates, precision/recall tradeoffs
  • Partner with data engineering to define ingestion requirements and ensure test environments reflect production-like conditions
  • Document evaluation results and maintain an internal knowledge base on vendor data performance over time
  • Support ad hoc deep dives into fraud trends, model performance, and client-specific data questions as needed
  • Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to define your own structure in a fast-moving environment

Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience in data analysis, data science, or a related analytical role - ideally in fraud, risk, fintech, or a data-heavy B2B SaaS environment
  • Proficiency in SQL (required) and Python or R for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and visualization
  • Experience working with external or third-party datasets - assessing data quality, match rates, and signal value
  • ability to synthesize complex analysis into clear narratives for non-technical stakeholders
  • Familiarity with fraud signals and data types: device fingerprinting, identity graph data, consortium data, behavioral signals, email/phone intelligence
  • Experience in a vendor evaluation, data partnerships, or procurement-adjacent analytical role
  • Experience working across fintech verticals such as crypto, BNPL, neobanks, or payments
  • If you are seeking a meaningful career, you found the right place, and we would love to hear from you.

  • Annual health and wellness stipend
