This is a high-impact role at the intersection of machine learning, product, and engineering, where your work will directly shape how Moniepoint detects and responds to emerging fraud threats.

Responsibilities

  • Prototype, evaluate, and help produce machine learning models for fraud detection; own their ongoing monitoring and retraining cycles.
  • Design and run experiments to measure the impact of fraud interventions, balancing customer experience against loss reduction.
  • Size fraud typologies across our product lines to inform prioritization and investment decisions.
  • Build and maintain anomaly detection systems to surface novel fraud vectors before they scale.
  • Work closely with fraud operations, engineers, product managers, and data analysts to translate model outputs into real-world mitigations.
  • Experience & Background
  • A strong foundation in statistics with a degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, or similar).
  • 3+ years of experience in data science, decision science, or risk analytics within fraud, payments, or financial crime.
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning models in a production environment.
  • Fraud, risk, or financial services experience is a strong plus.
