Overview

Analyze third-party and consortium fraud intelligence datasets to evaluate their real contribution to financial-crime detection. Build structured signal-quality reviews, historical tests and comparison studies for identity and payment risk models, then communicate evidence-based recommendations to fraud, product and data engineering teams.

Requirements

  • Three to five years of experience in data analysis, data science or a related analytical role, preferably in fraud, risk, fintech or data-intensive B2B software.
  • Strong SQL skills are required, together with Python or R for statistical data manipulation, analysis and visualization.
  • Understanding of precision/recall, AUC/ROC, lift, population distributions, A/B-testing fundamentals and false-positive tradeoffs.
  • Experience evaluating third-party or external datasets for completeness, freshness, match rates, coverage and signal value.
  • Ability to design lift studies, backtests and champion-versus-challenger evaluations of detection signals.
  • Strong written and spoken communication translating analytical findings for nontechnical stakeholders.
  • Comfort defining evaluation methodology independently in ambiguous environments.
  • Specific device identity, consortium or behavioural fraud datasets, vendor-evaluation experience, machine learning and fintech vertical familiarity are advantageous, not mandatory.

Responsibilities

  • Design and run evaluation frameworks for external fraud and identity data assets.
  • Measure incremental signal value through lift analyses, backtests and comparison tests.
  • Profile data quality, coverage, match rates and fraud-signal freshness.
  • Recommend adoption, pilot testing, deprioritization or rejection of new data signals based on quantified results.
  • Coordinate ingestion and production-representative test data with data engineers.
  • Maintain reproducible reporting and historical vendor-signal performance documentation.
  • Support fraud investigations and risk-model performance analysis when needed.

Conditions

  • Full-time, fully remote role based in the United States or Canada.
