Senior Data Scientist

The Data Science team builds production machine learning models that are the core of Signifyd's product.

Our product helps businesses of all sizes minimize their fraud exposure and grow their sales. This translates into improved e-commerce shopping experience for individuals, by reducing the number of orders that are incorrectly declined, and by making account hijacking less profitable for criminals.

The data science team has end-to-end ownership of our decision engine, from research and development to online performance and risk management.

We value collaboration and team ownership -- no one should feel they're solving a hard problem alone.

Together we help each other grow our skills through peer reviews, group studies, and frequent knowledge sharing to deepen our ML and stats understanding. This is done through live demos, write-ups, and special cross-team projects.

The Data Science and Engineering teams at Signifyd have always had a strong contingent of remote folks, individual contributors and team leads. The challenges of working remotely aren't new to us and we strive to iteratively improve our remote culture.

We are looking for someone who embodies our company values :

Curious and Hungry: Be willing to do research and design experiments by being hands-on

Tenacious: Creating something new is hard work, and our Data Scientist team never gives up

Customer Passion: Be the backbone to our platform, and help us stay ahead of fraudsters

Design for Scale: Work with the rest of the Data Science team to make fraud protection at scale possible

Agile: Some days you may spend doing research and designing experiments while others are spent using your analytical toolbox to surface insights into real-time fraud attacks.

Roll Up Your Sleeves: Partner closely internally to learn from others, and succeed as a team
