Description

  • Architect and build systems that power fraud prevention and abuse mitigation across the Afterpay lending lifecycle.
  • Shape lending decision frameworks using advanced analytics, automation, and modeling to improve precision, adaptability, and speed.
  • Analyze large, complex datasets to surface insights that influence underwriting strategy, ecosystem safeguards, and product direction.
  • Lead signal discovery and deep experimentation to identify evolving risk patterns and inform next‑generation decision systems.
  • Build agentic features for operations teams that surface emerging fraud vectors, adapt to changing patterns, and enable faster, more precise decision‑making at scale.
  • Design and implement agentic engineering workflows that accelerate development, testing, and documentation.
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally with Product, Engineering, and Operations to design systems and features that enhance trust and portfolio health.
  • Share modeling context and approaches across teams to align how fraud risk is measured, interpreted, and discussed.
  • Mentor and elevate fellow scientists and modelers, contributing to modeling standards, best practices, and technical excellence across the team.
  • Exercise high autonomy and ownership, driving solutions from problem framing and design through deployment and iteration.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field required (e.g., Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science); advanced degrees preferred.
  • 10+ years of experience in fraud, risk, credit underwriting, or another high‑stakes decisioning domain.
  • Deep expertise in machine learning methods, statistical modeling, and advanced analytical techniques.
  • Strong experimentation skills, including designing holdouts, measuring lift, and evaluating models beyond aggregate metrics.
  • Experience designing automated validation and testing frameworks for models and decision logic.
  • Proficiency with AI‑native development workflows and tools, including LLMs, agentic coding tools, and AI‑assisted automation.
  • Experience explaining modeling concepts, results, and limitations to senior stakeholders and cross‑functional partners.
  • Experience working across disciplines in environments with meaningful constraints.
  • Familiarity with the tech stack and tooling used: Python (NumPy, Pandas, scikit‑learn, PyTorch, XGBoost, LightGBM), MLflow, internal feature store and model hosting platforms, Prefect/Airflow, SQL/Snowflake, GitHub, and GCP/AWS.

Benefits

  • Salary range (Zone A–D): $276,800 — $415,200 USD (location‑dependent).
  • Fully remote role for candidates based in the US or Canada / flexible remote‑first work environment.
  • Medical insurance / health coverage.
  • Flexible time off (PTO) and modern flexible work arrangements.
  • Retirement savings plans.
  • Modern family planning benefits.
  • Inclusive interview experience with reasonable accommodations for disabled applicants.
