This is an excellent opportunity for a Data Scientist who thrives when they're able to communicate a data story to an audience (tech and non-tech), and who is not satisfied only working behind the scenes.

  • Create convincing data stories to showcase how we can help our customers eliminate identity fraud, streamline their end-user experience, and support their risk management efforts holistically
  • Provide thought leadership and be the customer's voice for building the next generation of Socure's core models and product
  • Create tools and automated workflows to improve the speed, accuracy, and reproducibility of our analysis
  • Partner closely with GTM teams (Sales, Solution Consultants, Account Managers and Technical Account Managers) to derive creative ways of analysis and identify opportunities for upsell and product optimization
  • Build ML models when it is advantageous to explore different approaches over the established models in production

Qualifications:
  • You have a degree in a quantitative field, or equivalent work experience - advanced degree is preferred.
  • You have 2+ years experience in data science, data analysis, or analytics engineering
  • You have extensive theoretical and practical understanding of state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods
  • You know how to write clean, performant code in Python, and have 2+ years experience working with massive real-life datasets
  • You have experience querying relational databases with SQL
  • You have experience working with cloud tools and technologies in AWS, Azure, Databricks, or GCP
  • You know how to tell compelling stories with data (dashboarding, building interactive data stories and actionable presentations)
  • You are able to explain very complex algorithms such as ML/AI models, and analyses to non-technical audiences
  • You are an excellent verbal and written communicator and are comfortable delivering presentations with clear, complete messages
  • You thrive in a remote startup work environment and are excellent at setting clear goals and holding yourself accountable
  • You have experience in identity verification and fraud prevention (strongly preferred)
