  • Work with senior data scientists to translate fraud questions into testable hypotheses and analytical approaches.
  • Help build machine learning models for fraud detection across account opening, account takeover, and identity risk.
  • Evaluate models using both technical and business metrics, such as precision, recall, fraud capture rate, false-positive rate, and customer friction.
  • Develop and validate features using identity, transactional, behavioral, and other available data sources.
  • Write clean, well-tested code, and work with engineering to bring models and features into production.
  • Partner with the score monitoring team to help set up model and feature monitoring, and support research on related client questions.
  • Help prepare analyses and communicate findings to both technical and nontechnical audiences.
  • Apply Experian's standards for data privacy, model documentation, explainability, validation, and governance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
