  • Hands-on experience with Python, R, or similar analytical programming languages.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience working with large transactional datasets.
  • Understanding of fraud typologies including account takeover, card-not-present fraud, mule accounts, and social engineering.
  • Experience with model performance monitoring and optimisation.
  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Knowledge of fraud platforms such as FICO, Actimize, Feedzai, Featurespace, or similar is desirable.
  • Familiarity with model risk management and regulatory expectations.
