The Data Science (Consumer and Risk) team at Riverty is looking for skilled professionals to build Risk and Fraud machine learning models for our online payment products. Our primary goal is to determine whom to accept and whom to decline based on data from past customers.

What You Bring:

• Experience working with transactional databases or case handling systems.
• A bachelor's, master's, or Ph.D. in a STEM field (e.g. Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or related disciplines). 
• Ability to work with imperfect data—data collected for purposes other than machine learning.
• Hands-on experience deploying models into production.
• Proficiency in Python for data science applications.
• Familiarity with common data science frameworks in Python.
• A strong interest in learning new tools and technologies.

Bonus Skills:

• Experience writing production-ready Python code.

• Previous experience in the risk and fraud domain.
