We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (previously invested in Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb), Nexus Venture Partners (previously invested in Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures (previously invested in Redis, Rollbar & Gradle).

We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates\' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Fingerprint recruiting email communications will always come from the @fingerprint.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Fingerprint via other sources should be ignored.

• Develop algorithms that transform raw, noisy, and unlabeled data into insights about browsers and devices
• Design and implement supervised learning models to improve detection accuracy
• Partner with ML Engineers, Data Scientists, and Software Engineers to push forward our technical expertise
• Conduct exploratory data analysis to investigate anomalies and ad-hoc questions
• Run experiments to solve ML engineering challenges like real-time inference and training automation

What We're Looking For

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Data Science, or related field, or equivalent experience
• 2–4 years of experience in Data Science or Machine Learning
• Strong foundations in ML and statistics
• Experience with supervised learning methods (gradient boosting, logistic regression, etc.) and working with categorical data
• Skilled in exploratory data analysis and deriving insights from complex datasets
• Proficiency in Python and SQL; experience with Git and software engineering basics
• Comfortable communicating in English in a global, remote team

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with semi-supervised or unsupervised learning techniques
• Hands-on experience with visualization tools (Apache Superset, Tableau, Looker)
• Knowledge of analytical storage systems (ClickHouse, Snowflake, BigQuery)
• Experience maintaining data transformations with dbt
• Ability to build lightweight real-time services from ML models
• Academic or research background

Tech Stack

• Backend & Data Science: Python, Go, SQL, ML frameworks
• Analytics & Processing: ClickHouse, dbt

Offers vary depending on, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, certifications/licenses, skills, training, and market conditions.

Due to regulatory and security reasons, there's a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Additionally, because Fingerprint is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location.

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone. We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives and cultural backgrounds that each employee brings to our workplace. Fingerprint strives to foster an environment where our employees feel respected, valued and empowered, and our team members are at the forefront in helping us promote and sustain an inclusive workplace. We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.
