Why Socure?

Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.

We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.

About the role:

We are currently looking for a Data Scientist (DS-II) to join our Data Science, Client Analysis team to be based remotely in the USA.

• 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)
