DATA SCIENTIST

REMOTE

UP TO £85,000

A fast-growing fintech is seeking a Data Scientist to join their risk and analytics team. This is a rare opportunity to work on complex, high-impact problems in merchant risk, fraud, and credit analytics, helping shape solutions that directly affect the business and its customers.

THE ROLE

You'll be joining a team that's building things from scratch, tackling novel challenges with both analytical rigour and commercial insight. Day-to-day, you'll:

  • Monitor and assess partner portfolios using advanced analytics and, where needed, account-level reviews to understand both existing and emerging risks.
  • Build, implement, and track predictive rules and models to improve understanding of merchant risk.
  • Collaborate with payments firms and insurers to understand their requirements and shape data-driven solutions for the market.

REQUIREMENTS

  • 2-5 years' experience in a quantitative credit risk, fraud, or related analytical role.
  • Strong technical skills: Python for analysis, SQL for data extraction/manipulation.
  • Experience with supervised models (logistic regression, gradient boosting).
  • Self-starter mentality with the ability to work autonomously and proactively solve problems.
  • Motivated by making tangible impact on the business and customer outcomes.
