Staff Data Scientist - RiskOS

About the role

Socure is the leading provider of digital identity verification and fraud prevention solutions, leveraging AI and machine learning to power the most accurate decisions. Our mission is to eliminate identity fraud and ensure online trust across industries. As a Staff Data Scientist for RiskOS, you will sit at the intersection of platform data science, fraud and risk analytics, and Generative AI. You will own end‑to‑end development of data‑driven solutions on the RiskOS platform-from heavy‑duty data exploration and cleaning, through modeling and GenAI agent design, all the way to production deployment and monitoring. You will leverage your expertise in fraud and risk management to help develop and integrate robust detection and decisioning models, and your experience with Generative AI to design, evaluate, and operationalize LLM‑powered tools that improve analytics, workflows, and case investigations. You will collaborate closely with engineering and platform teams to build scalable, production‑grade pipelines and services, and with product and risk leaders to ensure RiskOS delivers actionable insights, self‑serve analytics, and best‑in‑class fraud prevention at scale. This is a highly collaborative, hands‑on technical leadership role for someone who enjoys owning complex data problems end‑to‑end and acting as a force multiplier for other data scientists and product teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement advanced analytics on top of noisy, heterogeneous RiskOS data to understand user behavior, product usage, fraud patterns, and workflow effectiveness; translate findings into concrete product and risk strategy improvements.
• Architect and build scalable data pipelines and production ML workflows, collaborating with data engineering to ensure robust, reliable, and efficient data processing for both batch and streaming use cases.
• Lead the design, execution, and analysis of experimentation frameworks to optimize user journeys, feature adoption, and workflow performance across the RiskOS platform.
• Lead the creation and evaluation of Generative AI solutions (LLMs, agents, prompt‑based tools) that automate analytics, power case review and investigation assistants, streamline documentation, and enhance RiskOS workflows and reporting.
• Define rigorous evaluation frameworks for GenAI solutions, including offline benchmarks, human‑in‑the‑loop review, safety and hallucination checks, and impact measurement in production.
• Partner with platform and engineering teams to define and build core RiskOS data science infrastructure, including feature stores, model‑serving APIs, evaluation services, and monitoring frameworks for both traditional ML and GenAI systems.
• Own end‑to‑end deployment of production‑grade solutions: packaging models and GenAI workflows, integrating with RiskOS services, establishing SLAs, and instrumenting telemetry, alerting, and feedback loops.
• Develop and automate tools for model evaluation, stress testing, backtesting, and adversarial scenario simulation to ensure robustness and operational resilience-especially in high‑risk fraud and compliance contexts.
• Enable product and risk teams through self‑serve analytics and tools: build dashboards, template analyses, and GenAI‑driven assistants that help non‑technical users explore RiskOS data, tune workflows, and debug decisions.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with product, engineering, risk, solution consulting, and customer‑facing teams to translate business requirements into data‑driven solutions and actionable insights, particularly for fraud and risk use cases on RiskOS.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to other data scientists and analysts, modeling best practices in experimentation, software engineering hygiene, GenAI safety, and rigorous model evaluation.
• Ensure all solutions adhere to best practices in data privacy, security, and compliance, especially when handling sensitive PII and financial data in regulated fintech and public‑sector environments.
• Contribute to company‑wide standards for ML and GenAI explainability, risk evaluation, feature logging, and documentation, helping raise the overall AI bar across Socure.
• Communicate complex technical concepts and findings clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, including executive leadership and exter
