Join a fast-growing crypto-native iGaming operator as a Data Scientist focused on fraud, AML, player risk and real-time decisioning. You will turn player, payment and on-chain behavior into production models and explainable risk signals.
Обязанности
- Build fraud and AML models through feature engineering, training, validation, deployment and production monitoring
- Develop anomaly-detection and behavioral-clustering models for bonus abuse, multi-accounting, chip dumping and collusion
- Model chargeback risk, deposit and withdrawal anomalies, and player-lifecycle risk across crypto and fiat payment rails
- Analyze crypto wallet flows and on-chain behavior using relevant blockchain analytics tools
- Work with fraud analysts and rules engineers to convert model outputs into tunable rules with defined precision and false-positive targets
- Own experimentation for risk models, including champion-challenger testing, backtesting, drift monitoring and post-deployment reporting
- Partner with Payments, VIP and Product teams on friction-versus-risk decisions
- Create visualizations and reporting in Looker or Metabase for non-technical leadership
