Role

Who you are

We're looking for builders, reimaginers, and global thinkers who want to work at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation
3 or more years of experience using SQL and Python or R for exploratory data analysis, statistical analysis, and machine learning
Proficiency creating dashboards and visualizations using tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Mode, or similar technology
Experience designing, running, and analyzing experiments to inform business strategy
A degree in data science, statistics, mathematics, operations research, or related field (or equivalent experience)

What the job involves

The Trust Machine Learning team protects Remitly's customers by developing intelligent systems that prevent fraud. These systems assess the risk of every transaction and customer interaction, while minimizing the impact on user experience and customer trust
As an embedded data scientist, you will understand fraud trends, uncover new fraud signals, and use data to optimize our risk decision policies
Discover and deliver fraud signals that improve model performance to target and prevent first-party fraud, consumer fraud, and unwanted activity
Manage and assess risk decision policies that improve automated fraud prevention outcomes, balancing risks with operational and customer impacts
Design metrics and dashboards that communicate fraud model efficacy to business partners
Design and conduct A/B experiments to assess and understand the impact of fraud decision policy changes
Partner with machine learning engineers to ensure features are well-integrated and optimized for production models

Our take

Since its inception in 2011 Remitly has focussed on helping immigrants to send money across the world faster, cheaper and easier. The company has grown exponentially since then and now operates across multiple continents. Remitly put down most of its success on putting its customers first.

The emergence of digital banks with low transaction fees cross-country has increased competition in a space where Remitly was dominant for many years. The company must continue to innovate its product to ensure it is the go-to place for these types of payments.

However, Remitly continues to partner with exciting companies and improve their service for loyal customers. The company is setting its sights beyond its core remittance service, such as through the recent introduction of Passbook, an app that allows customers to access digital banking through a partner bank.
