Company mission
Human Security's mission is to protect the heart of the internet by disrupting the economics of cybercrime.
Role
Who you are
- You have experience solving large-scale, data-intensive problems in production systems (we process trillions of events per day, so literacy with large datasets is a must!)
- You can explain the nuances of different statistical modeling approaches and make informed decisions on which to use, whilst also having the engineering awareness of the realities of shipping working code to customers
- You are proficient with Python and SQL and familiar with related tools, libraries and platforms (e.g. Pydantic, Jupyter, Pandas, NumPy etc). You are fluent in Object Oriented development and have strong debugging skills
- You have a good sense of ownership which drives you to find ways to do things better, faster, and leaner; you hold yourself accountable for the quality and accuracy of your work
- You have experience working on cross-functional projects, with multiple stakeholders; and following SDLC best practices: project management, version control, unit testing, and CI/CD
- Level of Experience - Senior, 5-7 years of experience
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Data Scientist to join our team to stay two steps ahead of the most advanced botters on the internet
- This role is at the intersection of data, technology, and business as we aspire to deeply understand how actors are perpetrating schemes and develop a powerful product to delight our customers
- Build upon existing automation and DS platforms to automate reactive and proactive actions to detect and disrupt novel bot attacks
- Devise techniques that leverage the signals we collect to produce robust automated fraud detection techniques, using meticulous experimentation to find techniques that are difficult for bad actors to adapt around
- Support experiments that demonstrate the value of our emerging automation solutions by highlighting anomalies consistent with fraud
- Be an active participant in team responsibilities, including reviewing other data scientists’ work prior to launching new detection rules/algorithms, our ‘sheriffing’ process where we proactively monitor anomalies arising in our systems and taking part in ‘tech-debt days’ to keep our codebase clean and healthy
- Contribute to our growing DS toolsets, that ‘creating tau’ (disproportionate leverage) by accelerating our team’s ability to find fraud, automating cumbersome tasks, and creating novel methodologies. by empowering the other humans around you
Our take
HUMAN develops threat intelligence software to detect and nullify online bots imitating humans. The company has been in operation since 2011, but was originally known as White Ops until Goldman Sachs acquired it in 2020.
It’s estimated that enterprises lose around 5% of their annual online revenue because of bot fraud, which makes up a vast majority of all internet attacks. Skyrocketing bot traffic online since 2020 has led to a massive uptick in demand for services like HUMAN's, and the company now counts the likes of Adobe and Yahoo as customers.
HUMAN has established itself as a leader in its market, operating on five continents. With the Goldman Sachs acquisition and strong funding at its back, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. It has continued to bolster its position by merging with web app safeguarding business PerimeterX, as well as acquiring anti-malvertising leader clean.io. In 2024 it announced a string of new leadership hires amidst accelerated investment in the public sector.
