Join Mercury as a Senior Data Scientist to build and deploy machine learning models for fraud detection, ensuring data quality and collaborating across teams to enhance customer experience.
In 1999, NASA lost contact with its Mars Climate Orbiter after a 9-month journey from Earth. It began its planned orbital insertion maneuver but went out of radio contact after passing behind Mars. While we may never know whether it was destroyed in the atmosphere or re-entered heliocentric space, we can draw the lesson that getting the details (in this case, units) right is critical, especially when shooting for the stars. While Mercury’s cosmic journey may be more metaphorical, we have our own sky-high ambitions and the need to marry those with precise data analysis. To that end, we are hiring a Machine Learning-focused Data Scientist to support our Risk team. This team is responsible not only for detecting, monitoring, and mitigating both first- and third-party fraud but also ensuring we know and understand our customers while monitoring their behavior for financial crime risk. You’ll play a key role in strengthening our fraud defenses while ensuring that Mercury continues to deliver a smooth and trustworthy banking experience. This is an opportunity to join Mercury at a pivotal moment in our growth. You’ll be working on some of the most critical challenges facing the business and collaborating across product, engineering, and risk to protect our customers and the financial system at large.
