Location: Hybrid from Utrecht | FinTech SaaS | Fraud & AML Discovery Team
Help us stop fraud before it starts. At SurePay, we’ve processed over 10 billion IBAN‑Name Checks keeping payments secure and fraud‑free for over 200 banks and 300+ corporates across Europe. We’re building a new generation of fraud and anti‑money laundering (AML) products and need a hands‑on Data Scientist to join our Discovery team.
What you’ll do- Explore large financial datasets to uncover patterns, edge cases, and insights
- Build quick‑turnaround ML prototypes to validate hypotheses and identify signal quality
- Select the right algorithms based on the problem (supervised, unsupervised, anomaly detection, etc.)
- Fine‑tune models with awareness of overfitting, false positives, and interpretability
- Work closely with product and ML engineering to turn POCs into scalable systems
- Help define how we measure success for fraud detection (e.g., recall vs. Precision, AUC, business cost)
- Champion model explainability and ethical ML practices
- Contribute ideas, structure, and rigor to an early‑stage product team
- 3–5 years of experience in Data Science roles, ideally within fraud, security, or high‑noise domains
- Strong statistical and analytical skills. You should be able to reason clearly about data and model performance
- Proficient in Python and key ML libraries (e.g., pandas, scikit‑learn, PyTorch, MLflow) >Experience designing, tuning, and evaluating machine learning models
- Knowledge of data pipelines, basic backend development, and infrastructure awareness
- Comfortable with ambiguity, iteration, and early‑stage product work
- Familiarity with model interpretability tools and techniques
- Experience in AML, fraud prevention, or transaction monitoring
- Exposure to systems like FCRM, NICE Actimize, RiskShield, or Pega
- CI/CD practices applied to ML systems
- Interest in generative AI and prompt engineering
Design the foundations of a new AML product with real‑world stakes. Work closely with smart engineers, learn from real customer data, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in fraud detection.
