We need a Senior Data Scientist to join our Anti Fraud Team to help protect our customers across the UK, Spain and Italy from fraud.
The role involves tackling fraud across our UK, Spain and Italy markets, influencing real world fraud decisions that impact the company's bottom line measured in millions.
What You’ll Do
* Design and improve fraud detection systems that prioritize high-risk claims, optimizing the trade-off between detection accuracy and operational efficiency.
* Collaborate across teams and functions, working closely with fraud analysts, engineers, and product managers.
* Develop deep expertise in fraud dynamics, identifying emerging fraud patterns, understanding how they evolve across the insurance lifecycle, and translating these insights into effective detection and prevention strategies, for example identifying suspicious networks of related claims, synthetic entities, or anomalous behavioral patterns.
What We’re Looking For
* At least 3 years of experience in analytical fraud detection in the Insurance, Finance or Law Enforcement domain.
* Applied knowledge of network analysis, anomaly detection or risk scoring and segmentation to real fraud problems.
* Strong Python programming skills, especially in the data domain, and fluent use of Git.
* Knowledge of Spark, SQL or any other data-oriented programming language and proficiency with standard data wrangling and modeling libraries (Pandas, Sklearn, Keras, XGBoost, LightGBM, etc.).
Nice-to-Have
* Experience in motor insurance.
* In-depth knowledge of graph databases (Neo4j, AWS Neptune) and analytics (NetworkX, GNN) or explainability applied to anomaly detection.
* Knowledge of BI tools (Tableau or similar).
* Proficiency in Italian and/or Spanish.
