The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.\nWe hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself - keep reading.\n\nJob Summary:\nSocure is the leading provider of digital identity verification and fraud prevention solutions, using AI and machine learning to power accurate identity trust decisions. Our mission is to eliminate identity fraud and ensure online trust across industries.\nWe are seeking a Data Scientist II to join our Digital Intelligence team. In this role, you will develop machine learning features, analytical methods, and production-oriented risk signals using device, network, browser, mobile, API, session, and behavioral telemetry.\nThis is a hands-on role for a data scientist who can independently deliver well-scoped projects, work with complex and noisy data, and partner with engineering, product, and risk teams to improve fraud detection, identity confidence, and customer outcomes. You will deepen your expertise in Digital Intelligence while contributing to models and signals used in real-world production decisions.\nJob Responsibilities:\nDevelop machine learning features, models, and analytical methods for device, network, browser, mobile, session, and behavioral intelligence.\n\nWork on scoped fraud and identity risk problems where data quality, labels, telemetry coverage, and product tradeoffs need careful analysis.\n\nBuild features from large-scale, high-cardinality, sparse, noisy, and platform-dependent telemetry.\n\nAnalyze signal patterns such as spoofing, emulator behavior, automation, proxy/VPN usage, low-entropy fingerprints, telemetry gaps, and device or session fragmentation.\n\nDesign and execute validation analyses, including train/test splits, holdout checks, leakage review, drift assessment, customer impact analysis, and feature stability review.\n\nUse supervised, unsupervised, statistical, and heuristic approaches to identify durable fraud and identity risk signals.\n\nInvestigate imperfect labels, delayed outcomes, instrumentation gaps, and changing fraud patterns to distinguish useful signal from data artifacts.\n\nPartner with senior data scientists, engineering, product, risk, and platform teams to clarify requirements, prepare data, implement features, and support production rollout.\n\nContribute to model documentation, feature definitions, explainability materials, dashboards, and production-readiness reviews.\n\nCommunicate methods, assumptions, findings, limitations, and recommendations clearly to technical and cross-functional stakeholders.\n\nSupport junior data scientists and analysts through code review, analytical feedback, and sharing effective modeling and validation practices.\n\nJob Requirements:\nBachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n5+ years of experience in data science, applied machine learning, statistical modeling, analytics engineering, or a related technical role.\n\nExperience building, evaluating, and improving machine learning models, features, analytical pipelines, or risk signals.\n\nStrong SQL skills and experience working with large-scale, complex datasets.\n\nStrong proficiency in Python and experience with data science libraries such as pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or similar.\n\nExperience with distributed data processing tools such as Spark, PySpark, Databricks, or equivalent frameworks.\n\nSolid understanding of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, feature engineering, model evaluation, statistical validation, and experiment analysis.\n\nAbility to work with noisy data, imperfect labels, missing values, instrumentation gaps, and changing data distributions.\n\nStrong analytical judgment across data quality, feature design, model selection, explainability, and business impact.\n\nExperience collaborating with engineering, product, analytics, or risk teams to move data science work toward production or operational use.\n\nClear communication skills, including the ability to explain technical work, assumptions, tradeoffs, and results to non-specialist stakeholders.\n\nAbility to operate independently on defined problem areas while seeking guidance appropriately on ambiguous or high-risk decisions.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nBackground in fraud detection, identity verification, trust and safety, anomaly detection, cybersecurity, risk modeling, or another adversarial data domain.\n\nExperience with device intelligence, browser/mobile fingerprinting, behavioral biometrics, network intelligence, VPN/proxy detection, or telemetry signal processing.\n\nExperience developing features from high-cardinality categorical data using techniques such as aggregation, frequency encoding, target encoding, embeddings, graph features, or representation learning.\n\nFamiliarity with production ML workflows, model monitoring, feature monitoring, or batch and near-real-time decisioning systems.\n\nExperience with dashboarding, model explainability, feature documentation, or customer-impact analysis.\n\nInterest in adversarial behavior, fraud patterns, telemetry quality, and applied ML systems that operate in real-world production environments.\n\nWhat You’ll Gain\nYou will work on meaningful data science problems in fraud prevention and identity verification, using high-scale Digital Intelligence telemetry to build features and risk signals that contribute to real-world production decisions.\nYou will gain deeper experience with device, network, browser, mobile, session, and behavioral intelligence while working closely with senior data scientists, engineering, product, and risk partners. This role offers the opportunity to grow from independently delivering scoped modeling projects toward owning broader workstreams and developing Senior-level technical judgment over time.\nSocure is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity in all its forms within our company.
