Hey, you look like you might be our new Applied Scientist, Fintech (Fraud)
エンジニアリング
Helsinki, Finland · Stockholm, Sweden · Berlin, Germany
Full-time
Our Applied Scientists at Wolt build and deploy applied science and machine learning solutions to address a wide variety of challenging business problems. Utilizing a spectrum of methodologies including statistical analysis, machine learning, deep learning and operations research, they improve critical processes within Wolt's online delivery platform and business operations. Their contributions significantly impact all 28 countries in which we operate.
The work consists of owning applied science use cases as part of a product development team; starting from identifying opportunities, to developing and prototyping a solution, all the way to deploying, maintaining, and improving it in production. We use a variety of technologies and tools including Python, SQL, Snowflake, Flyte, MLflow and Seldon Core to get the job done, and are constantly looking for ways to improve how our applied scientists work.
We are looking for an Applied Scientist to be embedded into our cross-functional Payments Tooling team in Fintech, to work together with software engineers, and product, design and analytics people, to develop algorithms and solutions for fraud prevention. Initially, the work focuses on payment fraud but potentially expands to other kinds of fraud seen on the Wolt platform. There are opportunities to work on machine learning models such as risk scoring and identity resolution. This is the first embedded applied scientist role in that team, so here’s an opportunity to start something new and set the direction together with the team, besides shaping the future of fraud prevention across Wolt products.
📍This role can be based in one of our tech hubs in Helsinki, Berlin, or Stockholm.
