Job description

You will work closely with business partners to translate complex fraud and risk problems into scalable, production ready analytical and AI solutions. Your work will directly protect policyholders, ensure program integrity, and improve operational efficiency.

Position Responsibilities:

  • Lead end to end development of fraud detection and risk analytics models, including probabilistic models, anomaly detection, and ensemble approaches.

  • Perform advanced modeling and AI analysis on large, complex datasets to identify emerging fraud patterns and root causes.

  • Demonstrate proficiency in developing, fine-tuning, and deploying Generative AI models such as GPT models, as well as other innovative architectures. This includes understanding the nuances of model selection, optimization, and evaluation to ensure high performance and accuracy, while managing cloud-based solutions to ensure scalability, security, and performance.

  • Build and optimize modular RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, apply advanced retrieval methods, and evaluate and monitor the performance of RAG systems.

  • Apply large language models (LLMs) to parse complex documents and handle diverse layouts, such as multi-column text, tables, and images, and converting them into machine-readable formats to extract structured information.

  • Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Generative AI, prompt engineering, Agentic Framework, and cloud technologies, to apply them and enhance our data science capabilities.

  • Collaborate with data engineers and ML engineers to integrate data science solutions into existing systems and workflows.

  • Communicate sophisticated technical concepts and findings to both technical and non-technical partners, ensuring clear understanding and agreement.

  • Review the work of other Data Scientists and take part in model and code reviews.

  • Collaborate with multi-functional teams to identify and define business requirements, ensuring alignment with data science objectives.

Requirements
