Vor 6 Tagen

Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Zalando Vollzeit 80.000 € - 120.000 € pro Jahr
THE ROLE & THE TEAM

Zalando Payments is looking for a Senior Applied Scientist to join our team and help us advance our risk models. In this role, you'll be responsible for the full machine learning lifecycle, including deep data exploration, model development, deployment, and monitoring. While this position has a strong research component, we need someone with a production mindset who can also translate new findings into robust, real-time systems. Most importantly, you must have a passion for data. As fraud patterns are diverse and constantly changing, you'll be the one to find, understand, and leverage these patterns to protect our systems.

This position is located in the Risk Management Department, which is responsible for managing credit and fraud risk for Zalando's payments.
