资深数据科学家
Staff Data Scientist
1999年，NASA在经过9个月的地球旅程后与火星气候轨道器失去了联系。它开始执行预定的轨道插入操作，但在飞过火星背面后失去了无线电联系。虽然我们可能永远无法知道它是否在大气层中被摧毁或重新进入太阳系空间，但我们可以吸取的教训是，确保细节（在这种情况下是单位）正确无误至关重要，尤其是在追求星辰大海的时候。
尽管水星的宇宙旅程可能是比喻性的，但我们有自己的高远抱负，并且需要将这些抱负与精确的数据分析相结合。
为此，我们正在招聘一名专注于机器学习的数据科学家，以支持我们的风险团队。该团队不仅负责检测、监控和缓解第一方和第三方欺诈，还负责了解并理解我们的客户，同时监控他们的行为以识别金融犯罪风险。你将在加强我们的欺诈防御方面发挥关键作用，同时确保Mercury继续提供流畅且值得信赖的银行*体验。
这是加入Mercury的关键时刻的机会。你将参与解决业务中最关键的挑战，并与产品、工程和风险团队合作，保护我们的客户和整个金融系统。
以下是您工作中的一些职责：
- 构建、验证和部署机器学习模型，以实时识别和防止欺诈
- 通过文档、测试和监控来支持这些模型的可重复性和稳健性
- 确保数据管道和工具中的数据质量和可靠性
- 与风险策略团队合作，构思模型输入和应用，并与工程团队优化部署和可观测性
- 作为技术负责人，进行原型设计、迭代和制定最佳实践，并带领团队前进
您应具备：
- 7年以上处理和分析大型数据集以解决问题并产生影响的经验，其中5年以上机器学习经验
- 精通SQL，并有使用它来理解和管理不完美数据的经验
- 精通Python，并有统计建模和机器学习的经验
- 有在生产环境中部署和监控机器学习模型的经验
- 能够在快节奏、优先级不断变化的环境中工作
- 有领导和赋能他人的能力，不仅完成自己的工作，还能提升周围人的水平
- 具备...

In 1999 NASA lost contact with its Mars Climate Orbiter after a 9 month journey from Earth. It began its planned orbital insertion maneuver but went out of radio contact after passing behind Mars. While we may never know whether it was destroyed in the atmosphere or re-entered heliocentric space, we can draw the lesson that getting the details (in this case, units) right is critical, especially when shooting for the stars.
While Mercury’s cosmic journey may be more metaphorical, we have our own sky-high ambitions and the need to marry those with precise data analysis.
To that end, we are hiring a Machine Learning-focused Data Scientist to support our Risk team. This team is responsible not only for detecting, monitoring, and mitigating both first- and third-party fraud but also ensuring we know and understand our customers while monitoring their behavior for financial crime risk. You’ll play a key role in strengthening our fraud defenses while ensuring that Mercury continues to deliver a smooth and trustworthy banking* experience.
This is an opportunity to join Mercury at a pivotal moment in our growth. You’ll be working on some of the most critical challenges facing the business and collaborating across product, engineering, and risk to protect our customers and the financial system at large.
Here are some things you’ll do on the job:
- Build, validate, and deploy machine learning models to identify and prevent fraud in real time
- Support the reproducibility and robustness of said models through documentation, testing, and monitoring
- Ensure data quality and reliability across pipelines and tools
- Collaborate with Risk Strategy to ideate on model inputs and applications and with Engineering optimize deployment and observability
- Act as a technical lead prototyping, iterating on, and codifying best practices - and bringing the rest of the team along
You should have:
- 7+ years of experience working with and analyzing large datasets to solve problems and drive impact, with 5+ years of ML experience
- Proficiency in SQL and experience using it to understand and manage imperfect data
- Proficiency in Python and experience with statistical modeling and machine learning
- Experience deploying and monitoring machine learning models in production
- Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities
- Demonstrated ability to lead and empower others, delivering not just on your own work, but upleveling those around you
- The ability to drive strategic alignment between teams with differing roadmaps, timelines, or architectures
Ideally you also have:
- 1+ years of relevant risk experience
- Familiarity with LLMs or other GenAI and how they can be applied to risk or fraud detection
- Experience with modern data tools for pipelines and ETL (e.g., dbt)
- Experience with model governance as required in finance or other regulated industries
- Experience building zero-to-one solutions in ambiguous or greenfield problem spaces
