About the Role
As a Senior Data Scientist for Detection & Modeling, you will own the features and models at the core of surveillance systems, evolving them as systems mature and labeled datasets grow. This hands-on modeling role offers significant opportunity to shape detection architecture.
Responsibilities
- Design and refine features on large-scale financial time-series and on-chain data, emphasizing signals robust to noisy, heavy-tailed conditions.
- Develop and improve anomaly-detection models using both supervised and unsupervised approaches.
- Evolve model architectures as labels accumulate, moving from simpler classifiers to multi-class, per-scenario, and ensemble designs.
- Activate the supervised layer for the DeFi side as the first disposition labels arrive.
- Improve detector calibration to ensure trustworthy and comparable scores across market types and venues.
- Partner with validation and analyst teams on labeling pipelines that supply model training signals.
Requirements
- Strong feature engineering and applied ML on transactional or time-series data.
- Hands-on experience with anomaly detection and unsupervised methods (e.g., isolation forests, density-based methods, autoencoders).
- Solid statistical foundations, including model calibration and working with imperfect labels.
- Production ML experience, including shipping, monitoring, and maintaining models over time.
- Comfort scaling a modeling approach across many detectors, market types, and venues.
- Fraud, risk, integrity, or market-surveillance domain experience is a plus.
- FIX / market-microstructure fluency is a plus.
- On-chain data familiarity is a plus.
