Overview

We are looking for a Data Scientist to help shape the future of payments by building data-driven solutions that improve fraud detection, streamline merchant onboarding, enhance customer experiences, and support smarter decision-making across the business. In this role, you’ll work closely with product, engineering, and operations teams to uncover insights from complex datasets and develop predictive models that drive measurable impact.


What You’ll Do

  • Build and deploy machine learning models for fraud detection, transaction scoring, and behavioural insights.
  • Develop statistical models and forecasting tools that improve operational efficiency and reduce risk.
  • Apply NLP, anomaly detection, clustering, and other advanced techniques to extract value from payments and customer data.
  • Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) to surface trends, anomalies, and optimisation opportunities.
  • Turn complex datasets into clear, actionable insights through dashboards, visualisations, and reporting.
  • Partner with stakeholders to define KPIs and measure product performance.
  • Work alongside data engineers to design scalable data pipelines and ensure high-quality, reliable datasets.
  • Support integration of structured and unstructured data sources across the wider organisation.
  • Contribute to the evolution of data lakes, warehouses, and real-time analytics environments.
  • Collaborate with Product, Risk, Compliance, and Operations teams to align analytics with business goals.
  • Present insights and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Support experimentation initiatives, including A/B tests and data-driven product development.
  • Ensure all data usage meets internal governance standards and industry regulations (GDPR, PCI-DSS).
  • Maintain clear documentation of models, methodologies, and data sources for auditability and reproducibility.

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven experience as a Data Scientist, ideally within payments, fintech, or large-scale analytics environments.
  • Strong skills in Python, R, SQL, and data science toolkits (e.g., scikit-learn, pandas, TensorFlow).
  • Hands‑on experience with cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP) and big data frameworks (Spark, Databricks).
  • Deep understanding of statistical modelling, machine learning techniques, and data visualisation best practices.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
