Senior Applied Scientist

Zalando Payments is looking for a Senior Applied Scientist to help us further develop our risk models and causal inference predictor. In this role, you will participate in the full ML lifecycle: data deep dives and gaining insights; and model creation, deployment, and monitoring. While there is a strong research component required in this role, we are searching for someone with a production mindset who thinks through how to put new findings into our real-time systems. Most importantly we are looking for someone who really loves data, as fraud patterns are diverse and constantly changing, we need someone who seeks to understand and utilize those patterns for good. This position is located in the Risk Management Department, which is responsible for managing credit and fraud risk for Zalando’s payments and refunds.
