Senior Data Scientist - Fraud/Risk

We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Risk Decision Science team. In this role, you’ll apply a data-driven approach to identify, understand, and scope emerging fraud trends across the Uber platform. As a Senior Data Scientist (L5), you will be a technical bar-raiser and a trusted domain expert for stakeholders. You won't just analyze data, you will lead critical initiatives in fraud detection and collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, including engineers, product managers, operations, and other data scientists. You will be responsible for balancing complex trade-offs between fraud mitigation and user experience to drive key performance metrics like fraud losses and false positive rates. Success will require a strong blend of business and technical acumen, along with excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with both internal and external stakeholders.
