  The Role

  • Flutterwave is seeking a highly analytical and technically driven Data Scientist to join our dynamic Risk team. As a fintech company operating in a rapidly evolving landscape, detecting anomalies and mitigating risk at scale is paramount to our success.
  • In this role, you will contribute to the transition of our risk capabilities from reactive analytics to proactive predictive modeling.

The ideal candidate possesses a deep understanding of ML algorithms, strong engineering fundamentals, and the ability to translate complex data into scalable, automated risk solutions.

  Responsibilities

  • Model Development: Design, develop, and optimize data-driven algorithms and machine learning models specifically focused on fraud detection, transaction monitoring, and risk mitigation.
  • Feature Engineering: Collect, clean, and analyze massive transactional datasets from multiple sources to identify predictive features and emerging fraud trends.
  • Deployment & Monitoring: Partner directly with the Engineering and MLOps teams to deploy models into production environments. Monitor model performance, track data drift, and retrain models to ensure ongoing accuracy.
  • Risk Strategy Optimization: Translate complex model outputs into actionable business rules and strategies. Work with the compliance and operations teams to balance fraud prevention with user friction.
  • Data Pipeline Validation: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate data accuracy, integrity, and consistency across all machine learning and risk pipelines.
  • Documentation & Culture: Maintain accurate, up-to-date documentation of model architectures, training datasets, and algorithmic decisions to support internal and external audits and regulatory requirements.

  Required Competency and Skillset

  • Education: Bachelor's or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.
  • Experience: 3–5 years of proven experience as a Data Scientist building and deploying machine learning models in a production environment.
  • Industry Knowledge: Experience working in the Fintech or payments industry is required.
  • Bonus/Preferred: Direct experience building fraud detection, credit risk, or anti-money laundering (AML) models is a plus.
  • Technical Stack: Strong programming skills in Python and SQL. Deep proficiency with ML libraries (e.g., Scikit-Learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, TensorFlow, or PyTorch).
  • Data Tools: Experience working with cloud data warehouses (e.g., Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery).
  • Soft Skills: Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate complex, algorithmic concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders (Legal, Finance, Operations).
