Data Scientist (f/x/m)

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential European fintech organization seeking a hands-on Data Scientist to apply machine learning to real-world financial crime challenges. You will take ownership of models from concept through production deployment, working with complex transactional data to build solutions that are accurate, robust, explainable, and scalable.

Your day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Developing and improving ML models for fraud detection
• Working on automated rule discovery and optimization for fraud detection
• Exploring transactional and behavioral data to identify suspicious patterns
• Owning feature engineering, model training, validation, and monitoring
• Taking models from prototype to production
• Communicating results clearly to technical and business stakeholders

What We're Looking For

Our client needs a data scientist with:

• Degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field
• 2–3 years of hands-on experience in machine learning and applied data science, ideally in fraud detection, banking, or financial services
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL
• Deep understanding of classification and anomaly detection algorithms, with the ability to select, tune, and evaluate models using appropriate metrics and validation strategies
• End-to-end ownership capabilities: from exploring high-dimensional data and building models to visualizing results, deploying to cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, or AWS), and managing the full model lifecycle
• Experience with LLMs and agentic workflows
• Familiarity with model explainability tools such as SHAP and model cards
• Structured, self-directed working style and strong communication skills
• Fluent in English; professional working proficiency in German, including client-facing technical discussions

The role is based in Frankfurt am Main with a flexible hybrid work model, allowing you to split your time between the office and working from home.
