Staff Data Scientist

HUMAN was founded in 2012 in a Brooklyn sci-fi bookstore by Tamer Hassan, Michael Tiffany, Dan Kaminsky, and Ash Kalb. Our humble beginnings led to the creation of the Human Defense Platform, the backbone of all our products that safeguards enterprises from sophisticated bots, fraud, and account abuse. Today we verify the humanity of more than 20 trillion interactions per week for some of the largest companies and internet platforms.Our hacker roots still permeate everything we do. You will be a part of the HUMAN front line in our commitment to protecting companies (and in turn, their customers) from both revenue and reputation risk caused by digital attacks. However, HUMAN is not the center of this story. Humans like yourself are. We firmly believe in putting people first. This approach spans our extensive total rewards package, inclusive of competitive compensation, benefits, stipends - as well as our day-to-day culture - to ensure every human is empowered to do the best work of their life.The Enterprise Research team at HUMAN is dedicated to protecting the internet by disrupting the economics of cybercrime.

You have experience solving large-scale, data-intensive problems in production systems (we process trillions of events per day, so literacy with large datasets is a must!).You can explain the nuances of different statistical modeling approaches and make informed decisions on which to use, whilst also having the engineering awareness of the realities of shipping working code to customers.You have the ability to think 3 steps ahead in designing a data driven product, bring clarity to problems with ambiguity, and bring simplicity to problems with complexity.You are proficient with Python and SQL and familiar with related tools, libraries and platforms. You are fluent in Object Oriented development and have strong debugging skills.You have a good sense of ownership which drives you to find ways to do things better, faster, and leaner; you hold yourself accountable for the quality and accuracy of your work.You have experience working on cross-functional projects, with multiple stakeholders - both technical and non-technical; and following SDLC best practices: project management, version control, unit testing, and CI/CD.The base pay range for this position is $165,000- $205,000 which can include additional on-target bonus and/or incentives.
