Staff Data Scientist - Risk

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Staff Data Scientist - Risk in Canada.

This role offers a high-impact opportunity to help design and shape the next generation of risk, fraud, and abuse detection systems within a fast-growing financial technology environment. You will work at the intersection of data science, product, and engineering to define how risk is measured, understood, and mitigated across crypto and fiat products. Operating within a newly formed and highly autonomous Risk team, you will help build foundational decisioning frameworks, analytics systems, and operational tooling from the ground up. The position requires both deep analytical expertise and strong product judgment to balance fraud prevention, customer experience, and regulatory expectations. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners including engineering, compliance, security, and operations to translate complex risk signals into actionable insights. This is an ideal role for a senior data science leader who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building systems rather than only analyzing them, and is excited about shaping financial trust and safety at scale.
