About the role

what will you do?

    fraud detection & analysis:

    • analyse large datasets to identify unusual patterns, behaviours and signals that could indicate emerging fraud.

    • investigate how fraudsters may be exploiting products, processes or system vulnerabilities.

    • develop hypotheses, test them through data and translate findings into practical fraud detection approaches.

    • fraud prevention & problem solving:

      • work with data science and engineering to identify and close gaps in fraud detection and prevention.

      • identify new signals and approaches that can improve our ability to detect evolving fraud patterns.

      • build and iterate on detection logic and solutions as fraud patterns and attack methods change.

      • cross-functional execution:

        • partner with product and engineering teams across cred to understand new product flows and identify potential fraud risks.

        • work closely with engineering to implement signals, controls and other prevention mechanisms.

        • operate across different products and problem statements as fraud is a horizontal problem across CRED.

        • continuous learning:

          • stay curious about how systems work and how they can be exploited.

          • learn continuously as new fraud patterns, technologies and vulnerabilities emerge.

          • bring an adversarial / "hacker" mindset to problem solving , think beyond the obvious solution and challenge existing assumptions.

you should apply if you:

    • have 1–2 years of experience in data science, analytics, engineering or a related technical role.

    • have strong sql and analytical skills and are comfortable working with large datasets.

    • have good hands-on python/coding experience.

    • have a basic understanding of data science /ML concepts such as features, models and how models are deployed. you do not need to be an ml specialist or have built fraud models before.

    • are highly curious and willing to learn, especially in ambiguous and unfamiliar problem spaces.

    • have an adversarial / hacker mindset  you naturally think about how a system might be broken, exploited or circumvented.

    • are comfortable getting hands-on and working closely with engineering and product to take an idea from analysis to implementation.

    • have strong ownership and grit, and are comfortable operating with urgency when the problem demands it.
