Job Description
***This role is 100% remote and can be located anywhere in the US
Did you know there are 1.4 billion1 people in the world that are financially underserved by traditional banks?
In many cases, people that depend on remittances being sent or received, often across different countries. Sometimes even across different continents. MoneyGram impacts the daily life of 1.5 million customers, connecting families and businesses across borders.
By relying on a vast network of agents, by being present in 200+ different countries, and by developing cutting-edge payment technology, MoneyGram is paving the way for global financial fairness and inclusion!

About This Position
The role involves developing advanced fraud detection solutions using machine learning and data science techniques. Responsibilities include building models with gradient boosting and exploring deep learning approaches, designing supervised and unsupervised anomaly detection systems, and engineering features from transactional, behavioral, and identity data. The position requires deploying models into real-time production environments with scoring and explainability, conducting champion/challenger experiments, and creating monitoring dashboards for performance, drift detection, and feature stability. The individual will analyze fraud patterns across corridors, customer segments, and transaction types, investigate false positives and negatives, and optimize trade-offs between approval rates and fraud losses. Additional duties include documenting model architecture and performance, supporting data labeling strategies, and communicating insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
What You Will Do:
Build fraud detection models using gradient boosting and experiment with deep learning approaches where appropriate
Build supervised / unsupervised anomaly detection models on labeled and unlabeled data to identify outliers
Engineer features from transaction history, device fingerprints, behavioral signals, and identity data
Deploy models to production with real-time scoring and reason code generation
Design and execute champion/challenger experiments to validate model improvements
Build monitoring dashboards for model performance, drift detection, and feature stability
Analyze fraud patterns by corridor, customer segment, and transaction type to identify modeling opportunities
Investigate false positives and false negatives to drive continuous model improvement
Quantify trade-offs between approval rates and fraud losses at different threshold levels
Document model architecture, feature definitions, and performance characteristics
Support data labeling strategy and quality assurance with operations teams
Communicate insights and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Who We’re Looking For:
Experience
4+ years of experience in machine learning and data science
2+ years building production ML models in fraud, risk, payments, or financial services
Proven experience deploying and maintaining models in real-time production systems
Technical Skills
Strong proficiency with gradient boosting frameworks (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost)
Solid feature engineering skills—ability to extract signal from transactional and behavioral data
Production ML experience including model serialization, deployment, and performance monitoring
Proficient SQL for working with large datasets (BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar)
Proficiency in Python: pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and familiarity with deployment tools
Understanding of model explainability (SHAP values, feature importance, gain importance)
Experience with A/B testing or champion/challenger experimental design
Domain Knowledge
Understanding of fraud detection concepts: false positive/negative trade-offs, precision/recall, threshold optimization
Familiarity with common fraud signals (velocity, device, identity, behavioral)
Ability to translate model outputs into business impact (approval rates, loss rates, customer friction)
Preferred
Experience with payment fraud, account takeover, or identity fraud specifically
Familiarity with identity verification signals (device fingerprinting, phone/email risk)
Experience with decisioning platforms (Oscilar, Datavisor, Actimize, or similar)
Background in anomaly detection or unsupervised learning for emerging fraud patterns
