Toronto, Canada Block Full time

Company Description

Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely - and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take a payment and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions - to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow all in one place.

Today, we’re a partner to sellers of all sizes - large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.

There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.

**Job Description**:
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join our Risk Machine Learning & Decision Science team. You'll build processes to root out high-risk activity across the Square platform of products. You will also manage top level Risk KPIs, establish core operational metrics, and make improvements through machine learning solutions or analysis.

The Risk Data Scientist will use analytical skills to identify and prevent the payment risks. You will lead experimentations to promote Risk effectiveness throughout Square. You will partner with product, engineering, operations, policies and sales to influence Squares global Risk road map and processes. You will have a chance to own the key metrics, develop data pipelines, ETL. You will also make direct impact to our key success metrics via building machine learning solutions, risk detection rule development and deployment.

**You Will**:

- Diagnose problems and develop compelling, data-driven recommendations
- Develop and maintain multiple data pipelines and ETLs
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and operation teams to design solutions to business problems, influence product roadmaps, and solution new products/processes
- Have a chance to use machine learning tools to develop data-driven solutions.
- Promote creative risk solutions through third-party evaluation and integration with a focus on improving the seller experience
- Develop executive presentations for Squares leadership

**Qualifications**:
**You have**:

- A BS/BA in Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Management Science, Computer Science, or a related technical field, OR BS/BA in Criminal Justice, Economics, Business, or a related business field
- 5+ years of relevant experience (or masters and 3+ years)
- Experience with SQL, Python and Looker
- Experience driving data-driven solutions and project-managing their implementation
- Experience answering unstructured questions and managing projects and tasks to a conclusion
- A passion for Square's mission
- Experience in risk, trust and safety, payments, or spam prevention
