Fraud Data Scientist, AIML Modeling & GenAI

Our Mission

Our mission is to SAVE AND IMPROVE LIVES BY EMPOWERING HEALTHCARE CONSUMERS. Come be part of remarkable.

Overview

How you can make a difference

 

You will drive HealthEquity's predictive modeling for card fraud, money-movement scams, AML alerts, and account-takeover attacks. You will also help drive our GenAI portfolio for fraud and security, you’ll build models that predict fraud in real time, craft AI assistants that automate alert triage and policy drafting, and deliver explainable insights that drive both immediate containment and long-term strategic controls. Your innovations will be mission-critical in reducing losses, scaling defenses, and elevating HealthEquity’s security and fraud posture.

 

What you’ll be doing

• Predictive Modeling & Feature Engineering: Build supervised (XGBoost, neural nets) and unsupervised (autoencoders, isolation forests) models for CNP, AML, and Account Takeover/identity fraud. Engineer sophisticated features—device fingerprints, transaction sequences, behavior embeddings, geospatial velocity —optimized for real-time scoring.
• GenAI Solutions: Design and fine-tune LLM-based assistants for alert summarization, adaptive rule suggestions, and dynamic MFA policy drafting. Manage vector stores and retrieval pipelines to ensure rapid, accurate GenAI responses under load.
• MLOps & Production Integration: Define end-to-end model lifecycle: data ingestion, versioned training, CI/CD deployment, monitoring for drift, and automated retraining triggers. Collaborate with Product Technology & Infrastructure team to integrate inference endpoints into transaction gateways and real-time streaming platforms.
• Explainability & Compliance: Implement explainable-AI frameworks so that every alert can be traced, justified, and audited for regulatory reviews. Partner with Compliance to document model risk assessments and satisfy any aligned internal or external regulations.
• Performance Metrics & Continuous Improvement: Establish dashboards tracking capture rates, false-positive lift, investigation velocity, and GenAI assistant adoption. Iterate on models and GenAI prompts based on feedback loops from confirmed fraud cases and investigations.

What you will need to be successful

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or related field.
• 3+ years applying AI/ML to fraud prevention, AML, or risk-analytics contexts.
• Proficient in Python, SQL, and ML frameworks (scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow/PyTorch), and large-language-model fine-tuning.
• Demonstrated ability to build production-ready MLOps pipelines, from data ingestion to real-time inference.
• Strong collaboration and storytelling skills— able to articulate model logic, performance, and business impact to technical and non-technical stakeholders. 
• Deep knowledge of payment card networks, EFT systems, and money movement
• Experience with streaming data architectures (Kafka, Spark structured streaming) and real-time feature stores
• Prior work integrating GenAI assistants into analyst workflows or customer-facing applications
• Familiarity with software engineering best practices: code reviews, unit testing, and CI/CD
• Open-source contributions or publications in fraud detection, AML, or generative AI
• Background in fast-faced fintech or payments environments, and a passion for staying ahead of adversaries
