Senior Data Scientist — Transaction Intelligence

Job description

**About the role:** Malaa is Saudi Arabia’s first retail Open Banking platform in the Kingdom. Our product is built on one core asset: hundreds of millions of records of behavioral data. Turning that raw data into something people can act on is this role's whole job, and it spans the full pipeline: enriching transactions (categorizing short, noisy merchant strings in mixed English and latinized Arabic, and resolving them to real merchant entities), then building the models and analyses on top that turn transaction data into insight across our services — categorization, pattern recognition, anomaly detection, and risk assessment. You will be the data scientist for transaction data across the company: owning the enrichment models end to end (modeling, evaluation, and the production code), and partnering with product and engineering teams to design, ship, and measure model-backed features in other services.
