About The Position

Data is at the center of everything we do. As a startup, we disrupted the credit card industry by individually personalizing every credit card offer using statistical modeling and the relational database, cutting edge technology in 1988! Fast-forward a few years, and this little innovation and our passion for data has skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in the world of data-driven decision-making. As a Data Scientist at Capital One, you’ll be part of a team that’s leading the next wave of disruption at a whole new scale, using the latest in computing and machine learning technologies and operating across billions of customer records to unlock the big opportunities that help everyday people save money, time and agony in their financial lives. The Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Modeling and Advanced Data Insights team is on a journey to modernize the way Capital One identifies potential money laundering, fraud, terrorist financing, and human trafficking through the use of advanced analytic techniques, statistics, and machine learning models. We develop predictive models, monitoring dashboards, and reporting using tools such as AWS, Snowflake, Python, and Spark. Our team produces the model outputs and data insights to operate our AML program efficiently and effectively. As the model developer for advancing transaction monitoring with machine learning, our team is responsible for end to end development, deployment, and monitoring of production models.
