Analytics at Postmates

We find joy in removing barriers to data and seeing the light bulb go off in people’s heads. We geek out over our trove of consumer, commerce, and logistics datasets to unlock insights and solutions to our biggest business challenges. We’re futurists building what’s next in the modern logistics space.

WHAT WE DO

Postmates runs one of the largest marketplaces in the country, connecting consumers, merchants, and Postmates in real-time. Postmates isn’t just another ad platform or mobile app for delivering static user generated content: We have real customers paying real money for a real service. Our business moves products, money, and people in the real world and poses challenging risk problems.
As a Risk Analyst You Will:

  • Protect our users and marketplace against incredibly sophisticated and competent adversaries
  • Mine our enormous data to develop signals, detection methods, and real time rules
  • Help develop machine learning models
  • Conduct investigations to detect enemies who will do anything to avoid detection
  • Evaluate, improve, and create new defenses

We are looking for a passionate analyst with a detective mindset, appetite for learning, and competitive spirit. This isn’t a dashboard job, this is war.
REQUIREMENTS

  • 2-5 years of applied experience executing data mining and analysis in the risk domain
  • Demonstrated experience in translating data into actionable signals and decisions

  • Basic level Python
  • Basic understanding of ML classification models
  • Strong communication skills involving highly technical as well as theoretical subjects

  • Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) required

BONUS POINTS

  • Experience in protecting accounts that have money in them and/or involve transactions in the real world
  • Scientific education (Statistics, Operations Research, Math, Physics, Engineering …)
