📍 Remote first – UK/Europe
🛠️ Python, SQL, graph analytics, identity/entity resolution, AWS
🚀 Own the strategy and build of our identity graph and graph-driven identity intelligence
🕛 Senior individual contributor – deep graph expertise, hands-on, with the ambition to grow a team
💰 Competitive compensation
💚 Fantastic benefits including Health Plans, WFH allowance and Macbook Pro
We are Provenir AI, part of the Provenir group — a global fintech building the decisioning and analytics products that financial services and other industries rely on to make smarter, faster decisions.
You'll own the strategy, design, and evolution of our identity graph and the intelligence we build on top of it powering identity resolution, identity intelligence, and next-generation fraud solutions across our core products, including our 1datapipe® platform and Living Identity® data.
This is a senior individual contributor role that pairs deep graph and entity-resolution expertise with genuine product thinking. You'll be hands-on from day one, shaping how the graph is built, queried, and enriched and how it becomes real product capability. As you prove the value, you'll grow a data science team around you over time.
You'll thrive here if you like autonomy, don't need a fully formed data science org around you, and are motivated by shipping intelligence that improves the product working embedded with engineering and product teams.
What You'll OwnThe core identity graph model and its long-term evolution
Feature discovery from entity relationships and connected data
Product capabilities built on the graph, and the analytical workflows behind them
Standards for how identity intelligence is built, validated, explained, and reused
Technical direction on the analytical methods, graph libraries, and tooling we build with partnering with engineering on the underlying data architecture
Cross-functional alignment between product goals and our data capabilities
Data science standards, tools, and methodology across Provenir AI — how we experiment, validate, and ship
Pragmatic use of LLMs and agentic tooling to add value, whether internally for productivity or directly in the product
Design and evolve a deterministic identity graph that represents key entities, relationships, and business logic
Identify and prioritise the features, signals, and patterns in our connected data that create product value
Build and guide analytics pipelines for link analysis, identity resolution, clustering, ranking, anomaly detection, and discovery
Partner with data engineers to define ingestion, enrichment, validation, and publishing workflows into the identity data
Work with product managers and stakeholders to translate ambiguous business problems into product features
Prototype and evaluate approaches for identity resolution, identity intelligence, fraud detection, and risk intelligence
Partner with data engineers to define the quality and coverage signals that matter for trustworthy identity intelligence — coverage, match confidence, and accuracy
Select the right technologies and patterns, and create clear documentation and decision frameworks so the work can be reused across teams
Mentor engineers and data scientists on graph methods, modelling, and analytical techniques and grow a team as value is proven
Strong experience in graph data science, knowledge graphs, or graph/network analytics
Hands-on experience building and working with graph structures using libraries or databases (e.g. Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, JanusGraph, GraphFrames, NetworkX, or similar)
Experience with identity resolution, entity resolution, or link analysis
Strong Python and SQL skills
A genuine product mindset, you start from the business problem and the product outcome, not the technique, and you can prioritise accordingly
Ability to design analytical approaches from ambiguous problems
Track record of operating in production environments with quality, scale, and reliability requirements
Strong communication skills and comfort working embedded with product and engineering teams
Although not essential, it would be great if you have experience with:
Building graph-enabled products in identity, fraud, financial crime, risk, or AI-driven decisioning
Graph embeddings or other graph-native ML methods
Ontology design, semantic modelling, or taxonomy development
Large-scale distributed data processing (e.g. Spark, Dask)
Building and growing data science teams
Working in scale-up or early-stage environments
This is a genuinely hands-on role. You'll be writing code and building graph pipelines yourself, not just directing and that's expected to remain true for the foreseeable future. The "grow a team" part comes after you've proven the value and established the foundations.
You'll be the most senior data scientist in the Provenir AI team, which means real independence and impact, but also means you won't have a large peer group of data scientists around you initially. If you thrive when given ownership and like building things from scratch, this could be ideal.
Much of the work is about making relationship data better, more connected, and more usable not just building models for their own sake. Credibility comes from shipping production capabilities that improve the product, working very closely with software and data engineers.
The identity graph and Living Identity® data are the priority and where you'll make your mark first. Over time, as the most senior data scientist, you'll also shape how data science is done across Provenir AI the tools, methods, and pragmatic use of LLMs and agents that add value, whether internally or in the product.
Interview ProcessThe interview process would typically be structured as follows:
Team Fit. A conversation with our CTO to explore how you work, what you're looking for, and how you'd fit with the team
Case Study. We'll share a realistic identity/graph data problem for you to work through ahead of the next round
Technical Interview. With data science and/or engineering leadership — you'll present and discuss your case study, and we'll explore your approach to graph and identity problems, production systems, and team building
Final Interview. A conversation with our CEO on vision, impact, and how you'd approach the first 90 days
Your BenefitsComprehensive private health cover and wellness plans
Flexible and remote-friendly opportunities
Maternity/paternity leave
Retirement benefits such as pension contributions to plan for your future
