At Shakepay, we’re on a mission to usher in the Bitcoin golden age. We’re reimagining financial services to give every Canadian their fair shake.
Our culture is built around doing work that matters, winning as a team, and celebrating success. If you're the kind of person who values growth, shipping fast, and sharing your ideas openly with a group of like-minded people, come and build with us!
Since 2015, we’ve been building the Shakepay app to make buying and earning bitcoin fast, easy, and secure. In 2022, we launched the Shakepay Card, allowing shakers to earn bitcoin rewards when they shop. Today, more than one million Canadians use Shakepay to grow their bitcoin savings and take control of their financial future.
We’re regulated across all Canadian provinces and territories, and backed by renowned venture capitalists with a funding of $44M. We have a passionate, loyal, and growing community, and we’re looking for people who want to help us build something truly special.
About the risk team
We’re re-instating a dedicated Risk team at Shakepay to build the next generation of our risk systems and decisioning capabilities.
The team’s mission is to enable sustainable business growth by protecting customers, Shakepay, and the broader financial ecosystem from abuse - while balancing fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, customer experience, and operational efficiency.
This is a small, newly formed team (starting with two engineers and a dedicated data partner) with significant ownership and ambiguity. The team works closely across fraud, decision science, security, compliance, customer support, and product to build foundational risk systems, data infrastructure, and decision frameworks.
Senior Data Scientist, Risk
We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to help define how Shakepay measures, understands, and manages risk.
This role is analytics-first, with selective use of machine learning where it meaningfully improves understanding or decision quality. You’ll work closely with Risk Engineering and business partners to surface insights, guide prioritization, and evaluate the impact of risk controls.
You’ll be expected to go deep on ambiguous problems, form strong points of view, and influence decisions - not just produce dashboards. This is a role for someone who can decide when analysis is enough, and when more sophisticated modeling is warranted.

Bonus points
The base salary range for this position is $130,000 - $150,000 CAD. Base pay may vary based on factors such as years of experience, skills and qualifications. Additionally, employees are eligible for equity, pay increases based on performance, benefits including health and dental care, and paid time off.
We understand that potential can be just as valuable as experience. If you're eager to learn, grow, and contribute to the mission but worry that you may not have the “right” experience, we still want you to apply. We encourage applications from everyone, regardless of background and life experience. We’re firm believers that a little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept.
We use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support certain parts of our hiring process. This can include tools that assist with scheduling, application review, candidate communications, and generating interview notes, guides, or summaries so our team can stay focused on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team.
