About the Role
You’ll help build the models that drive our credit and lending decisions, and learn how they get from a notebook into production. This is an entry-level role on a small team, so you’ll get real responsibility early and work closely with experienced data scientists and engineers. We care less about “here’s the model and here’s what it does” and more about what it changed for the business, the context behind it, and how clearly you explain it.
What you’ll do:
