Data Scientist

We’re hiring a Data Scientist to help shape the future of AI and ML at the company. You’ll be working closely with leadership to define the roadmap, uncover high-impact use cases, and develop models that drive real business value. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the challenge of building from the ground up—bringing structure, experimentation, and vision to a space full of potential.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to the ML Roadmap: Identify and prioritize AI/ML opportunities across key areas such as credit risk, fraud detection, customer acquisition, and churn prevention
• Prototype & Scale: Design, build, and deploy ML models that bring value to the company, starting with rapid prototyping and scaling up based on impact
• Data Strategy: Collaborate with engineering, product, and business teams to improve data collection practices and ensure we’re capturing the right signals for modeling
• Upskill the Org: Act as a mentor to junior analysts and team members; contribute to building a data science culture through peer reviews, workshops, and knowledge-sharing
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with teams across the company to deeply understand their challenges and co-create solutions that leverage data

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in a data science or applied ML role, ideally in a FinTech or high-growth startup environment
• Strong Python and SQL skills, and experience with ML libraries like scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, or similar
• A strategic mindset: you’re comfortable identifying business opportunities, prioritizing impact, and navigating ambiguity
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills—you can turn data into action and rally teams around your ideas
• Experience (or interest) in working on use cases like credit scoring, fraud detection, or customer lifecycle modeling is a big plus
