Job Description:
Our client a fast-growing online consumer lender specializing in
installment lending and lines of
credit. Analytics is uniquely fundamental to this organization and
culture which means you have
the opportunity to be engaged with all aspects of our business and
work on really diverse and
challenging problems; from marketing to credit/risk to operations
and even investor relations.
The data science team consists of highly motivated and experienced
data scientists and they are
a strategic partner in developing and evolving the processes,
technology, and decisions of the
business. The atmosphere is very collaborative - they work out
difficult problems together and the work that
they do has a meaningful and immediate impact on the business. They
have a python-based,
custom-built platform for running all the credit modeling which
means that
they fully own our modeling processes from POC to production. They
are constantly working on
adding new models and improving existing ones and as a member of
the team you'll have a set
of models and analyses that will be your own.
Are you a data scientist ready to step into a role with more
responsibility and freedom? Do you
thrive in a fast-paced, challenging environment? Do you have
experience in python working
across a variety of data science tasks? Our client is looking for
other inquisitive minds to
help them solve challenging problems as they grow and scale their
business. They heavily use the
following techniques and technologies:
--- Modeling and machine learning
--- Advanced feature engineering
--- Python - pandas, numpy, scikit-learn
--- Anaconda, Jupyter notebooks
--- SQL - (PostgresSQL)
--- Deploying and validating models in production
--- Docker
An ideal candidate is well-experienced in at least a few of these,
and would like to get proficient
with the remainder, and maybe has good suggestions of other data
science tools and
methodologies that they haven't used yet.
Who are they looking for?
You are curious and highly driven. You like to sink your teeth into
really challenging problems
and when you're in the zone on a tough project, the time flies by.
You're comfortable with and
enjoy working on problems that are rarely well-defined. You can
manage multiple projects at
once and are able to switch between tasks as priorities change. You
are highly organized and
capable of managing your time (they don't want to micromanage).

Physics, Biostatistics,
Engineering), and 2+ years of related experience, Masters or Ph.D.
