About the Role
You'll be a machine learning engineer in the Data org, contributing to diverse, high-impact machine learning challenges. In this role, you'll focus on designing, building, and deploying scalable ML solutions and systems within the credit environment. You'll lead experimentation with new modeling approaches and strategies, collaborate closely with engineers on ingesting signals and productionizing models, and help build the next wave of cash flow based underwriting. You'll own AI and machine learning work across the full model lifecycle, from offline training to online serving and monitoring, while helping define the ML roadmap with cross-functional teams.
