About the role
We’re building the credit risk model platform behind every lending decision at Shift. The goal is an always-on, confidence-rated view of risk for every customer, served straight to our Credit Decision Engine so models can make credit calls automatically and our people can focus on customers. Our team has deep statistical and research strength. What we need now is someone with real engineering rigour to take our models from prototype to production and make them scale. You’ll build predictive models and the deployment layer they run on. We use AI heavily in how we work: Claude sits beside us for coding and deployment, and Copilot helps review our PRs.
