Staff Data Scientist
Self Financial, Austin, TX +2
The role
Team
Credit Analytics. Builds the predictive models that drive our credit and lending decisions. We turn deep knowledge of our data into models that are deployed in production, and we work closely with Risk, Finance, Product, and Engineering to improve how we underwrite, price, and manage our customers’ credit.
Location: Austin, TX
Work Arrangement: Austin – Hybrid or Remote
You’ll build the models, take them into production, and show what they changed for the business. We’re a small company, so you’ll wear many hats and work with engineering to put your models into our decisioning engine. We care less about “here’s the model and here’s what it does” and more about the dollars and percentages it moved, the context behind it, and how clearly you explain it.
What you will do
- Design, build, and validate predictive models in Python that inform credit and lending decisions
- Partner with engineering to deploy models into our decisioning engine and monitor them after launch
