Why this role You will own our foundation model program end to end - from research direction to models running in production and driving real credit decisions. Your models directly move the numbers that matter: cost of risk, approval rates, and portfolio NPV across a fast-scaling credit portfolio.
Responsibilities
- Build an end-to-end foundation model over financial event sequences - transactions, credit bureau data, and in-app behavioral events with subsequent fine-tuning for downstream business tasks: underwriting (PD), credit limit strategy, fraud detection, collections, and propensity models.
- Drive technical decisions end-to-end: methodology → implementation → performance and latency → robustness, interpretability, and regulatory compliance.
- Research state-of-the-art approaches in the industry, publish your own work, and speak at leading conferences.
- Communicate results clearly to cross-functional stakeholders: product, risk, business, and leadership.
