About the job

Leads data science for a core credit-building product area, shaping measurement, experimentation, AI-product evaluation, modeling, and product decisions.

What you'll do

  • Own product-area measurement and experimentation, including metrics, causal analysis, rollout recommendations, and the broader measurement framework.
  • Evaluate AI product surfaces by defining quality criteria, validating automated scorers against human judgment, and creating regression tests from real product failures.
  • Build and evaluate models, partner with cross-functional leads on roadmap decisions, and help set data science practices and mentor teammates.

What they ask for

  • Partner with product, engineering, and marketing peers across strategy, goal setting, approach, and execution.
  • Define metrics from scratch and establish them as a team's operating measures.
  • Design and run experimentation programs, including situations without clean randomization; understand quasi-experimental and causal inference methods and their limitations.
  • Hands-on production-quality SQL and Python; experience with product decision-making models, daily use of AI tools in analytical work, and presenting data-driven decisions to senior audiences.

Nice to have

  • Built or ran an evaluation program for an LLM-based product.
  • Consumer fintech experience, built experimentation or causal inference practice, productionized or challenged models, or mentored data scientists.
