This role involves building credit risk models, bridging data science with MLOps, ensuring model reliability, and supporting compliance tasks.
The summary above was generated by AI
This role sits at the intersection of analytics, engineering, and business decisioning. You’ll help modernize how we build, deploy, and monitor credit models — ensuring our models not only perform well analytically but are also scalable, explainable, and production-ready.

Duties & Responsibilities - Strengthen Credit Risk Modeling and Credit Predictability

  • Build and enhance credit risk models that improve credit predictability and portfolio performance.
  • Conduct exploratory data analysis and experiment tracking to identify key risk drivers and optimize model outcomes.
  • Partner closely with Credit Strategy, Implementation, and Feature Platform teams to connect model insights directly to decision flows.
  • Keep our modeling framework adaptive to changing credit dynamics and economic conditions.

Duties & Responsibilities - Bridge Data Science and MLOps for Reliable Model Delivery

  • Own Python project structure, CI/CD setup, and end-to-end testing for reliable model delivery.
  • Collaborate with MLOps and Feature Platform teams to maintain model pipelines (e.g., Metaflow, SageMaker, or equivalent orchestration frameworks).
  • Support model deployment, validation, and performance consistency in production.
  • Drive standardization, automation, and reproducibility across the modeling lifecycle.

Duties & Responsibilities - Support Model Monitoring and Governance

  • Expand and maintain monitoring frameworks for production models.
  • Support compliance reviews, validation exercises, and performance monitoring (e.g., PSI/CSI analysis, reject inference).
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation and ensure transparency across model development and production processes.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related).
  • Master’s or PhD preferred.
  • Strong understanding of the model lifecycle (EDA, modeling, evaluation, deployment).
  • Proficiency in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, etc.) and SQL.
  • Experience with Metaflow or similar orchestration frameworks (e.g., Flyte, ZenML, SageMaker Pipelines).
  • Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS preferred).
  • Experience with model deployment (FastAPI + Docker or similar).
  • Understanding of version control (Git/GitHub), unit testing (pytest), and modern Python tooling (e.g., uv, poetry).
  • Proven accountability, communication, and work ethic — able to deliver high-quality work on time with minimal oversight.

Nice to Have

  • Background in credit risk modeling or lending-related ML applications (e.g., underwriting, loss prediction, fraud detection).
  • Experience integrating ML solutions with decision systems or APIs.
  • Familiarity with model monitoring frameworks or model governance processes.
  • Comfort working in cross-functional teams and presenting technical results to non-technical stakeholders.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
