About Zest AI:

Here at Zest AI, we’re leveraging the power of machine learning and big data to challenge the traditional method of credit underwriting. Lending institutions apply our product – Zest Automated Machine Learning (ZAML) – to better assess decisions on loan portfolios; which in response increases revenue, reduces risk, and automates highly regulated compliance measures within fintech. 

Zest is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and encourages professionals from underrepresented groups in technology and financial services to apply.
