  • Implement creative statistical approaches, including causal analysis, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing.

Data Strategy & Engineering:

  • Build efficient, reusable data pipelines for feature generation and model scoring using Python and SQL.
  • Architect and deploy Agentic AI infrastructures, utilizing both proprietary and commercially available tools.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate models into production environments seamlessly.

Domain-Specific Optimization:

  • Develop models for call center performance, utilizing causal analysis and multi-armed bandits to optimize outreach.
  • Manage collection modeling concepts such as PD calibration, reject inference, and risk segmentation.
  • Partner with agency and portfolio purchase teams to align model outputs with actionable business lending decisions.

Compliance & Infrastructure Evolution:

  • Ensure all models meet strict standards for fairness, interpretability, and adverse action logic.
  • Contribute to the continuous evolution of ClearGrid’s ML infrastructure to improve the efficiency of our AI ecosystem.

Requirements

Educational & Professional Experience:

  • Advanced Degree (Ph.D. / MS) in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
  • 3–5 years of professional experience in AI Science or Machine Learning.
  • Fintech Expertise: Significant experience in credit risk, with a deep understanding of payment systems, banking, and lending products.

Technical Skills:

  • Programming: Authoritative knowledge of Python and SQL.
  • Frameworks: Proficiency in TensorFlow, PyTorch, and tree-based models.
  • ML Techniques: Expertise in deep learning, clustering, time series, and reinforcement learning.
  • Data Engineering: Proven ability to build scalable pipelines and frameworks for large, complex datasets.

Soft Skills:

  • Strong problem-solving abilities and the communication skills necessary to defend model logic to stakeholders.
  • A results-oriented "innovator" mindset, capable of thriving in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Experience with GCP (Vertex AI) or AWS (SageMaker) and orchestration tools like Apache Airflow.
  • MLOps: Strong background in automated retraining, version control, and model monitoring pipelines.
  • Experimentation: Expertise in A/B testing design and advanced statistical analysis.
