Machine Learning Expert
- Full-time
Company Description
Our vision is to revolutionize the way credit operates—from application, to underwriting, to repayment. We build cutting-edge technology and create networks which expand access to cheaper credit, reduce costs for lenders, and help fuel the collaborative economy of tomorrow.
We come from varied backgrounds and bring a unique perspective to lending. We are looking for individuals who are humble, hard working, passionate, friendly, team-oriented, and innovative. We like people who speak their mind and are comfortable with rapid change and uncertainty. We value humor, user-centered design, open communication, curiosity, challenging assumptions, and rapid experimentation. We seek to build groundbreaking technology and marry it with beautiful, intuitive design, and to transform intangible data into smart, holistic decisions.
Data engineering, signal processing, machine learning...these are at the core of our DNA. While we are specialists in technology, we care deeply about solving real business problems. Small business lending is broken. Come help us fix it!
