About The Role
We’re looking for someone to help lead the future of credit applied science at Ramp. The Applied Science team at Ramp creates value by building the models powering decision-making. You will need to have a head for strategy & cross-functional collaboration, since you will partner closely with business & product stakeholders to prioritize, execute, and drive results through improving our Credit Risk decisioning systems. You will also partner closely with the rest of the data team and the engineering team to design, implement, and maintain data science models in production.
Applied scientists at Ramp focuses on solving quantitative problems across credit, fraud, growth, and our core product by applying the right mix of causal inference, structural modeling, and optimization.
What You’ll Do
- Full stack data science development: from upstream data modeling and cleaning, to research and prototyping, to deploying and monitoring models in production and evaluating their business impact
- Contribute to the company roadmap by working closely with stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of prioritization: from complex and nebulous business context, to well-defined objectives, to a roadmap of scoped opportunities for leveraging data science to drive business results
- Improve model performance through new and improved data sources (e.g., accounting and bank statement parsing), advanced feature engineering, and model architecture enhancements
- Ship production-grade ML pipelines including backtesting, retraining, drift monitoring, and business metric attribution
- Design model evaluation and reporting frameworks that satisfy both internal stakeholders and external banking partners
- Contribute to strategic decisions around risk policy and product expansion through ML-backed insights
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and risk strategy teams to integrate models and optimize customer-level outcomes
- Bachelor’s degree or above in Math, Economics, Physics, Computer Science, or other quantitative fields.
- For candidates with Bachelors and Master’s, minimum of 5 years of industry experience as a Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, or equivalent
- Experience working with large datasets in Python and SQL
- Strong familiarity with the mathematical fundamentals of advanced statistics, optimization, and/or economics, as well as methods for experimental design and causal inference
- Experience developing, deploying and maintaining ML systems, including understanding of model performance monitoring, retraining, and feedback loop management in live environments
- Strong communication: the ability to bridge technical methodology to meaningful data narratives to drive company decisions and strategy
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, constantly improving, start-up environment that focuses on delivering customer and business impact with iterative technical solutions
- Ability to break down complex problems rigorously and understand the tradeoffs necessary to deliver impactful roadmaps and projects
- PhD in Math, Economics, Physics, Computer Science, or other quantitative fields
- Experience shipping or maintaining credit risk models, fraud models, or regulated ML systems is a strong plus
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to deploy models that directly impact revenue or loss metrics
- Strong perspective on data science engineering development cycle (data modeling, version control, documentation + testing, best practices for codebase development)
- Experience at a high-growth startup
- 100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you
- Partially covered for your dependents
- One Medical annual membership
- 401k (including employer match on contributions made while employed by Ramp)
