We're seeking an exceptional Lead Data Scientist to drive AI/ML innovation within our Technology team.

  • Analyze complex, multi-modal datasets—including financial records, commercial data, alternative data sources, and temporal patterns—to extract actionable intelligence and improve model performance

  • Develop automated monitoring systems to continuously track model accuracy, fairness, drift, and regulatory compliance

  • Collaborate with Engineering teams to integrate ML models into production systems, enabling autonomous real-time decision-making at scale

  • Evaluate and implement the optimal statistical and modeling approaches—from traditional techniques like logistic regression and segmentation to modern deep learning architectures—based on problem requirements

  • Champion a culture of experimentation, innovation, and continuous learning within the data science organization

What Sets You Apart

  • Deep expertise analyzing diverse data types—financial, commercial, behavioral, demographic, telephonic—across various formats including structured, unstructured, time series, and real-time streaming data

  • Strong command of the complete ML lifecycle from problem formulation through production deployment, monitoring, and iteration

  • Proficiency with modern ML frameworks, cloud platforms, and MLOps tools for building scalable AI systems

  • Proven track record selecting and applying advanced statistical and ML techniques—classification, regression, clustering, ensemble methods, neural networks—to drive business outcomes

  • Ability to balance technical sophistication with pragmatic delivery, knowing when to leverage state-of-the-art methods versus proven approaches

  • Strong business acumen with demonstrated ability to connect data science initiatives to revenue growth, cost reduction, and strategic objectives

Why Join Fundwell

  • Generous paid time off

  • 401(k) retirement plan

  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement within a rapidly growing fintech leader.
