Data Science & Product Management Lead

We are an early-stage, venture-backed fintech that focuses on bringing affordable credit and financial services to small, informal business owners (micro-PYMEs) across LatAm - starting with Mexico.

We launched last year with a unique group-focused installment loan product, and now have expanded to launch a unique credit card.

We are the world’s first credit card to include a group lending feature, and the first credit card in Mexico focused on lending to the mainstream market of informal small business entrepreneurs, which comprise 90% of all businesses in the country.

We are backed by top venture investors across the US and Mexico, and our co-founding team has spent their careers working in fintech and entrepreneurship.

Requirements

We are looking for a hard-working and highly entrepreneurial data scientist / machine learning engineer and product management lead to join our team and work with the co-founders to build and refine our initial machine learning model for automated credit issuance.

You will have primary ownership over managing our machine learning model to allow us to instantly approve new credit lines at low loss rates.

You will have immense responsibilities and ownership across a small and highly capable team.

Your main responsibilities are to:

• Build our automated credit model
• Continuously improve and refine models focused on loss rates and profitability
• Work closely with the CEO and MX country manager to apply modeling and data science to other aspects of our business – especially acquisition and unit profitability

Our ideal candidate would also be comfortable in also helping lead core parts of product management - including overseeing engineering sprints, writing user stories, and setting a roadmap.

We are open to highly intelligent, motivated candidates who have limited product management experience but are willing to learn fast.

Benefits

In addition to working at an early stage fast moving startup - you will qualify for equity (stock option grants), competitive compensation and any bonuses, paid time off and holidays.
