tilthq - Senior Data Scientist, Methodologies
Requirements
• HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT • Build, train and evaluate deep learning models on Tilt's financial data. • Ship models and model components that plug into Tilt's existing ML pipelines to improve credit modeling and loss prediction. • Own your projects end to end, from hypothesis to a model in use, with general direction from the team's leads. • Work closely with data scientists, engineers, and product partners to turn your results into practical solutions. • Run representation learning experiments — including pretraining and fine-tuning — on real financial data, with a clear design up front and an honest read on what worked. • Share findings and help peers pick up new deep learning methods. • Measure the impact of your models not just by accuracy, but by how they improve outcomes for Tilt's customers and partners. • Use agentic development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) to speed up experimentation, feature engineering and model iteration. • Build and improve specialized agents that support DS workflows.
Benefits
• Hands-on experience building and training deep learning models • Comfort working with modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar). • Experience applying ML to real-world problems, ideally in financial services (credit, lending, payments, or banking). • Experience taking a project from an open question to a measurable business outcome. • Clear, thoughtful communication — you can explain technical ideas in ways others can engage with. • Bonus: hands-on experience building with LLMs or agent frameworks, or excitement to learn. You see agents as a way to multiply what a small, senior team can do. • Don’t meet every qualification? We care about potential over your past. If you're bringing ambition and drive to what we're building, we want to hear from you. • WHAT YOU'LL GET AT TILT • Virtual-first teamwork: The Tilt team is collaborating across 14 countries, 12 time zones, and counting. You’ll get started with a WFH office reimbursement. • Competitive pay: We're big on potential, and it's reflected in our competitive compensation packages and generous equity. • Complete support: Find flexible health plans at every premium level, and substantial subsidies that stand up to global standards. • Visibility is yours: You can count on direct exposure to our leadership team — we’re a team where good ideas travel quickly. • Paid global onsites: Magic happens IRL: we gather twice yearly to reconnect over shared meals or kayaking adventures. (We’ve visited Vail, San Diego, and Mexico City, to name a few.) • Impact is recognized: Growth opportunities follow your contributions, not rigid promotion timelines. • We're looking for people who chase excellence and impact. Those who stand behind their work, celebrating the wins and learning from the missteps equally. We foster an environment where every voice is valued and mutual respect is non-negotiable — brilliant jerks need not apply. We're in this together, working to expand access to fair credit and prove that people are incredible. When you join us, it's not just another day at the office, you're helping millions of hardworking people reach better financial futures. • You’re pushing ahead in your career? We can get behind that.
