We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist to join our Risk Analytics team, working on critical decision-making systems. You will work on end-to-end ML solutions that support key risk processes. The role is strongly focused on production-grade Machine Learning, with increasing emphasis on building scalable, reliable, and explainable models used in daily risk decisioning.

Challenges that await you

  • Develop and improve ML models for credit application approval and credit limit assignment.
  • Build ML-based decision frameworks and analytical tools for credit portfolio management.
  • Translate business problems (risk, profitability, growth) into data science solutions.
  • Work end-to-end: data analysis, feature engineering, model training, validation, and deployment.
  • Collaborate with product, risk, and portfolio teams to ensure models drive measurable business impact.
  • Continuously improve existing models and pipelines in a production environment.
  • Balance model performance, interpretability, and business constraints.

What makes you a great fit

  • 4+ years of professional experience as a Data Scientist.
  • Strong, hands-on experience with Machine Learning in production.
  • Proven track record of delivering measurable business impact using ML (e.g. revenue uplift, cost reduction, risk improvement, user growth).
  • Experience deploying models end-to-end — from idea to production.
  • Solid understanding of classical ML and modern approaches.
  • Mathematical or technical education from the following universities: MSU, MIPT, HSE, MSTU, MEPhI, NSE (preferred).
  • Ability to explain complex models and results to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience in fintech, credit risk, or portfolio management is a strong plus.

Our ways of working

  • Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions.
  • Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication.
  • Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community.
  • Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together.
  • High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who dare to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances.

Our benefits

  • Relocation support to Mexico with assistance for the employee and their family.
  • Flexible work: hybrid or full-time from our office in Mexico.
  • Healthcare Coverage.
  • Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certifications.
  • Wellness Budget: Mental health and fitness activity reimbursements.
  • Vacation policy: 20 days of annual leave and paid sick leave.
