[Remote] Senior Data Scientist, Methodologies

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Tilt is a company focused on transforming traditional finance by using machine learning to create a new credit system. They are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to develop deep learning models that enhance their lending platform and improve financial outcomes for customers.

Responsibilities

• Architecting the Future: You won't just run experiments; you’ll own the development and testing of deep learning architectures (transformers, embeddings, and NNs) that define how Tilt understands risk
• Driving Strategy Across Teams: You’ll partner with peers in Engineering and Product to ensure our models aren't just "smart" in a lab, but effective and scalable in the real world
• Translating Insights into Solutions: You’ll look past the symptoms of a data problem to find the root cause. You’ll define trade-offs and turn complex findings into clear, actionable solutions for our lending platform
• Owning the Workstream: With general direction from leadership, you will take full ownership of your projects—from initial hypothesis to measuring the outcome for our customers
• Elevating the Craft: You’ll share your findings and mentor others, helping the team grow its deep learning capability and ensuring we stay at the cutting edge of the industry
• Measuring What Matters: You’ll define success not just by model accuracy, but by how your work improves financial outcomes for Tilt’s customers and partners

Skills

• Proven track record of building and deploying deep learning models (Neural Networks, Embeddings, or Transformers) using modern frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Applied machine learning to complex, real-world problems, ideally within financial services (credit, lending, or payments)
• Expert at breaking down problems using first principles thinking
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical partners with clarity
• Driven by a purpose to help more people get the 'Yes' they deserve

Benefits

• 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.
• 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.
