Data Scientist — Credit Modeling (Product)

Experience

2–5 years

Background:

Data science with credit risk exposure at / with an NBFC or bank

Location:

Remote

Type:

Full-time

About the role

We're a product company building credit modeling capabilities for the lending ecosystem. We work closely with NBFCs to turn credit risk modeling into a robust, reusable product — not one-off models, but a platform that lenders can rely on.

We're looking for a Data Scientist who understands how credit models are actually built and governed inside NBFCs, and who wants to translate that domain knowledge into a product. You'll sit at the intersection of data science, credit domain expertise, and product engineering.

What you'll do

• Design and build credit modeling capabilities into our product — scorecards, PD/LGD/EAD, behavioral and collections models — as reusable, configurable components rather than bespoke one-offs
• Encode real NBFC credit workflows (WoE/IV binning, segmentation, reject inference, calibration, monitoring) into the product so it reflects how lenders actually work
• Partner with NBFC stakeholders to understand their modeling and governance needs, and translate those into product requirements
• Build pipelines that ingest bureau data (CIBIL, Experian, Equifax, CRIF), transaction data, and alternate data in a generalizable way
• Design model monitoring and explainability into the product (KS, Gini, PSI, SHAP) so it's defensible under RBI / regulatory expectations
• Work with product and engineering to ship features, not just notebooks

What we're looking for

• 2–5 years in data science, with hands-on credit risk modeling at or with an NBFC / bank
• Understanding of the end-to-end credit modeling lifecycle and how it's governed in regulated lending
• Strong Python and SQL; comfort writing production-quality code, not just exploratory notebooks
• Familiarity with bureau data and the Indian lending landscape
• A product mindset — you think about reusability, configurability, and how a model becomes a feature other people rely on

Good to have

• Experience taking models to production (APIs, pipelines, deployment)
• Exposure to model governance / validation / RBI guidelines on credit models
• Familiarity with scorecard tooling (OptBinning, scorecardpy) and interpretability (SHAP, InterpretML)
• Prior experience in a product or platform team, or building tools used by others
