About the Role
Findigs runs an AI underwriting engine (DecisionAssist) that makes or influences thousands of rental decisions every week. As a Data Scientist, you will strengthen our data science and applied machine learning depth by owning hands-on model development, experimentation design, and ML-adjacent analysis that directly impacts renter and property manager outcomes. This is a highly technical, high-ownership role for a data scientist who wants to build and improve production models, bring statistical rigor to product decisions, and grow into broader strategic scope.
Responsibilities
- Own feature engineering, model iteration, and evaluation for DecisionAssist.
- Work across operational model work in the DA/CAV1 serving layer.
- Conduct analytics-focused modeling in Snowflake for experimentation and research.
- Partner with Product and Engineering on identifying relevant signals.
- Design and analyze experiments across underwriting, renter-facing, and PMC-facing product changes.
- Build and maintain models used in screening logic (e.g., delinquency risk, income estimation, fraud signals).
- Write clean Python, work in dbt, and operate in a modern data stack.
- Tackle high-impact, ad-hoc questions from Product and Customer teams regarding variance drivers, cohort behavior, and signal prediction.
Requirements
- 4+ years of hands-on data science or applied ML experience (fintech, proptech, or other high-stakes decisioning environments preferred).
- Strong Python skills (pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels or equivalent).
- Ability to design, run, and interpret A/B tests independently.
- Strong SQL skills and comfort working in a modern data stack (dbt, Snowflake, Sigma, or similar).
- Solid grounding in supervised learning fundamentals (classification, regression, tree-based methods).
- Strong written communication and the ability to explain model behavior and tradeoffs to non-technical partners.
- Intellectual curiosity about housing and credit data.
