About the Role
We’re looking for someone to help lead the future of data science at Ramp. The Data Science team at Ramp creates value by optimizing core leverage points across the business and owning the models powering decision-making. You will need to have a head for strategy & cross-functional collaboration, since you will partner closely with business & product stakeholders to prioritize, execute, and drive results. You will also partner closely with the rest of the data team and the engineering team to design, implement, and maintain data science models in production.
Inference & estimation data science at Ramp focuses on solving quantitative problems across credit, fraud, growth, and our core product by applying the right mix of causal inference, structural modeling, and optimization.
What You’ll Do


Develop Ramp’s research and experimentation frameworks by developing causal inference based models and tools to drive analysis
Full stack data science development: from upstream data modeling and cleaning, to research and prototyping, to deploying and monitoring models in production
Contribute to the company roadmap by working closely with stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of prioritization: from complex and nebulous business context, to well-defined objectives, to a roadmap of scoped opportunities for leveraging data science to drive business results
Leverage a combination of causal inference, structural modeling and optimization to build key models to solve core business problems
Formulate backtesting frameworks to empirically validate model performance
Design, implement, and evaluate statistically-sound experiments to measure the causal impact of treatments and interventions
