This role will partner closely with Product Development, Product Management, Risk Intelligence, and Marketing.
POSITION OVERVIEW
In this role, your focus will be to develop Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) models, algorithms, simulations, and experiments that bridge operational needs with strategic vision. In addition, you will be responsible for identifying, collecting, and validating data sets that are both open source (via web scraping) and proprietary. You will learn current processes, build data backed solutions, automate solutions, launch your work to production, and audit implementation.  In the simplest terms, we want candidates who have experience building models to solve real industry problems that have been deployed in a real production software environment and where the model performance was really important.
