Job Description
Data Scientist
Pipe
• Partner with senior scientists to forecast cash flows and other drivers of business health using statistical and ML modeling. • Design and build models that make our capital products better for customers and deliver positive return assets. Sharper pricing, lower losses, growth and offers that fit how SMBs actually run. • Proactively mine our datasets for insight, and prototype new models that move the needle for customers and the business. • Own model outcomes end-to-end. Not just deployment bespoke to the platforms Pipe serves (e.g., UberEats and Housecall Pro), but ongoing performance, residual analysis, drift detection, and the judgment calls about when a model needs to be retrained, replaced, or retired. You'll work closely with product, risk peers and engineering to make this real in production.
Job Requirements
- 3-5+ years building ML models, including training, evaluation, and deployment.
- Fluency in Python and the standard stack (NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, etc.).
- Working comfortably with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and standard dev tooling (GitHub, VS Code).
- Strong fundamentals in probability, statistics, and machine learning.
- Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable collaborating across functions and surfacing progress, tradeoffs, and results.
- Bachelor's in CS, Applied/Financial Math, Statistics, Economics, or a related technical field. Master's is a plus, not a requirement.
- Bonus: prior experience in credit risk modeling, underwriting, or adjacent risk decision sciences (insurance pricing, actuarial, fraud) is a strong plus.
Benefits
- The best equipment to help you do your job.
- Flexible vacation and work hours. We believe in a healthy work-life balance (really!)
- Excellent health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous parental leave for anyone who is growing their family, regardless of gender.
- Great colleagues! We value a culture of authenticity, humility, and excellence. We want you to make a mark on our culture.
