In today’s challenging financial landscape, the path to homeownership can feel out of reach for everyday borrowers. At TrustEngine, we believe these borrowers don't just need a loan; they need a coach. Our mission is to bridge the gap between cold data and human connection. By empowering Loan Officers with cutting-edge AI and predictive intelligence, we transform complex borrower data into highly actionable opportunities. We don't just build software—we engineer the roadmap to financial freedom in a tough market. We are looking for visionary innovators who want to leverage advanced machine learning to make a profound, tangible difference in people's lives. The Role As the Director of Applied Data Science & AI, you will be the primary driving force behind the "engine" in TrustEngine. This is a highly strategic, senior Individual Contributor role focused on applied data science and AI. We value rigorous science, but our ultimate metric for success is shipped products, deployed pipelines, and real-world impact. You will shape our data science strategy by rolling up your sleeves to build the models that directly power our platform. We are looking for an autonomous, pragmatic expert who thrives in ambiguity—someone who can look at high-level business goals, independently determine what the business actually needs, and translate that into production-ready data products through tight collaboration with other engineering teams. What You’ll Do - Drive Applied Business Value: Partner directly with executive leadership to understand strategic goals and proactively identify areas where machine learning and predictive analytics can solve core business problems today. - Pragmatic Modeling & Analysis: Execute the hands-on development of predictive models using a variety of techniques (e.g., K-Means clustering for borrower segmentation, Random Forest models for predictive scoring). You know when to use a simple, fast model versus a complex, heavy one to get the job done. - Pioneer Applied LLM Initiatives: Drive our Generative AI capabilities by designing and implementing LLM-based solutions, specifically utilizing text embeddings and LLM-based classification to extract deep, actionable insights from unstructured data. - Bridge Prototyping and Production: Rapidly prototype new models and concepts, but never stop there. You will seamlessly transition your work to build scalable, robust ML components within production environments like Spark. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Data Engineering and Product teams to architect, deploy, and monitor machine learning models in production data pipelines.
