Specifically, you will manage a team of ML engineers that builds the models powering the post-origination side of the credit lifecycle using novel ML techniques and rich representations of data to predict repayment behaviour, prioritise and personalise collections, and minimise loss after a loan is originated.
In this role, you will help shape the future of machine learning at Affirm. You'll partner with engineering, product, and risk leaders to design, implement, and scale advanced ML solutions that drive critical capabilities across the company.
