Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of professional experience in data science, with proficiency in SQL, statistical modeling, and engineering scalable ML solutions. Experience integrating data products into front-end applications and building durable, scalable backend data systems is a plus
- You are a team player with a proven ability to collaborate across teams and communicate technical insights effectively, driving alignment between product strategy and engineering execution
- You care about products, not publications. Solving user problems is of key importance for you, not necessarily finding esoteric problems. We love recovering academics that aren’t looking in the rearview
- You care just as much about why you're solving a problem as the solution. You always want a deep understanding of context and business impact. You are a data scientist first but an expert analyst when necessary
- Excellent writing, presentation, and communication skills. Documenting, soliciting feedback, and securing alignment among collaborators is second nature
- Deep experience in several of the following in a professional capacity: building generative AI applications, recommendation systems, customer segmentation and personalization, A/B testing and causal inference, natural language processing, computer vision, deep learning architectures, anomaly detection, or reinforcement learning
- Experience in fintech, banking, or finance is a plus
What the job involves
- Data Scientists at Rocket Money advance our mission by building products that strengthen customer relationships across our financial offerings
- Our team creates machine learning-driven experiences that identify and engage customers who could benefit from mortgage and personal loan products
- . We work closely with product and engineering teams to develop features that help customers understand, track, and improve their personal finances
- Data Scientists also enhance growth operations through ML-powered personalization during onboarding
- We seek team players who excel at cross-team collaboration, use data to shape strategy, and deliver solutions effectively within engineering teams
- While Data Scientists primarily focus on model development and data preparation, they also contribute to system architecture, design, deployment, and evaluation
- Lead end-to-end machine learning and data science product development to power user-facing features and experiences
- Become a subject matter expert within a product vertical and be responsible for leading projects from start to finish — making key decisions on both implementation and scope while balancing technical and business goals
- Design and conduct experiments to estimate the impact of new products, customer messaging, and marketing. Use experimentation to build the strategic case for more tailored ML product experiences
- Work with data engineering and analytics teams to build scalable and durable feature engineering systems
- Optimize to continuous product feedback loops — you understand that machine learning product development is the practice of a continuous lifecycle of measurement, analysis, modeling, and hypothesis testing. You understand how to build, test, and deliver user-facing machine learning products in an incremental way
- Maintain a high technical bar by mentoring junior team members, participating in code reviews, and ensuring quality in production systems
- Collaborate closely with Product, Operations, and Engineering teams to define strategy and build user-personalized chatbots
- Uncover and exploit relationships between customers’ subscriptions, purchase, and transaction data as you build personalized product experiences and power ever more accurate customer segmentation, propensity, and affiliate targeting models
- Continuously improve our transaction metadata to power further enrichments such as semantic search, automatic habit creation, and customized categorization
Our take
Managing finances has become increasingly difficult in the last couple of decades, despite access to online banking and other financial apps. The mass of subscriptions, standing orders and utility bills the average American is subject to ultimately makes it difficult to assess and manage their finances within one place.
Rocket Money (formerly Truebill) provides a mobile application that includes a variety of tools that aim to simplify financial management. Tools include an automatic subscription tracker which aims to increase transparency and simplicity for canceling unwanted subscriptions, in addition to monthly spending analytics and budgeting plans.
Whilst there seems to be an app for just about every form of financial management, Rocket Money has taken much-needed action by unifying everything into a single app. Whilst the company initially focused on financial management tools, it's now branched out to more direct financial tools such as utility bill comparison services, autopilot saving and paycheque advance loans.
