About the role

Own and improve the full top-of-funnel credit decisioning pipeline: application scoring, policy rules, decline waterfalls, and approval rate optimization across direct affiliates, invitation-to-apply, direct mail, paid social, instant prescreens, and on-site applications Build and iterate on underwriting, targeting, and segmentation models that expand safe approvals and improve channel-level acquisition quality

What they're looking for

  • 5 to 8+ years of experience in data science, risk analytics, or a related quantitative field, ideally at a high-growth startup or fintech company
  • Strong Python and SQL skills, with the ability to build models, transform raw data, and create custom datasets from complex financial data
  • Experience building credit risk or targeting models (scorecards, underwriting models, segmentation) or similar predictive modeling in a regulated environment
  • Deep understanding of statistical inference, experimentation design, and causal analysis, with the ability to disentangle policy impact from population shifts and channel mix changes
  • Comfort with AI tools and AI-native workflows, you actively use tools like Claude, Copilot, or similar to accelerate your work and are excited to build AI-powered analytical systems
  • Full-stack problem-solving orientation: you dive into messy data, trace a decline to its root cause, and question assumptions in pursuit of a better answer
More about this role

Imprint helps the world's best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com , H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to create delightful and personalized experiences for members as well as efficient and profitable relationships for our brand partners.
