The role

A data scientist at a financial services company develops credit risk models and production machine learning systems, building Python and PySpark pipelines for decision engines. Model deployment, AWS, and model monitoring support scalable, low-latency inference and robust business decisioning.

Full job description

We are looking for a hands-on Data Scientist / ML Engineer to build and deploy credit risk and decisioning

models for an NBFC/banking environment. The role focuses on production-grade machine learning systems,

including model development, deployment, scalability, and integration into decision engines. This is not a

research-heavy AI role-the expectation is strong ownership of end-to-end pipelines, from data to production,

with emphasis on robustness, performance, and business impact.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Credit Risk & Decisioning Models

Develop and maintain models for:

Credit risk (PD, delinquency, segmentation)

Customer behaviour (collections, engagement, response)

Income estimation / surrogate modelling (where applicable)

Work with bureau data (e.g., CIBIL/CRIF), transactional data, and alternative data sources

Translate business policies into model-driven decision frameworks

2. Data Engineering & Feature Pipelines

Build scalable feature pipelines using:

- Python / PySpark / SQL

Handle large-scale datasets (structured + semi-structured)

Implement robust feature engineering (e.g., bureau features, exposure, EMI, leverage, etc.)

3. Model Deployment & Integration

Deploy models into production systems using:

- Docker, Kubernetes, or similar containerization tools

Integrate models with decision engines / APIs

Ensure low-latency and high-throughput inference pipelines

4. MLOps, Testing & Monitoring

Implement:

- Integration testing for model pipelines

- Stress testing (performance under load)

- Model monitoring (drift, stability, performance)

-

Work with DevOps teams to ensure reliable production systems

Handle versioning, rollback strategies, and model lifecycle management

5. Cloud & Infrastructure

Work on AWS-based environments (or equivalent cloud platforms)

Understand distributed systems and compute optimization

Optimize pipelines for performance and cost?

6. Cross-functional Collaboration

Work closely with:

- Risk teams

- Product / business stakeholders

- Data engineering & platform teams

Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions
