Description

We’re seeking a highly skilled, execution-focused Senior Data Scientist with a minimum of 5 years of experience. This role demands hands-on expertise in building, deploying, and optimizing machine learning models at scale, while working with big data technologies and modern cloud platforms. You will be responsible for driving data-driven solutions from experimentation to production, leveraging advanced tools and frameworks across Python, SQL, Spark, and AWS. The role requires strong technical depth, problem-solving ability, and ownership in delivering business impact through data science.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy scalable machine learning models into production systems.
• Develop advanced analytics and predictive models using Python, SQL, and popular ML/DL frameworks (Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Leverage Databricks, Apache Spark, and Hadoop for large-scale data processing and model training.
• Implement workflows and pipelines using Airflow and AWS EMR for automation and orchestration.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate models into cloud-based applications on AWS.
• Optimize query performance, storage usage, and data pipelines for efficiency.
• Conduct end-to-end experiments, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, validation, and deployment.
• Drive initiatives independently with high ownership and accountability.
• Stay up to date with industry best practices in machine learning, big data, and cloud-native deployments.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of experience in Data Science or Applied Machine Learning.
• Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and ML libraries (Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Proven expertise in deploying ML models into production systems.
• Experience with big data platforms (Hadoop, Spark) and distributed data processing.
• Hands-on experience with Databricks, Airflow, and AWS EMR.
• Strong knowledge of AWS cloud services (S3, Lambda, SageMaker, EC2, etc.).
• Solid understanding of query optimization, storage systems, and data pipelines.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to design scalable solutions.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work in cross-functional teams.

Benefits

• Best-in-class salary: We hire strong talent and compensate accordingly.
• Proximity Talks: Meet and learn from designers, engineers, product leaders, and AI practitioners.
• Continuous learning: Work with a world-class team and stay close to the latest in AI, engineering, and product development.
• High-impact work: Build AI-first systems and products used at scale by global clients.

About Us

Proximity is the trusted technology, design, and consulting partner for some of the biggest Sports, Media, and Entertainment companies in the world. We’re headquartered in San Francisco and have offices in Palo Alto, Dubai, Mumbai, and Bangalore.

Since 2019, Proximity has built high-impact, scalable products used by millions of users every day. Today, we are a global team of engineers, designers, product managers, and experts solving complex problems and building cutting-edge technology at scale.

The Role

Own end-to-end credit & fraud data science: feature engineering from raw bureau JSON ,SMS,DEVICE, scorecard / model development, Business Rule Engine (BRE) design, monitoring, and partnering with product/engineering to put rules live. You will work directly with the existing DS team,Tech,product and founders — decisions are data-backed and debated.

What you will own

1. Build and maintain credit scorecards and models for FTB and Repeat Borrowers (Xgboost, Random forest, Support Vector Machine Models, ensemble models, challenger models).
2. Engineer features from raw CRIF (or equivalent) bureau JSON — tradelines, enquiries, DPD histories, identity matches — and from raw SMS / FinBox alt-data (collections, rejections, salary, app footprint).
3. Design, validate, and ship Models: hard rejects, soft flags, amount caps — with clear lift/capture

/ approval trade-offs.

1. Own portfolio risk analytics: vintage / DPD / non-starter / POS bad-rate monitoring; propose tier pauses, cool-offs, and ladder-up changes.
2. Build fraud signals (device, SIM/OTP, mule, ring, post-disbursal disappearance) and help prioritise the fraud PRD backlog into production.
3. Partner with engineering to productionise features, rules, and models (Watchtower-style shadow underwriting, policy index, monitoring dashboards).
4. Challenge and refine existing tier/ladder policy with evidence; communicate clearly to founders and business.

Required experience

• Tenure: 5+ years overall experience in data science/analytics.
• Digital lending: Minimum 3 years hands-on in digital lending/consumer credit (NBFC, fintech lender, digital/STPL/) who has built models themselves.
• Scorecards/models: Built and deployed at least one credit scorecard (first-time borrower or repeat borrower, or combined model) into a live BRE / LOS. Should improve approval–bad-rate trade-offs from production experience.
• Bureau: Parsed and engineered features from raw bureau files (CRIF / CIBIL / Experian JSON or XML) — not only vendor-precomputed attributes.
• Non-starter models: Fraud/non-starter / First Payment default modelling experience in short-tenure lending.
• Limit Assignment: Experience with repeat-borrower ladder / limit-management policies.
• Monitoring and QC: Shadow underwriting/champion–challenger frameworks.
• Alt-data: Worked with SMS / alt-data / device / AA signals for underwriting or fraud (FinBox, similar vendors, or in-house SMS parsing).
• Stack: Strong SQL + Python (pandas, sklearn/Logistic / lightgbm/Xgboost/randomforest, statsmodels). Able to write production-quality notebooks and scripts, not just slide decks.
• Communication: Comfortable debating policy with founders/credit heads using data; owns the "show me the evidence" conversation.

Nice to have:

• Feature stores, Airflow/cron pipelines, S3 + Postgres + DynamoDB.
• Prior Experience: Prior work at a zero-to-one digital lender or STPL product.

What success looks like in 6 months

• A documented feature dictionary from raw bureau + SMS with IV/KS ranking.
• At least one new scorecard/model live with clear expected vs observed bad-rate impact.
• Non-starter / First Payment Defaults monitoring with actionable rule recommendations and clear demonstrated improvements in defaults
• Credible pushback on weak policy ideas — backed by analysis, not opinion.

•     Validate model performance using appropriate statistical techniques and domain knowledge.

MLOps & Production Deployment

•     Deploy, monitor, and maintain production-grade ML models using Databricks MLFlow endpoints and Unity Catalog.

•     Implement CI/CD pipelines for model versioning, experiment tracking, and automated retraining.

•     Ensure model reliability, observability, and performance in live production environments.
