At Nova Credit, our mission is to power a more fair and inclusive financial system for the world. Our diverse global team is stitching together the world's credit data into a single network to unlock financial opportunities for new-to-country, new-to-credit, and other populations that have been historically marginalized in the credit system. We've developed the world's foremost expertise in credit data connectivity, standardization, analytics, and compliance required to unlock the power of open finance to benefit a broader base of consumers and lenders. We serve some of the world's preeminent firms, including AmEx, HSBC, Scotiabank, SoFi, and Verizon, and our mission is backed by leading investors, such as Canapi, General Catalyst, Index Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, and Y Combinator.

• Increase data observability for customers and stakeholders
• Develop quality controls around our ML-powered services to ensure model effectiveness
• Maintain and improve production ML models such as algorithmic calculations, regression models, and classifiers.
• Develop tooling and frameworks to improve research velocity and outcomes
• Participate in standard engineering activities like technical design, code reviews, on-call support, documentation, and sprint ceremonies.

• 5 years of software engineering experience
• 2 years driving large multi-team software projects from problem statement to ongoing maintenance
• 3 years experience with databases, data warehouses, or data lakes; strong SQL skills
