⚡About us
At Slope, we empower growing businesses by providing seamless access to capital. We are building a unified platform that serves two main purposes:
1. Direct Business Financing ("Financing by Slope"): We offer businesses the capital they need with instant underwriting and a consumer-grade user experience, making it easier and faster for them to manage their financing needs and focus on growth.
2. Technology Platform for Credit Teams ("Powered by Slope"): Our cutting-edge technology supports credit teams at enterprises and financial institutions, enhancing their ability to manage and extend credit efficiently.
🦾 The Role
You will play a foundational role in building the models and infrastructure powering Slope’s underwriting stack. If the thought of building things from scratch and owning features end-to-end excites you, you’d be a perfect fit!
Building the core risk models powering underwriting. The outputs of these models will determine who we lend to, how much we lend, and what terms we offer – our core business activity.
You will own everything from building pipelines & writing training loops to deploying the model to real-time production code.
Scale and optimize our underwriting service while keeping it low latency
Seeking out new data sources, such as credit bureaus, fraud-detection services, and alternative sources (social media, satellite & street views). Integrating promising APIs into our production & training pipelines.
Building the infrastructure that powers data ingestion, model training, and deployment.
Support the improvement of internal tooling used in financial-based and manual underwriting
