Job Description

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: 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. 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.

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.
