PrincipalData Scientist,Credit Risk Management
Data is at the center of everything we do. As a startup, we disrupted the credit card industry by individually personalizing every credit card offer using statistical modeling and the relational database, cutting edge technology in 1988! Fast-forward a few years, and this little innovation and our passion for data has skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in the world of data-driven decision-making.
As a Data Scientist at Capital One, you'll be part of a team that's leading the next wave of disruption at a whole new scale, using the latest in computing and machine learning technologies and operating across billions of customer records to unlock the big opportunities that help everyday people save money, time, and agony in their financial lives.
Team Description
Have you ever seen the headline in the news " Banks Pass Federal Reserve Stress Tests " and wondered how Capital One determines how much savings (or "capital") it needs? Or maybe how we analyze the potential impact of the next recession? At the heart of these questions are sophisticated machine learning and econometric loss models that help us understand the ways in which the economy impacts our loan portfolios and guide strategic decision making at the highest levels of Capital One.
In the Credit Risk Management Modeling and Data Team, we blend cutting-edge quantitative methods with a deep understanding of our business, data, and regulatory environment to build predictive models for losses, account volumes, and outstanding balances. These models drive key strategic decisions for allowance setting, stress testing, and capital allocation as well as informing our earnings calls and recession preparedness.
If this sounds interesting to you, join us! As a Data Scientist on our team you'll be at the forefront helping us to usher in the next wave of disruption by using the latest technology to build & deploy machine learning models that leverage new data sources to provide powerful insights about our portfolio and growth opportunities. You will partner with best-in-class data scientists, analysts, and engineers to innovate solutions that directly impact the company's bottom line in a meaningful way. You will do it all in a collaborative environment that values your insight, encourages you to take on new responsibilities, promotes continuous learning, and rewards innovation.
