About The Position
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. The Partnerships Acquisitions Data Science team builds the machine learning models that help our co-branded card customers. We prioritize advanced modeling techniques, alternative data sources, and robust infrastructure to enhance decision accuracy and efficiency. The associate is responsible for leading a workstream building the next generation of machine learning models used for credit decisioning. These models will be used for critical business decisions, such as card application approve/decline, product optimization, customer valuation, and more. This work will be conducted in a supportive environment that values your contributions, encourages new responsibilities, promotes ongoing learning, and rewards innovation.
