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 Credit Risk Management, Loss Forecasting and Allowance team uses the latest technologies and innovative models and data to forecast and optimize future losses associated with Capital One’s credit card portfolio. We partner with model development and software engineering teams to build predictive models and automate insight generation.
