Our take: The real work here is being an early, hands-on ML leader who ships models into a fast-growing business bank and owns the journey from problem to measured impact.

This is a chance to be one of the first ML Scientists shaping how a fast-growing business bank uses machine learning, from a blank page through to models serving hundreds of thousands of small businesses. You will stay hands-on with Python and modern ML while setting standards, mentoring, and deciding when ML, GenAI, or something simpler is the right call. If you love owning the whole journey from business problem to measured production impact, and you care about doing it responsibly where trust really matters, this will feel like your kind of work.
