Data Scientist

We are building out our team to support the increasing regulatory filings and data requests related to analytical and modeling methodologies. This role sits at the intersection of data science, data engineering, and regulatory compliance, supporting both advanced analytics work and responses to regulatory inquiries.
The Data Scientist will contribute hands-on data science and analytics while also helping articulate and justify how data science methodologies comply with regulatory guidelines—particularly as regulatory bodies move from issuing high-level guidance to asking detailed questions about modeling approaches and techniques.
