WHO WE ARE

Imprint helps the world's best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com http://Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to create delightful and personalized experiences for members as well as efficient and profitable relationships for our brand partners. Our robust technology and world-class operations allow us and our brand partners to offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.

In the U.S., co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in annual spend, and most still run on decades-old legacy bank systems. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we're building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.

ROLE SUMMARY

The Risk team at Imprint is responsible for making smarter, faster credit decisions that balance growth with responsible risk management. The team builds the models, policies, and analytical systems that power underwriting, fraud detection, and portfolio optimization across all of Imprint’s credit programs.

As a Data Scientist, Risk, you will own the modeling powering Imprint’s top-of-funnel credit decisioning—from application intake through approval—across every acquisition channel: direct affiliates (Credit Karma, NerdWallet), invitation-to-apply emails, direct mail, paid social, instant prescreens, and on-site applications. Your primary focus will be improving approval rates while maintaining credit quality: building better underwriting models, designing policy experiments, and uncovering segments where we can safely expand access to credit.

This role sits at the intersection of credit and acquisition strategy. You will partner directly with Credit Strategy, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to build targeting models for new channels, evaluate channel-level credit performance, and connect acquisition volume to downstream economics—approval rates, vintage loss forecasts, LTV, CAC, and contribution profit. Increasingly, that means building not just analyses but AI-powered systems that can autonomously monitor approval rate, channel performance, diagnose shifts, and recommend policy adjustments.

THE OPPORTUNITY

- Own and improve the full top-of-funnel credit decisioning pipeline: application scoring, policy rules, decline waterfalls, and approval rate optimization across direct affiliates, invitation-to-apply, direct mail, paid social, instant prescreens, and on-site applications

- Build and iterate on underwriting, targeting, and segmentation models that expand safe approvals and improve channel-level acquisition quality

- Design and analyze A/B tests and champion/challenger experiments on credit policies, establishing a test-and-learn cadence with structured readouts on both acquisition and credit performance

- Build channel-level performance models that connect application volume to downstream economics: approval rates, expected losses, LTV, CAC, and contribution profit

- Design and build agentic workflows and AI-powered monitoring systems that autonomously detect approval rate anomalies, diagnose score drift and population mix changes, and recommend policy adjustments

- Partner directly with Credit Strategy, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to develop targeting criteria and risk frameworks for new and emerging acquisition channels

- Build segmentation frameworks to identify underserved populations where credit access can be responsibly expanded

YOUR PROFILE

Required

- 5 to 8+ years of experience in data science, risk analytics, or a related quantitative field, ideally at a high-growth startup or fintech company

- Strong Python and SQL skills, with the ability to build models, transform raw data, and create custom datasets from complex financial data

- Experience building credit risk or targeting models (scorecards, underwriting models, segmentation) or similar predictive modeling in a regulated environment

- Deep understanding of statistical inference, experimentation design, and causal analysis, with the ability to disentangle policy impact from population shifts and channel mix changes

- Comfort with AI tools and AI-native workflows; you actively use tools like Claude, Copilot, or similar to accelerate your work and are excited to build AI-powered analytical systems

- Full-stack problem-solving orientation: you dive into messy data, trace a decline to its root cause, and question assumptions in pursuit of a better answer

- Ability to present complex findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership and external partner stakeholders

- Comfort owning projects end-to-end in a fast-moving startup environment with limited scaffolding, collaborating cross-functionally with Policy, Strategy, Product, and Engineering

Nice to Have

- Experience with credit card underwriting, lending, or consumer credit products

- Familiarity with credit bureau data (Vantage, FICO, tradeline attributes) and alternative data sources

- Experience building or scaling experimentation infrastructure for credit policy testing

- Exposure to fraud detection, KYC/IDV workflows, or application fraud models

- Understanding of acquisition channel economics and experience partnering with marketing or credit strategy teams on targeting and LTV modeling

We don't expect every candidate to check every box. If this role excites you and you bring strong fundamentals, we encourage you to apply.

STACK

Python and SQL for modeling and analysis. Snowflake for data warehousing. AWS infrastructure. Dashboarding and monitoring tools for production systems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
