Who you are

- You have 5+ years of data science experience, ideally with a strong background in fintech, credit, lending, or payments

- You have deep expertise in fraud and/or underwriting. You know how to build models that balance risk and growth, and you understand the nuances of financial data

- You're highly analytical and technical. You are an expert in SQL and Python. You can build, deploy, and monitor models in production. You don't wait for someone else to pull the data

- You understand mobile apps or developer ecosystems, or you're eager to learn this space and how apps earn money at scale

- You act like an owner. You aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves and get something done yourself. You treat RevenueCat's balance sheet, product, and brand like it's your own

- You thrive in ambiguity. You are comfortable making low-information, high-stakes decisions. You can quickly get to confidence, move on, and iterate

- You're a systems thinker. You can step back from the particular and see the process. You look for opportunities to automate and build things that scale, when you've had enough signal to know that you should

- You know when it's good enough. You are obsessed with getting things right, but you know when you're at diminishing returns. You balance detail, speed, and ambition without losing sight of impact
