About the role

Shoptalk is seeking a highly analytical Data Scientist to join our Flex Pay BNPL team in San Francisco on a hybrid schedule (Wednesdays and Thursdays). You will build predictive models for credit risk and pricing, analyze large datasets with Python and SQL, and collaborate across risk, product, and engineering to drive decisions. Candidates typically hold an MS or PhD in a quantitative field and have 3–5+ years of experience with ML techniques such as random forests or gradient boosting.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
