As part of our Data Science team, you’ll be working on our regression models, data pipelines, deployment, validation, feature engineering processes, etc. In a scale-up like Floryn a diverse skill set is invaluable. The goal is to make the best possible predictions to improve the credit-risk process (PD, LGD, Labelling). Our hierarchy is flat and communication is direct, therefore we can operate and adapt quickly. All our stakeholders are internal and mainly come from the Risk and Development team.

Technology

We have a technology neutral mindset to engineering and believe in well-tested, robust code. We love open source but are not religious about any specific language or framework. We work with modern open source technology such as Polars, DuckDB, scikit-learn, uv, ruff, FastAPI and onnx. We are using Machine Learning models in production and are managing of all the infrastructure around these models that is needed for them to perform well. We’re big on continuous integration and deployment, automated testing and Kanban, pull-based processes.

We don’t have code monkeys. Instead, we give you a problem and trust you will come up with an outstanding solution. We prioritize sustainable work-life balance, allowing you to bring your best self to work every day. We do things our own way, we ship code every day and we take pride in our work.
