Обязанности
- Figure’s Property Analytics team is seeking a Senior Applied Scientist to join us in our effort to reinvent real estate lending. You will be working alongside engineering, product, and business leaders to tackle complex research and machine learning problems related to automated valuation models (AVMs), asset valuation, and process optimization.
- An ideal candidate brings deep expertise in advanced machine learning, statistical modeling, and production-grade AI system architectures. You will lead technical direction, mentor team members, and partner closely with MLOps engineers, Product Managers, Credit Risk Management and Capital Markets subject matter experts to drive select strategic initiatives from initial research to production deployment. If you are keen on joining a dynamic company and solving intellectually challenging problems in a fast-paced environment, please reach out to us.
- Lead the end-to-end design, architecture, development, and deployment of state-of-the-art automated valuation modeling (AVM) systems for novel lending products.
- Architect and refine innovative machine learning, deep learning, and statistical models for asset valuation, incorporating spatial-temporal trends, macroeconomic factors, market liquidity, and property risk dynamics.
- Establish robust quantitative frameworks for continuous model performance assessment, monitoring, and automated retraining across changing real estate cycles.
- Build analytical tools and frameworks to empower cross-functional teams across risk, underwriting, and capital markets.
- Partner closely with data infrastructure and MLOps engineering teams to drive initiatives that enhance data capabilities, build feature stores, and streamline real-time inference infrastructure.
- Design useful data attributes and feature representations, leveraging structured, unstructured, and multimodal data sources (e.g., property photos, listing descriptions, spatial features).
- Perform exploratory data analysis, evaluate frontier AI capabilities, and make strategic recommendations to improve current decisioning frameworks and valuation accuracy.
- Refactor and optimize existing analytical solutions and algorithmic components to improve scalability, reliability, and execution efficiency.

- Proven track record of developing statistical and machine learning models at an account, customer, or real estate asset level.
- Solid understanding and hands-on application of advanced machine learning techniques, deep learning, spatial analytics, and AI capabilities.
- Strong production-level programming skills in Python, SQL, and R.
- Demonstrated experience in technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring junior team members.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical, algorithmic, and mathematical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
Будет плюсом
- Hands-on experience developing, evaluating, and deploying Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) or automated appraisal systems.
- Exposure to time-to-event/survival analysis, financial econometric modeling, or spatial-temporal forecasting.
- Experience handling and modeling unstructured data, including computer vision or natural language processing applications in real estate.
- Proficiency with distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Spark) and modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
- Experience with Monte Carlo simulations, Bayesian inference, or causal machine learning.
- Familiarity with MLOps best practices, cloud architecture (AWS/GCP), feature stores, and model serving infrastructure.
- Progress towards or completion of relevant quantitative/financial certifications (e.g., FRM or CFA).
