Senior Data Scientist Software Engineering & Development · Aarhus, Denmark

Ready to revolutionize the world of banking with cutting-edge machine learning and GenAI? Do you dream of working in a dynamic fintech company where your efforts make a real impact? 💫
At Lunar we are democratizing the power of money and changing the way we all bank, pay, and invest. Since starting in Aarhus in 2015, we've grown rapidly and are now a major player in the Nordics, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Stockholm 🚀

So who are we? Are we a tech company or a bank? Well, we're both, breaking free from the usual categories. Here, tech isn't just a cool add-on; it's the core of how we do things. With our own banking license, we go head-to-head with traditional banks. What sets us apart is the mix of tech and financial services, giving us the power to shake up a dusty industry that's ready for a change.

As we continue our journey to becoming the best everyday bank in the Nordics, we're seeking a Senior Data Scientist to be a key driver in leveraging data and machine learning to optimize our operations, enhance customer experience, and mitigate risks. You'll develop and deploy advanced ML models across a wide range of applications and teams, from financial crime prevention and fraud detection to customer risk scoring and sales optimization. You'll also explore and implement cutting-edge GenAI solutions to further automate and improve our systems and platforms. As our new Senior Data Scientist, you'll join our Squad Perseverance team, reporting to Rolf Njor Jensen. The team comprises dedicated individuals working in Aarhus, focusing on leveraging data to drive innovation within our Technology function, led by Kåre Kjelstrøm.

What will you do?

• ML Model Development and Deployment: Design, develop, deploy and maintain robust machine learning- and statistical models for various applications, including fraud detection, transaction monitoring, loan risk assessment, customer risk scoring and sales/lead generation.
• GenAI Exploration and Implementation: Research, evaluate, and implement GenAI solutions to automate processes, improve decision-making, and enhance customer interactions.
• Data Analysis and Feature Engineering: Perform in-depth data analysis, feature engineering, and model evaluation to ensure optimal model performance.
• Collaboration: Work closely with data engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to define project requirements, deliver actionable insights, and drive data-driven decision-making.
• Staying Current: Keep abreast of the latest advancements in machine learning and GenAI, and apply them to improve Lunar's data capabilities.
• Documentation: Maintain clear and concise documentation of models, methodologies, and results.
