Founded in 2020 we are now operating in both Singapore and Malaysia, and are backed by one of the largest conglomerates in the region. We are certified members of the Singapore Fintech Association and the Fintech Association of Malaysia, and we are looking for awesome, talented individuals to join the team and help us deliver more value to our customers!

Credit evaluation represents a core part of our business, and we are constantly looking to optimise our model and to reduce fraud by utilising a data-driven approach.

As a Senior Data Scientist at Ablr you will:
• Take ownership of our proprietary credit-decisioning engine, and make technical decisions such as model selection or technical implementation

Education & Experience
We hold the view that experience and formal education, while beneficial, may not necessarily be the only indicators of a good candidate. The ability for our team members to learn and demonstrate a strong practicing knowledge and expertise of the frameworks and technologies relevant to Ablr’s applications is more important.
As such, a demonstration of substantial industry experience to exemplify competency will suffice. A degree or diploma is NOT a requirement.
