Data Scientist Mumbai

SYNTELLECT Data Scientist RightProfile™ · Mumbai (Hybrid) · Full time · 2–3 yrs THE ROLE Syntellect is building the intelligence layer for lending in markets where bureau data stops. RightProfile™ — our field AI platform is live across India and East Africa, and expanding into current geographies fast. We need a Senior Data Scientist who operates in two modes simultaneously: driving continuous innovation across our existing suite of AI capabilities, and going out into the field literally sitting with lenders, loan officers, and borrowers to surface the insights that become our next generation of products. WHAT YOU WILL OWN Drive innovation across our existing AI modules — image intelligence, voice-to-structured-data, document pre-underwriting, and multi-signal triangulation — identifying accuracy gaps, introducing new model architectures, and pushing performance benchmarks Conduct on-ground customer immersions: accompany field officers, observe loan origination in real conditions, and convert unstructured field knowledge into hypotheses for new product capabilities Conceptualise and prototype new modules end-to-end — from customer pain-point to proof-of-concept to production — working directly with the CTO and Founder-CEO Refine and expand our surrogate income and creditworthiness classification logic across trade segments and geographies, calibrating models to loan officer ground truth rather than bureau proxies Act as the primary data science liaison with active clients — lead performance reviews, explain model behaviour to credit heads and CXOs, and translate field feedback into a clear improvement roadmap Monitor live deployments across geographies; detect model drift early and ship fixes rapid — this is an environment where days matter, not sprints Build evaluation frameworks — precision/recall, NPA lift, Gini, KS — and convert them into ROI narratives that resonate with credit risk and product leaders Contribute to research and outcome measurement
