ABOUT OUR COMPANY:
The crushing weight of debt is something that we believe holds people back from reaching their dreams and making a splash in the world. So in 2013, after seeing our friends and family struggle with student loans, we created Splash Financial. 

Over the years, our mission has expanded to include helping people with other forms of debt - such as refinancing credit cards, which are at all time highs in the US. And we’ve been able to refinance $6+ Billion in loans through our network of Splash, powered credit union and bank partners who leverage our marketplace and automated loan processing technology. And we’ve raised over $70 million from investors like partners of DST Global, Citi Ventures, TruStage Ventures, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners, and more.

But at our core, we’re still that little company from Cleveland with a big dream: to make people more powerful than their debt and we’re just getting started..

ABOUT OUR WORKPLACE:

Splash is remote-first, and proud of it. 

We spend our days simplifying financial products and getting them into the hands of people who need them most. Right now, we’re focused on building financial technologies that fundamentally transform how the industry lends.

Although Splash has been around since 2013, we still operate like a startup — fast-paced, nimble, and full of heart. We’re good people who care deeply about doing meaningful work and we approach challenges with creativity, passion, and urgency.

And to hire the best, we provide the best: great health insurance, competitive salaries, and unique benefits like quarterly meet-ups and access to engagement tools that keep us connected — even from afar.

At Splash, everything we do is guided by our values:

Own It – We take full accountability and follow through on commitments.

Raise the Bar – We move fast, innovate faster, and push through barriers.

Say the Hard Thing – We speak up with honesty, respect, and a desire to solve problems and make things better.

Elevate Each Other – We win as a team by lifting each other up.

These values show up in how we work and how we connect — whether we’re collaborating on big projects or bonding over everyday moments. Yes, we even have Slack channels for #kids-and-pets and #food because we believe being human makes us better teammates.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Splash Financial is seeking a highly analytical and creative Data Scientist to join our growing Credit team. In this role, you’ll play a critical part in shaping the future of our lending programs by leveraging data, building models, and presenting insights that directly influence business strategy. You’ll collaborate closely with leadership, cross-functional teams, and lending partners to identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and ensure we deliver on both growth and credit expectations.
This is a unique opportunity to combine technical expertise with strategic impact—your work will not only guide key decisions but also help us scale responsibly in a dynamic fintech environment. At Splash, you’ll have the chance to grow alongside a collaborative, fully remote team that values curiosity, innovation, and a data-first mindset.

WHAT YOU’LL DO AT SPLASH:
  • Analyze and interpret complex data to uncover actionable insights that drive business decisions.
  • Develop clean, efficient Python code to support data analysis, automation, and modeling.
  • Conduct robust quantitative analyses to identify risks and opportunities, helping us exceed credit performance expectations while supporting growth.
  • Present insights and recommendations to the Credit Committee and lending partners with clarity and impact.
  • Contribute to our collaborative, fully remote culture by sharing ideas, knowledge, and best practice.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO SPLASH:
  • A strong quantitative mindset—naturally curious and confident working with large datasets.
  • Creativity and a willingness to challenge assumptions with fresh perspectives.
  • 1–2 years of hands-on experience with SQL and Python for data queries and A/B testing analysis (required). Fintech or credit risk experience is a plus.
  • Familiarity with loss forecasting models in Python (big plus).
  • Excellent communication skills—able to collaborate across teams, influence stakeholders, and present findings effectively.
  • A bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (master’s degree preferred).
COMPENSATION:

The base salary range for this role is $110,000 - $130,000 annually, based on market data and internal compensation practices.  Final compensation will be determined by factors such as location, experience, and skill level.

SPLASHERS ENJOY:

  • Fully remote work freedom
  • Competitive salary packages
  • Flexible PTO + 9 company holidays
  • Equity: Share in our start-up success
  • Comprehensive and affordable insurance benefits
  • Paid parental leave for both caregivers
  • Essential equipment to get the job done
  • 401(k) for your future savings
  • Quarterly meet-ups: In person & virtual fun
