About Possible
Since our founding, we have redefined how people approach small-dollar loans-delivering over $1 billion in funding to more than 1.5 million customers, issuing over 4 million loans, and saving our customers more than $650 million.
At Possible, we're building a new type of consumer finance company; one that helps our customers stay out of debt rather than profit from their staying in it. We are a Public Benefit Corporation with the mission to help communities unlock economic mobility through affordable credit products crafted to improve financial health for generations. Join the team that's making our goal a reality.
About the job
Team Introduction
Our data science team sits at the center of a growing company, building the models, tools, and analytical infrastructure that power how Possible makes decisions, monitors risk, and operates with rigor at scale. We are seeking a Data Scientist to work at the intersection of analytics, model governance, and internal tooling - growing our capacity to support the teams and systems that help Possible move fast and make good decisions.
The Role
You will own a structured framework to evaluate new data sources and modeling techniques. Your analyses will include clear assumptions that guide our data vendor budget and investment decisions. You will build out model monitoring and governance infrastructure - turning it from a reactive compliance exercise into a proactive utility. Working cross-functionally, you'll collaborate with internal teams to develop analytical tools and automations that ease bottlenecks. This enables other teams to access data independently and find answers without relying on advanced analytics repeatedly.
What You'll Bring
Must-Have
- 2-4 years of hands-on experience in data science or analytics
- Strong Python and SQL skills for analysis and automation
- Proven statistical foundation: you can frame a hypothesis, develop a meticulous test, and communicate results - including their limitations - to non-technical partners
- Strong data visualization skills
- A service mentality: you build things people actually use, you get happiness from unblocking others, and you know how to balance rigor with shipping
Preferred
- Background in consumer finance or credit risk
- Experience with model governance or model validation
- Experience with AI or LLM platforms in an applied context
- Track record supporting cross-functional teams with analytical work
- Testing or QA mentality - validating that what was built does what it should
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with dbt or Airflow
- Dashboard design and management experience

What We Do
Possible Finance is on a mission to make financial health possible for everyone. We build products for the millions of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck, face unpredictable income, or can't get a fair shot from traditional banks and credit systems — people who are routinely ignored or penalized by mainstream financial institutions. That's why our products are designed differently. We offer a growing suite of short-term and installment credit options with clear terms, flexible repayment, and no predatory fees. And because a credit score alone doesn't tell the full story, we underwrite using cash-flow and behavioral data, giving people access to credit when others won't. We take a compliance-forward approach to everything we build. In a highly scrutinized industry where many competitors struggle or shut down, designing products that protect customers and hold up to regulatory standards isn't a constraint. It's how we earn trust and stay in the game long-term. Since founding in 2017 in Seattle, we've served over 1.5 million customers and funded more than $1 billion in loans. And we're just getting started — expanding our products, serving more customers, and pushing further every day to end the debt cycle and help more people unlock economic mobility. Come build with a team of mission-driven colleagues and do the most meaningful work of your career.
Why Work With Us
Traditional financial institutions weren't built for the customers we serve — and it shows. Possible was created with those customers in mind: fair underwriting, transparent products, and a genuine commitment to their financial wellbeing. We believe access to credit shouldn't be limited to a select few — and we're actually doing something about it.
