ABOUT ROCKET MONEY 🔮

Rocket Money’s mission is to empower people to live their best financial lives. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.

ABOUT THE TEAM 🤝

Data Scientists at Rocket Money advance our mission by building products that strengthen customer relationships across our financial offerings. Our team creates machine learning-driven experiences that identify and engage customers who could benefit from mortgage and personal loan products. We work closely with product and engineering teams to develop features that help customers understand, track, and improve their personal finances. Data Scientists also enhance growth operations through ML-powered personalization during onboarding. We seek team players who excel at cross-team collaboration, use data to shape strategy, and deliver solutions effectively within engineering teams. While Data Scientists primarily focus on model development and data preparation, they also contribute to system architecture, design, deployment, and evaluation.

ABOUT THE ROLE 🤹‍♀️

  • Lead end-to-end machine learning and data science product development to power user-facing features and experiences.
  • Become a subject matter expert within a product vertical and be responsible for leading projects from start to finish — making key decisions on both implementation and scope while balancing technical and business goals.
  • Design and conduct experiments to estimate the impact of new products, customer messaging, and marketing. Use experimentation to build the strategic case for more tailored ML product experiences.
  • Work with data engineering and analytics teams to build scalable and durable feature engineering systems.
  • Optimize to continuous product feedback loops — you understand that machine learning product development is the practice of a continuous lifecycle of measurement, analysis, modeling, and hypothesis testing. You understand how to build, test, and deliver user-facing machine learning products in an incremental way.
  • Maintain a high technical bar by mentoring junior team members, participating in code reviews, and ensuring quality in production systems.

In this role, you will focus on the following types of problems:

  • Collaborate closely with Product, Operations, and Engineering teams to define strategy and build user-personalized chatbots.
  • Uncover and exploit relationships between customers’ subscriptions, purchase, and transaction data as you build personalized product experiences and power ever more accurate customer segmentation, propensity, and affiliate targeting models.
  • Continuously improve our transaction metadata to power further enrichments such as semantic search, automatic habit creation, and customized categorization.

ABOUT YOU 🦄

  • 6+ years of professional experience in data science, with proficiency in SQL, statistical modeling, and engineering scalable ML solutions. Experience integrating data products into front-end applications and building durable, scalable backend data systems is a plus.
  • You are a team player with a proven ability to collaborate across teams and communicate technical insights effectively, driving alignment between product strategy and engineering execution.
  • You care about products, not publications. Solving user problems is of key importance for you, not necessarily finding esoteric problems. We love recovering academics that aren’t looking in the rearview.
  • You care just as much about why you're solving a problem as the solution. You always want a deep understanding of context and business impact. You are a data scientist first but an expert analyst when necessary.
  • Excellent writing, presentation, and communication skills. Documenting, soliciting feedback, and securing alignment among collaborators is second nature.
  • Deep experience in several of the following in a professional capacity: building generative AI applications, recommendation systems, customer segmentation and personalization, A/B testing and causal inference, natural language processing, computer vision, deep learning architectures, anomaly detection, or reinforcement learning.
  • Experience in fintech, banking, or finance is a plus.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Rocket Money’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.


Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
