Tech Lead MLOps - Decision Technology Hybrid in London / Remote within the UK The company Small businesses move fast. Opportunities often don’t wait, and cash flow pressures can appear overnight. To keep going, and growing, SMEs need finance that’s as flexible and responsive as they are. That's why we built iwoca. Our smart technology, data science and five-star customer service ensures business owners can act with the speed, confidence and control they need, exactly when it's needed. We’ve already cleared the way for 100,000 businesses with more than £4 billion in funding. Our passionate team is driven to help even more SMEs succeed, through access to better finance and other services that make running a business easier. Our ultimate mission is to support one million SMEs in their defining moments, creating lasting impact for the communities and economies they drive. The team The Credit Risk team builds and maintains the technology and models that determine who iwoca lends to, how much, and on what terms. Their work covers credit scoring, scorecard development, approval thresholds, and portfolio monitoring – all working to maximise lending volume without taking on disproportionate risk. The team has nine data scientists, four engineers, and two strategy analysts. The data scientists analyse past data and make the models; the engineers build and maintain the supporting infrastructure; and the strategy analysts translate model outputs into lending decisions. The role As Tech Lead, you’ll be responsible for the engineering systems that underpin Credit Risk modelling at iwoca. You’ll focus on the platform, pipelines, and production systems around the models, rather than building models yourself. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, combining technical direction, line management, and individual contribution. Technical leadership - Lead four engineers working on the modelling platform and surrounding systems; help the team deliver high-quality solutions. - Raise
