About the Role 

We are looking for an ambitious Production Analyst who wants to make a strong impact by implementing detailed investment policy configurations (Python) and performing comprehensive quality checks, ensuring that each policy delivers the required portfolio KPIs. The analysts conduct a wide range of analysis projects that strongly influence the business side of the company. The candidate should be comfortable working quickly and handling a busy workload, and should demonstrate meticulous attention to detail and critical thinking while collaborating effectively with both highly technical teams and executive stakeholders.

AI is a core part of how our team works. We use AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor every day to write and test policy code, we build our own AI skills that standardize recurring work, and we continuously automate our processes. We are looking for someone who is excited to work this way and to take it further.

This individual will join the Portfolio Management & Research department and will be part of a team of data scientists and data analysts, focusing on the company's main credit products and working closely with the production environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing and implementing (Python) underwriting policies in the production environment, using AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor to write, review and test policy code.
• Performing quality analytics checks to ensure the policy logic meets the defined requirements (portfolio KPIs) and works correctly in all scenarios, with a direct impact on the overall performance and outcomes of the portfolio.
• Conducting tests to evaluate each component of the policy configuration and validate the results.
• Monitoring policy behavior in production and analyzing whether the actual results meet expectations.
• Building and maintaining reusable AI skills and agents that standardize recurring workflows, such as policy implementation, post-release verification, monitoring and debugging.
• Identifying manual or repetitive processes and automating them end to end, to increase the team's throughput and quality.
• Presenting meaningful business insights from data.
• Performing ad-hoc analysis to support business decisions.
• Creating innovative, interactive dashboards, scorecards, and weekly or monthly reports on key business measurements, tailored to all audiences (from executive management to business line employees), using BI tools, Python and SQL.

Requirements

• 2 years of proven track record in analyzing data using Python and SQL.
• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems Management, Computer Science, or another quantitative discipline.
• Experience with Pandas and NumPy.
• Experience using BI systems, and an understanding of software systems architecture and databases.
• Hands-on experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor (or similar) in day-to-day work, and a strong drive to keep learning new AI tools and practices.
• Proven track record of handling large, complex datasets while staying detail-oriented and accurate.
• Ability to multitask and prioritize effectively, thriving in high-pressure environments.
• Ability to step outside an existing process and redefine it, and to implement processes where none exist, including automating them.
• Experience building automations, scripts, or AI agents and skills: an advantage.
• Experience with Looker: an advantage.
