Preferred Qualifications * Experience with automotive, vehicle valuation, lending, insurance, leasing, auctions, or other asset-value modeling. * Experience forecasting values or depreciation across multiple time horizons and market conditions. * Experience with model interpretability, prediction intervals or other uncertainty measures, and ongoing model monitoring. * Experience building or supporting production data science workflows in a cloud or distributed computing environment. * Familiarity with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, when appropriate to the data and use case. * Experience using text or other unstructured data in predictive modeling. * Familiarity with generative AI tools, when relevant to extracting or organizing information from unstructured sources. Required Skills : Senior Data Scientist, Automotive Residual Value Modeling 100% REMOTE What You'll Do Join Experian's data science team to develop and improve models that estimate automotive residual values over time. You'll work with data science, engineering, and business partners to turn vehicle and market data into reliable estimates that support customer and business decisions. Define modeling targets, prediction horizons, and evaluation criteria for automotive residual value use cases. Explore and prepare large, varied datasets, which may include vehicle specifications, transaction and market data, economic indicators, and other relevant sources. Build and evaluate predictive models using appropriate statistical and machine learning methods, such as regression, gradient boosting, and random forests. Design validation strategies that reflect how the models will be used, including time-based testing and analysis across vehicle segments, geographies, and market conditions. Assess model accuracy, bias, stability, and uncertainty; investigate errors and identify opportunities to improve performance. Develop interpretable outputs and explain model behavior, assumptions, and limitations to technical and business audiences. Work with data engineering and software teams to prepare models and data pipelines for production and help monitor performance as data and market conditions change. Measure the business value of model improvements and communicate results through clear documentation, presentations, and recommendations.
