At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.
We're looking for a Data Science Lead to own data science across our two LATAM markets, Mexico and Brazil. Both are fast-growing businesses operating with the speed and autonomy of a startup, backed by the scale and stability of an established group.
We're open to this role being a Lead, Manager or Senior Manager - the mechanics of the role won't change.
It's a hands-on leadership role. You'll lead a small team of data scientists across both markets while remaining an active contributor yourself - building models, shaping technical direction, and setting the standard for how the work gets done.
The two markets sit at different stages of maturity, and the role spans both. In one, you'll be establishing foundations — infrastructure, modelling standards, and a roadmap to bring capability up to the level of our other markets. In the other, you'll be supporting a more mature practice as it advances model architecture and builds a more integrated approach to credit decisioning and portfolio valuation.
Based in Brazil, Mexico, or the US. Fluent English required. Portuguese is an advantage; Spanish is welcome.
Don’t meet every qualification? We care about potential over your past. If you're bringing ambition and drive to what we're building, we want to hear from you.
We're looking for people who chase excellence and impact. Those who stand behind their work, celebrating the wins and learning from the missteps equally. We foster an environment where every voice is valued and mutual respect is non-negotiable — brilliant jerks need not apply. We're in this together, working to expand access to fair credit and prove that people are incredible. When you join us, it's not just another day at the [virtual] office, you're helping millions of hardworking people reach better financial futures.

Tilt is remote-first. Most roles are remote, but some positions are tied to non-remote locations, largely within its NIRA (India) and Cashalo (Philippines) regional sub-brands.
Roles are pinned to specific countries or regions rather than open worldwide. Tilt hires remotely in the US, EU, Australia, Brazil, and Mexico, with additional roles in India and the Philippines. The 14-country footprint describes where employees are, not blanket hiring eligibility.
Yes, for US-remote roles: Tilt displays a salary band on each US posting, and every US posting includes equity. Non-US postings do not display compensation.
The careers page lists full health coverage, a home office subsidy, flexible time off (take the time you need, we mean it), equity, and paid global onsites twice a year that bring the distributed team together.
