Founding Data Scientist

TrueBiz is reinventing how financial services verify businesses during account opening. Our technology automates the review of company documents captured at registration, and combines this with searches in best-in-class data sources.

Our ultimate vision is to create a single sign-on for business identity. When a business is verified once using our service, they will re-use their credentials across our network without re-submitting their information. Automating the onboarding process for banks is the first step in our journey.

We launched in early 2022, onboarded our first customers and are backed by Y Combinator (Summer 22 batch) together with a range of top fintech founders.

Background on the role:

We're looking for a creative and entrepreneurial Founding Data Scientist to join our team.

You will lead development for evolving TrueBiz’s proprietary document processing technology. You’ll play a critical role in shaping the technical and product roadmap. This role will report directly to TrueBiz’s CEO and is expected to develop into a managerial position.

What you’ll do:

Build, optimize and scale various methods to process different types of company documents (e.g. Articles of Incorporation, Invoices, Proof of Shareholder Structure)
Rapidly build proof of concepts, testing new hypotheses, and iterating to maximize learning
Work with our customers and internal stakeholders to help make them successful and prioritize our product and engineering roadmaps

You’ll be successful in this role if you have:

Experience with document processing solutions. The nature of the documents we process are varied. We’re applying a range of existing and new OCR and NLP technologies to deliver value for our clients.
Comfort working with high autonomy and ambiguity. You’re an entrepreneurial character that wants to be there from the beginning of the journey and help shape the platform. You are a motivated self-starter that craves ownership.
Bias for Action. You feel that done is better than perfect, yet still want to get as close to perfect as you can.
Results Orientation. You love to deeply understand the end-user’s goal and focus on delivering clear, simple, and scalable solutions
Multi Disciplinary Approach. You are able to work on varied and complex problems, and break them down into achievable goals.
Some interest in fintech or regtech. We’re working with some of the most innovative fintechs in the world. Some empathy and understanding of their broader challenges will help us develop useful solutions.

What’s in it for you:

Biggest career boosting opportunity out there! Join a very early Y Combinator backed startup that is innovating in a huge but archaic industry. You’ll get exposure to things beyond your immediate skill set as we scale the company.
End-to-end ownership & the ability to define a product category You’ll get to define and build the core of a system for a huge new category of regtech & build a product that will be used by thousands of companies. This is an archaic industry dominated by players like Dun & Bradstreet, Lexis Nexus and Thompson Reuters (combined market cap >$200bn) but fintechs struggle to use their solutions.
Clear pathway to grow You’re getting in on day 1. You’ll be given as much opportunity as you can handle, whether that’s building & managing a team, owning an entire part of the product as we scale, or making key architectural decisions. You’ll set the bar for team members who join who after you and help define the company culture.
Serious upside without downside You’ll get a significant equity stake to provide a financial as well as emotional ownership. We also pay competitive cash compensation.
