About the role:
You'll own the NPV and unit economics model behind Salmon's credit card business — the core logic behind how we price, size, and monitor profitability across the portfolio.
What you'll do:
Work directly with the Head of Economics to turn model logic into production-ready Python/SQL code
Build and maintain the datasets that feed the model — cohorts, cashflows, losses, funding, fees, revenue — with help from other analysts
Automate scenario and sensitivity runs so pricing, limit, and product decisions are backed by real numbers
What you'll own:
Own the end-to-end NPV / unit economics model for credit cards — clean, testable, versioned logic
Validate model outputs against actual portfolio performance and investigate gaps when they don't match
Translate model logic into clear, implementation-ready specs when other teams need to build on it
Step outside your immediate scope when the work calls for it — we value ownership over rigid roles
What makes you a strong fit:
2–3+ years of hands-on experience in data analytics
Strong Python (pandas) and SQL — for data exploration and for implementing analytics logic in production
Solid understanding of unit economics / financial modeling — cashflows, NPV, cohorts — through direct modeling experience or hands-on work with such models
High attention to detail — small errors break economics in production
What we offer:
Ownership and flexibility
Stock option plan — four-year vesting with a 25% cliff after the first year
Hybrid-first work environment
Company-provided tools and equipment
Office in Bonifacio Global City, Manila — a modern, walkable district at the centre of the Philippines' growing tech scene
