The Retail Banking Analytics Data Science Chapter provides ING with machine learning expertise for the development of the lending, pricing and personalization analytics. We are based in Amsterdam and consist of 10+ highly-skilled and talented Data Scientists from diverse nationalities and backgrounds (such as physics, statistics, maths, computer science, econometrics, astrophysics). We work in a fun and creative environment, and we are dedicated to bringing out the best in both each other and our projects through collaboration and knowledge sharing. The portfolio of projects is broad and uses a wide range of algorithms and tools, but all relate to risk and pricing. In short, we offer a world-class working environment for data scientists to make an impact and never stop learning.
