Job summary

Murphy AI seeks a Data Scientist to build the AI brain that decides who to contact, when, and how often to recover debts. You will own the data problem and drive strategy across calls, channels, and scripts, with a focus on compliant, effective, and respectful outreach.

Responsibilities

• Own the contact strategy: when and how often to contact via channels to maximize recovery within guardrails.
