Klarna, briefly

At Klarna, were building an everyday finance network, helping over 120 million consumers across 26 countries save time and money, and worry less about their finances. Klarna is big enough to put you on projects most companies cant offer, small enough that its you doing the interesting part of the work, and hands-on enough that youre building with AI, not just watching it happen.

About the role

Youll turn open banking data into credit risk decisions for the French market - decisions Klarna can stand behind and that are fair to our consumers. Depending on your background, this sits closer to underwriting policy (shaping the decision logic itself) or closer to modeling (building what feeds it) - well figure out which fits once we understand your experience, and the exact scope may shift as the teams needs do.

France is a market where Klarna is continuously growing, and leaning further into open banking data is the natural next step - youll be working with transaction-level account data as a primary signal, not a secondary one. Youll work closely with Risk, Product, and regional sales teams to evolve how Klarna underwrites in France and other markets that we operate in, utilizing the power of open banking.

What youll do

• Youll evolve underwriting policy, the models behind it, or both, depending on where your experience is strongest.

• Youll work with Risk, Product, and regional teams to keep French underwriting aligned with the business and with regulation.

• Youll balance consumer fairness against portfolio performance - too strict costs approvals, too loose costs losses, and youll own that trade-off.

• Youll turn what the data shows into changes the business actually implements, not analysis that sits in a deck.

• Youll help move Klarnas French underwriting toward a single global decisioning platform.

Who you are

• Youve spent 3+ years turning bank account and transaction data into an actual credit risk decision, ideally in the French market specifically.

• You come from engineering, data science, mathematics, or software engineering - or from business or economics, backed by real hands-on credit risk work.

• Youre fluent in French and comfortable working in English, Klarnas working language.

• Youre comfortable in SQL and with large datasets.

• You can explain what the data means to people who dont build models for a living.

Things you should know before applying

• Working together: we value co-located teams; most teams currently meet in the office 2-3 days per week, and this varies by team and can change over time.

• Non-obvious backgrounds are welcome. Diversity of skills, perspectives and backgrounds is how we create, innovate, and disrupt like no other.

• Final compensation will be based on the candidates qualifications, skills, and experience.

• Depending on your background, this could land as an Analyst role or a Data Scientist role - well settle the exact title with you once we understand your experience.

Please include a CV in English.
