    Job Description

    WHO WE ARE

    The $21B Powersports market (motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, PWCs, snowmobiles) is all about fast and fun, but the purchasing process is slow and frustrating. Octane enables consumers to live their passion by making powersports purchases instant, seamless, and widely available. Octane launched a credit product, branded as Roadrunner Financial, in 2016 to provide financing to prime and near-prime consumers who have historically been underserved by incumbent banks, expanding coverage to 50% of responsible consumers. Together with our automated underwriting and digital buying experience, Octane and RoadRunner cut the time to close a transaction from hours to minutes.

    We are both the platform and the lender, which means we have both high growth and positive unit economics—rare for a fintech. Octane has raised >$100M in equity from IA Ventures, Valar Ventures, Contour Venture Partners, Citi Ventures, and other leading investors.

    WHAT WE NEED

    The Octane Data Team is on a mission to empower all Octanes to seamlessly and confidently conduct rigorous analysis, build accurate reporting, and most importantly, make data-driven decisions to propel the business forward. From informing credit policy to creating product enhancements to updating servicing protocols, availability and accessibility of quality data is critical. Our vision is to build out a best-in-class modern data platform by accelerating the data engineering lifecycle through technical and process innovation.
