What is a Research Engineer at Point Digital Finance?
At Point Digital Finance, the Research Engineer role sits at the intersection of cutting-edge financial engineering, data science, and academic-grade research. Point Digital Finance has revolutionized the home equity market by allowing homeowners to sell fractional equity in their properties. To sustain this innovative financial product, the company relies on an internal research lab structure. This specialized team is tasked with building the quantitative models, risk assessment frameworks, and pricing algorithms that power the entire investment pipeline.
As a Research Engineer, your work directly impacts the company’s ability to accurately value residential real estate, forecast macroeconomic trends, and manage portfolio risk. You will not simply be writing production code; you will be collaborating with Principal Investigators (PIs), quantitative researchers, and academic partners to translate theoretical financial models into scalable, real-world engineering solutions. Your contributions ensure that Point Digital Finance can confidently price equity investments while providing homeowners with transparent, fair terms.
This role is highly collaborative and intellectually stimulating. The research lab operates with a high degree of autonomy, mimicking the rigorous, inquisitive nature of an academic research group while maintaining the fast-paced delivery of a top-tier fintech firm. If you thrive on solving unstructured problems, analyzing complex datasets, and bridging the gap between scientific inquiry and software engineering, this position offers a unique and highly impactful playground.
