Language Intelligence Analyst

Bayview Asset Management, LLC ("Bayview") is an investment management firm focused on investments in mortgage and consumer credit, including whole loans, asset backed securities, mortgage servicing rights, and other credit-related assets.

The Research Team at Bayview works with businesses across the firm, including portfolio managers, traders and Lakeview, a mortgage servicing/origination business. Our team is dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions through rigorous research and advanced modeling techniques. We oversee the data analysis process from start to finish:

• Data engineering: fetch, explore, and clean the data
• Research: analyze data with quantitative rigor to answer the business question at hand
• Modeling: identify the best statistical methods to apply to a given problem
• Development: code up the implementation with consideration for efficiency and extensibility
