Job Description

As we build the future of consumer insurance in a modern age, data and machine learning are at the core of everything that we do. The role requires team members who take insights, actions, and models from our data scientists and translate that into software products that enable business optimization. Currently, we have more than 65 models in production, making tens-of-millions of real-time predictions per day. Our team uses a variety of data mining and analysis methods, uses a variety of data tools, builds and implements models, develops algorithms, and creates simulations.

This position is responsible for designing and building the prediction services that makes this development possible with no support from engineering (we own our stack end to end). At Assurance, we hire experts in their field, and we give them the independence and trust to build based on their expertise.

We’re changing the world of consumer insurance and financial services everyday through the power of Machine Learning and Data Science – join us on the journey!

  • Mentorship of others – you raise the bar on coding standards and providing meaningful feedback on code changes.
