Experience with Jupyter / VS Code and version control (Git) is a plus.
Experience with Git-based workflows (pull requests, code reviews).
Familiarity with model monitoring concepts or production analytics practices.
Exposure to insurance, claims, underwriting, pricing, or financial datasets (helpful but not required).

Responsibilities

Support predictive model development for use cases such as risk, pricing, propensity, and claims.
Perform data exploration and feature engineering using Python and SQL.
Clean and prepare datasets from multiple sources (e.g., EDP, PRS, finance/claims systems).
Run experiments and model evaluations, including train/validation splits, performance metrics, and back-testing.
Translate results into clear summaries and visuals for business stakeholders.
Contribute to documentation of datasets, models, and experiments within internal repositories.
