About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our growing team and build the next generation of predictive analytics solutions.

  • 5+ years building and deploying ML/AI models in production
  • Strong hands-on experience with both classical ML (GLMs, LightGBM, XGBoost etc ) and modern NLP (BERT, embeddings, LLMs, Hugging Face, RAG) for modelling both structured & unstructured datasets(tabular, text, document and images)
  • Strong Python & SQL skills and familiarity with cloud/ML platforms (Databricks, Azure)
  • Experience with model governance, MLOps, performance monitoring.
  • Excellent analytical, quantitative, and critical thinking skills. Strong business judgment for choosing the simplest model that solves the problem—and knowing when to reach for more sophisticated approaches.
  • Outstanding communication and collaboration skills to engage stakeholders, frame ambiguous problems, and translate technical results into business decisions.

Responsibilities

You’ll partner with stakeholders to select and defend the best model architecture and explainability approaches to balance performance, interpretability, and trade-offs.
  • Embed ML/AI into core business capabilities: You will build deep expertise in P&C insurance workflows and translate that knowledge into practical ML/AI-powered analyses, decision tools, and visualizations that improve how work gets done.
  • Partner with stakeholders to ensure adoption, value, and model integrity: You’ll align with stakeholders on goals and success metrics, then pressure-test solutions against real constraints to ensure they’re feasible and valuable. You will communicate your insights and recommendations with clarity and confidence to both technical and non-technical audiences.
