Staff Applied Data Scientist

Experienced: 5+ years experience applying Data Science methods to production problems. We expect you to be able to dive into a complex codebase without too much spin-up. Past experience as a team lead is definitely a plus.

Builder: You like the product-side of data and think about how to apply modeling and evaluation techniques to real-world problems. You have thoughtful opinions about where the data leads and how to maximize the business impact of your work.

Pragmatic: We prioritize impact and delivery. You balance speed and quality, making thoughtful trade-offs to solve problems effectively. You leverage off-the-shelf solutions so we don’t re-invent the wheel but understand when a custom solution is appropriate.

Curious: you are not just an order-taker... you are curious about what makes the business tick and you learn the intricacies of how it runs. This results in strong intuition for when analysis is wrong and leads you to suggest ideas and insights that nobody thought to ask for. You’re not the type of scientist who wants fully fleshed-out specs thrown over the wall for you to implement.

Nice to have:

Actuarial experience, or experience applying models to risk evaluation and aggregation problems.

Experience in vision photo analysis
