Data Scientist

Job title – Applied Scientist / Data Scientist

Who are we?

We are an Artificial Intelligence company bringing the speed and insight of Applied AI to

visual assessment. Trained on millions of data points, our AI-powered solutions connect

everyone involved in insurance, repairs, and sales of homes and cars – helping people work

faster and smarter, while reducing friction and waste.

Founded in 2014, We are now the AI tool of choice for world-leading insurance and

automotive companies. Our solutions unlock the potential of Applied AI to transform the

whole recovery ecosystem, from assessing damage and accelerating claims and repairs to

recycling parts. They help make response to recovery up to ten times faster – even after

full-scale disasters like floods and hurricanes.

it has a world-class culture, backed up by our team, making us a global employer of

choice

We're a diverse team, uniting individuals of over 40 different nationalities and from varied

backgrounds, with machine learning researchers and motor engineers collaborating together

on a daily basis. We empower each team member to have tangible impact and grow their

own scope by intentionally building a culture centred around collaboration, transparency,

autonomy and continuous learning.

Our team shapes the technical foundations used across all products, currently

focused on auto insurance and natural disaster recovery. Our mission is to leverage the

latest ML research to solve hard science problems necessary to transform the insurance

industry (& more). We focus on creating mission-critical AI systems solving some of the

trickiest problems in computer vision, and our innovation has already improved the lives of

100,000s of people so far (really). We're a fun and ambitious team, and looking for someone

to join us on our exciting journey

Auto organization – Who we are & What we do

Our organization is responsible for building products for the automotive industry. We have

already built 2 products (Estimating, Review) sold globally to insurers.

Our long-term vision is to build a platform ecosystem that we can leverage to effortlessly

build new products and use cases. Our current mission is to create a reliable and safe

"virtual" motor appraiser/expert as a service, we can leverage to solve many use cases

across the automotive industry. We are doing so, by building high-quality input capture

mechanisms for our users, creating a state-of-the-art damage assessment stack for auto

damage, or delivering explainable and human-centric decision-making engines.

We are working hand-in-hand with engineering teams to turn our R&D prototypes into

mission-critical systems.

What will you be doing?

As an Applied scientist, you will contribute to the design, development, and improvement of

AI/ML models and systems. You will be expected to:

- Work with applied scientists, data scientist, software engineers and product partners to

design and deliver AI/ML solutions in production at scale.

- Design and develop AI/ML models, workflows and end-to-end pipelines for data

preparation, training, deployment, monitoring, etc., and ensure the quality of architecture and

design of our ML models and systems.

- Deliver customer-facing and/or underlying AI/ML solutions that empower our platform to

provide the best experience for our customers.
