Senior Data Science Developer

****Please note there are several companies with 'Ajira' in their name so don't confuse us with them. We are a US based smart solutions software company with offices in the US and Pune, India only. Our markets are the US and Canada. We do not do business in any other country and we do not hire people in any other country.****

At Ajira Software, we focus on developing smart products that leverage artificial intelligence algorithms. We build complex cloud based and mobile business applications. We solve very significant systems problems along the way. Our products work across our customers' ecosystems to help people.

We're very pleased to be expanding our development team. We're a close-knit group of innovators that have previously launched very successful companies. Our track record building successful technology businesses and reputation is helping us grow and we are looking to add Senior Data Science Developers to our team in Pune.

You have hands-on experience using AI frameworks such as Tensor Flow and Keras in a work setting. You have at least a couple of years of work experience using Python/R. You've used multiple classification models and Pandas, Numpy, Matlab etc. You are proficient at using algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Multiple Linear Regression, Random Tree, Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, DNN, CNN etc. You have a track record of demonstrated success in business problem solving. Data visualization experience is a plus. Experience developing RAG retrieval and Agents is desirable but not necessary as is API work with one of the large GenAI engines.

You are the kind of developer that other developers seek out to solve their technical difficulties. You keep up to date with what's happening in the data science world and know the differences between classification, regression, clustering, dimensional reduction and time series. You know the limitations of each algorithm. You are motivated to learn new technologies.

That's a high level summary of what we're looking for but before we dive into the detail, you'll probably want to know who you are going to be working for and what your work environment will be like:

Who we are:

We are an Insurtech company with a core mission of leveraging artificial intelligence algorithms and techniques to solve complex business problems. We like to think that solving these business issues for our customers helps make them better at serving their customers. Some of our applications help people who may be injured or have been in an accident. In our opinion that's a worthwhile pursuit. While our current business vertical is insurance, we see our technology expanding to other business verticals with time.

We love what we do and not the least of which is that we have the opportunity to try out and 'play' with the latest advances in tools and technology.

Who you'll be working with:

We are a collaborative, tight knit group of contributors. While we're headquartered in the Chicago area in Oak Brook, our software lab is located in Pune, India. We have decades of experience working with remote teams. We're looking to expand our Developer positions in Pune, India.

You'll find our technology managers a joy to work with; people with excellent technical skills, always willing to mentor, roll up their sleeves and get deep into technical issues. Our management possesses rare technical insight coupled with a remarkable business vision. You'll be working as a key member of our technical team in what will be an amazing opportunity for you.

Your work environment:

We are a group of talented and dedicated individuals and though we are a software company, we have a 'no insane hours' rule.

We are not clock watchers. If you need to take off for a couple of hours to visit the doctor or dentist go ahead. We look at what you're accomplishing not how many hours you spend in the office. We conduct meetings on a daily basis with our Chicago office so some overlapping hours are necessary.

Our work is performed using the latest technology and tools. We're constantly innovating and improving our delivery capability by building our own components and tools as well as licensing new tech that we've tried and works in our environment.

We are an open, collaborative work environment and suggestions are not just welcome, they are appreciated. You'll find our product roadmap is exciting and full of opportunity. We believe in compensating our core team with higher than prevailing market wage.

Your skills:

You keep up with technology changes and trends.

You are a top notch Developer whose code not only solves complex issues but is written in such a way that the rest of your team is able to understand. This means that you're not shy about documenting your code and you understand the need for coding standards and why everyone should use them.

You are motivated. You have amazing debugging skills and are quick at identifying and fixing bugs.

You are skilled at development with Python/R and using Ai frameworks such as Tensor Flow and Keras.

Proficient in the use of Pandas, Numpy, Matlib, MatPlotlib, SciKit-learn and commonly used libraries.

You understand ML algorithms such as Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Multiple Linear Regression, Random Tree, XgBoost, DNN, CNN etc thoroughly.

You are quick to understand business problems and understand how to analyze large datasets, balance data to fill in missing gaps, and figure out which algorithms may best be used to solve a particular question or issue.

Any data visualization experience is a plus as is any background in statistics. Any RAG or Agent exposure if a plus.

You have developed, implemented and supported a ML application successfully at w
