Our diverse clientele, ranging from van drivers and gig economy workers to everyday car owners, is at the core of our operations.

Having successfully sold tens of millions of policies and secured over $200 million in funding, we are just getting started on this exciting journey.

We are in search of a Lead Data Scientist to join our Core Pricing team, reporting directly to the Head of Data Science. You will play a critical role in shaping and executing a high-performance data-science operating model, swiftly transforming concepts into production-ready pricing and risk models.

  • Lead the development and enhancement of next-generation risk models, managing all aspects from innovative feature discovery and sophisticated modeling to dependable pipeline deployment and strategic R&D initiatives.
  • Implement a robust Data Science workflow: ensuring clear guidelines, templates, and documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Accelerate the idea-to-production timeline: from initial data acquisition to live rate adjustments.
  • Promote a culture of collaborative experimentation: integrating Pricing, Data Science, Machine Learning Engineering, and Systems Engineering.
  • Team leadership and mentorship: oversee a team of 2 Data Scientists, guiding their professional growth and development.
  • Establish coding standards and best practices, mapping common processes and creating playbooks.
