The Role
We are seeking an experienced Data Scientist to drive large-scale Generative AI initiatives. You will design and build advanced LLM-powered conversational pipelines and automation systems that reshape how insurance tasks are performed. This is a hands-on, strategic role for someone who can both set a high-level vision and dive into the technical details.
- Key Responsibilities
  • Design, architect, and build GenAI conversation pipelines across chat, voice and SMS using techniques such as multi-agent orchestration and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Develop scalable evaluation pipelines to measure the performance of enterprise-grade AI/ML solutions.
  • Work closely with ML engineers to deploy, operate and continually optimize large-scale solutions.
  • Collaborate with product managers to shape user journeys, design feedback loops, and analyse user telemetry.
  • Deliver end-to-end AI/ML product experiences tailored to insurance workflows.
- What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of industry experience delivering ML/AI solutions in production.
  • Proven success in building and scaling GenAI or Agentic AI systems in a professional setting.
  • Ability to think strategically while remaining hands-on with optimisation and implementation.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment and translating complexity into clear action.
  • Strong communication skills for sharing innovations internally and externally.
  • Deep understanding of machine learning algorithms and evaluation frameworks, including:
    • Deep learning frameworks
    • Supervised fine-tuning of LLMs
    • Preference optimisation methods for domain adaptation in LLMs
  • Track record of applying trustworthy AI/ML practices in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders.
- Compensation and Benefits
  • Competitive base salary (range dependent on experience)
  • Meaningful equity participation
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including location-specific plan options
