Senior AI and Automation Data Scientist

Job Description

The ideal Senior AI & Automation Scientist candidate for this role will have insurance industry experience with Natural Language Processing (NLP) and perhaps Computer Vision (CV) especially applied to data extraction problems. They will be skilled in transfer learning and possess an understanding of and capability in Deep Learning (DL). They can perform work in each of those areas by leveraging a cloud environment like Databricks on Azure with Python in a notebook and IDE environment with version control leveraging git. They can navigate API based generative AI models like those from OpenAI. They can perform these tasks collaboratively, transparently, and seek to improve the skill of the team overall.

Responsibilities

• Deliver production quality solutions for data extraction, classification, triaging, routing, search, etc.
• Programmatically explore data, derive insights that are statistically sound, and convey findings to colleagues of varying sophistication
