Python Engineer - Search & Data

We are a high-growth startup using data and machine learning to revolutionise the insurance industry. You will be joining an established team, working to build products that are fundamentally changing the way insurers see the world, enabling them to move from an assumption based understanding of risk, to an empirical, data-driven view.

Our data products, which are used by international insurers, ensure that insurers have access to more data than ever that can be used to dramatically accelerate their learning. To this end, we help them acquire data by extracting information from structured and unstructured documents using CV and NLP, through dataset linkage and entity resolution, to using internal and external data to provide insight and prediction (incl. human-assisted ML).
