A successful Sr. Machine Learning Engineer will have excellent technical skills, in addition to good judgement and communication skills necessary to collaborate across the company with other engineers and non-technical teams.

Upcoming projects that will have a major impact on the entire company, include customer segmentation, churn prediction, fraud prevention, claims risk, and automated marketing solutions. Together, we will deliver high value models and tools that will take our business decision making and customer acquisition techniques to the next level.

• Use the scientific method to improve our models, relying on quantitative analysis and experimentation to ensure we’re moving in the right direction.
• Leverage the Python data stack for completing machine learning initiatives.

What do you need?

• Senior-level experience as a Machine Learning Engineer, Data Engineer, or data-centric Software Engineer.
• Excellent all-around skill in Python, with an emphasis on data extraction, machine learning, data analysis, reporting, and application development.

Nice to haves?

• Interest in writing about technical solutions and contributing to open source projects.
