Job Description

We are hunting a Data Scientist who makes machines think smarter than humans.
Location: George, Western Cape, the place where your data models will run fast, and the coffee runs even faster.
At Badger Holdings, we're not just building dashboards. We're solving real business problems with machine learning that drives decisions, saves money, and sparks innovation. If you can take messy data and turn it into gold-standard models without someone holding your hand, we want you in our squad.
What you'll own:

Prepping, cleaning & shaping raw data into machine-learning gold
Finding hidden patterns no one else sees
Building, validating & deploying ML models into production
Keeping an eagle eye on model performance (and spotting drift before it drifts too far)
Retraining and upgrading models so they stay sharp
Designing intuitive dashboards & tools that make complex results look effortless

You'll thrive here if you:

Have a Degree or Honours in Data Science or Actuarial Science
Have 3+ years in insurance or financial services (short-term insurance = bonus points)
Have 3+ years taking ML projects from raw data to deployment
Can wrangle Python or R, SQL or Snowflake like a pro
Have hands-on claims modelling, survival analysis & statistical modelling chops
Understand time series forecasting like the back of your hand
Are curious, independent, and allergic to "good enough"

Extra street cred for:

Experience with ML platforms
Power BI, Qlik Sense, Tableau wizardry

Why Badger?
We move fast, think big, and build smart. You'll have the space to experiment, the tech to back you, and a team that speaks fluent "data".
If your models change the game, your place is here.
