- Troubleshoot and maintain deployed solutions
- Document pipelines, models and processes clearly
- Create dashboards & reporting tools for business teams
Essential:

- 3+ years' experience in insurance/financial services (short-term insurance = big plus)
- 3+ years hands-on with machine learning projects (data prep ? deployment)
- Proven experience with Python or R, SQL/Snowflake
- Experience with claims modelling & survival analysis
- Strong foundation in statistical modelling & time series forecasting
- Exposure to ML platforms
