- Support and mentor early-career members of the team.
- Champion improvements to enhance our digital underwriting capabilities.
Requirements
- Detailed knowledge of MLOps system development, including MLOps concepts such as feature stores, model registries, and model monitoring.
- Understanding of infrastructure as code using tools such as Terraform.
- Intermediate understanding of the control, management, and lifecycle of data products and machine learning algorithms.
- Understanding of the importance of market compliance and core regulatory requirements within the insurance space.
- Highly effective communication and collaboration skills to educate colleagues, act as an internal knowledge hub, and promote business-wide adoption of MLOps capabilities.
