Model Development at hyperexponential

The MDT are the experts' experts of hx Renew, knowing it top-to-bottom, inside-out - both breadth and depth. You'll know its limits and which can be pushed. You'll know every trick in the book, the secret combos, and the cheat codes. You'll combine all of this with a deep knowledge of insurance technology to present 'the art of the possible' (and sometimes seemingly impossible!) to our customers and help develop cutting-edge tech, while working alongside some of the brightest, most ambitious people in the tech and insurance industries.

Key responsibilities

• Consistently contribute to and improving our internal and external training & development materials

• Day-to-day quality assurance process of in-flight client and internal projects

• Always seek out opportunities to improve our model development standards and ways of working

Required skills & experience

• A flair for Python - we’ll take you to the next level here but you’ll need production grade Python experience to hit the ground running

• 2+ years of experience using predictive modelling and advanced analytics methods (our preference would be for any exposure to insurance or reinsurance pricing techniques, but we're open to different backgrounds)

• A self-starter attitude - you can operate autonomously within a high-trust, high-accountability environment. You proactively drive your own personal development and stay up-to-date with the latest industry/tech trends and challenges

• Evidence of a passion for experimenting with new approaches and technologies both through your work and extracurricular learning - we host a lot of hackathons so you won’t be short of opportunities!
