Senior Data Scientist - Computer Vision

Events in recent years have made us all too familiar with the havoc that natural disasters can wreak, and the increasing frequency and intensity with which they are occurring.  Despite record levels of losses, conventional methods of risk modeling continue to paint at best an incomplete picture of these threats.

ZestyAI uses novel data gathering and data science methods to produce higher quality information about the risks to property from catastrophes like floods and wildfires.  While AI alone may not be able to thwart these disasters, it can help us become more prepared for them, and ultimately that will lead to better outcomes.

As a Senior Data Scientist - Computer Vision, you are comfortable and excited to work closely with the engineering team to build the best AI tech possible. You will scale the development of top-tier models by using diverse data sources to provide strong insights and maximize the impact of our company efforts. You thrive in a collaborative, creative environment that moves fast and you’re comfortable setting in place structures and processes to help the company scale. 

The Opportunity:

  • Explore data sets and develop new Property Tech and InsurTech models with data science (Machine learning, Deep learning). 
  • Help direct and scope machine learning projects in conjunction with the product team and data science leadership
  • Coach and provide feedback to other members of the Machine Learning team across the US/Canada
  • Develop computer vision algorithms that extract insights from aerial imagery, satellite imagery and geospatial data
  • Research and model aspects of the built environment utilizing aerial imagery, satellite imagery and other datasets
  • Help develop training and cross­-validation data sets for machine learning algorithms
  • Translate product management, engineering, and business constraints and queries into tractable data science questions
