Model Development at hyperexponential

The Model Development Team 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

Learn the hx Renew modelling platform - you’ll ship your first models independently within days!
Build models in Python for seamless integration, using cutting edge approaches
Work directly with customer actuarial teams, partner developers and our internal development teams to solve the most complex coding problems using Python
Develop cutting-edge technical solutions while working with incredibly bright, passionate, ambitious people
Review our existing Python model development approach and contribute to our best-practice guides
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
4+ years of experience using predictive modelling and advanced analytics methods
Exposure to insurance or reinsurance pricing techniques
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!

Bonus points for:

Experience working in a customer-facing role
Insurance market knowledge that will boost hyperexponential's ability to support initiatives in Lloyd’s, the IFoA and elsewhere
A willingness to promote hyperexponential's (and your own!) work, e.g. by writing on our blog, presenting at (virtual) meetups/conferences, or supporting other initiatives
