Ready?

It’s time to do your thing.

Who you’ll be working with:

We’re looking for a hands-on Data Scientist to develop and deliver deep learning–powered features supporting insurance pricing and product innovation at Liberty Mutual. This role focuses on building robust, scalable feature pipelines—especially from complex data sources like aerial imagery—and bringing them into production to solve real business problems.

You’ll work with a small, high-performing team to turn deep learning models into practical, production-ready features used across multiple insurance products. If you have experience in computer vision, scaling data science solutions, and delivering tangible business value, this is an exciting opportunity to contribute from development through deployment.

Experience and skills we need:

A third level degree is a STEM related subject.

Professional Python Development Experience: Minimum 1-3 years of hands-on experience using Python in a professional setting (beyond academic coursework). Strong proficiency in writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code.

Collaborative Coding Practices: Proficient in using Git for version control within a collaborative development environment. Experience with pull requests, code reviews, and branch management in team settings.

Independent Work Ethic: Demonstrated ability to work independently and take initiative, especially in distributed teams across multiple time zones.

Communication and Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and debugging skills, with the ability to clearly communicate technical decisions and collaborate across disciplines.

Experience and skills we’d love:

Familiarity with MLflow for tracking experiments, managing model lifecycle, or deploying models.

Experience with AWS services such as S3, EC2, SageMaker, Lambda, or similar tools for model deployment and data pipelines.

  • Computer Vision Expertise: Practical experience or exposure to modern computer vision models and techniques such as ResNet, YOLO, Vision Transformers (ViTs), or similar. Solid understanding of image processing workflows, deep learning pipelines, and model evaluation.

What you’ll be doing:

Research and develop solutions to complex business problems, working with large, unstructured datasets.

Apply various exploratory data analysis techniques and processes to these datasets, including entity resolution at scale and graph-based fraud detection.

With support from senior data scientists, play a lead role in the delivery of high-quality products, solutions, models, and/or algorithms in a timely manner.

Make considerations between technical perfection and business outcome in the delivery of solutions.

Partner with senior business stakeholders and Product Owners to fully understand your customers and align your work to their requirements.

Communicate complex concepts to stakeholders in a clear and accessible manner.

Compare and contrast different statistical programming languages, tools, and packages to make informed decisions on what technologies to use to meet the business requirements.

Ensure accuracy through the implementation of a variety of approaches and mechanisms in line with best practices.

Develop best practices for the team and coach other team members on areas such as style, documentation, and code management.

Grow your knowledge in all components of the Data Science life cycle.

Seek opportunities for you and your team members to share and celebrate what you’ve achieved through internal tech talks, blogging, and external events.

What’s on offer

Feel safe and secure whatever life brings, with health insurance (including 24/7 access to a digital doctor), life assurance, and income protection.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
