Senior Data Scientist

Senior Data Scientist | Lloyd's Syndicate | London | Up to £90,000 + Strong Bonus

I'm working with a Lloyd's syndicate who are hiring a Senior Data Scientist into their Data Science and Analytics team, reporting to the Data Science Manager.

The role is end to end. You'll build models and take them into production yourself, then own them in life, monitoring performance and drift and deciding when they need retraining. The work is split between underwriting profitability and automating manual processes across the business, and you'll be working directly with underwriters and the actuarial team throughout.

Stack is Python and Azure, with a strong emphasis on engineering and MLOps standards. There's also scope to bring generative AI into the roadmap. You'll coach the data scientists and analysts in the team and feed into what gets prioritised.

Key Skills Required

• Strong Python written to production standard, with object oriented design, testing and code review as standard practice
• Models you've personally taken into production and supported in life
• Machine learning across the usual toolkit: scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy, statsmodels or similar
• MLOps and CI/CD in practice. Pipeline orchestration, model versioning, automated deployment, monitoring and retraining
• Cloud based ML delivery, ideally Azure (Azure ML, Azure DevOps). Strong AWS or GCP considered
• SQL and relational data modelling against large datasets
• Version control, branching strategy, automated testing, environment management
• Solid statistical foundations

Insurance experience, ideally Lloyd's or London Market, is a big plus. So is deploying LLM based solutions, PySpark or Power BI.

Permanent, up to £90,000 plus 20% bonus, three days a week in the office in the City.
