Data Science/ DSEP Participant | 2026 DSEP

Verisk’s Data Science Excellence Program (DSEP) is a 3‑year rotational program designed to develop the next generation of data scientists and data engineers. The program consists of two 18‑month rotations within Verisk’s various analytics teams as a full‑time employee. As a DSEP Data Scientist, you’ll receive hands‑on analytics experience doing everything from data wrangling, querying, modeling, visualizing, and productizing as you work in the insurance business area. You will help our clients in decision analytics, forecasting, and risk management. The work includes the creation of both proof‑of‑concept demonstrations to illustrate specific technologies and algorithms as well as robust operational systems that can be put into production. As a member of a project team, you will be exposed to some of the data challenges faced at Verisk’s operations potentially including large‑scale data analysis, real‑time data analysis, and anomaly detection. Data sets of interest include insurance policy and claims data, imagery and documents.
