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.

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.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

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

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals.

This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.
