About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and run experiments that directly shape production AI agents — testing ideas, validating approaches, and turning research into deployed improvements.
Actively explore cutting-edge developments in AI and machine learning — with the space and support to experiment, prototype, and bring new techniques into production where they add value.
Evaluate and refine LLM-powered workflows — building robust evaluation frameworks, stress-testing agent behaviour, and driving continuous quality improvements in live systems.
Explore complex, real-world datasets to uncover insights that meaningfully improve underwriting decisions and system performance at scale.
Prototype and iterate on features for AI/ML pipelines, taking ideas from early exploration through to measurable impact in production services.
Investigate how agentic systems behave in production — identifying edge cases, failure modes, and opportunities to make systems more robust and reliable.
Collaborate closely with ML/AI engineers to bridge research and production — contributing code, debugging issues, and helping ship improvements end-to-end.
Document experiments, findings, and methodologies clearly so that insights are reproducible and decisions are traceable.

Requirements

What you’ll need

combine a strong grounding in statistics with hands‑on technical capability in Python and SQL

bring curiosity, ask the right questions and look beneath the surface
have experience with Azure, MLflow, or LLM tooling is a bonus, but not expected—we value mindset and approach just as highly as experience.
