Youll build the models that decide which carrier each auto insurance shopper sees on our click wall. Carrier conversion data (quotes, policies and acquisition cost) is now coming back to us, and youll be the one who puts it to work in production. The hard part is the data. Our bids also decide which users we win, so the model shapes the data it learns from next.
You frame problems directly with the business, find your own data, build and validate the model, and stay with it through deployment and monitoring. An ML engineer works alongside you on the production side. Auto insurance takes most of your time to start, and scope broadens to other verticals over time.
