Data Science Engineer
Agero is working with leading vehicle manufacturers, insurance carriers and roadside service providers to drive the next generation of vehicle and mobile technology forward. Our mission is to transform the entire driving experience -- and save lives in the process -- through an unmatched combination of innovative technology and human-powered solutions. These include breakthrough mobile apps designed to bring added safety and convenience to drivers everywhere.
The Data Science Engineering group at Agero focuses on end-to-end algorithm development and production implementation. We get to see our solutions working on large scale (PB) datasets running through consumer facing apps in real-time, and to know that our algorithms are bringing emergency vehicles and roadside service providers to stranded drivers quickly and efficiently. We strive to stay at the forefront of both algorithm and software technology advances and are continuously expanding our skill sets as new solutions emerge. Our group is looking for new team members to help us in our endeavors make the roads a safer place to be.
Your Roles and Responsibilities:
- Research and experiment with data science technologies, discover opportunities for new data analytics features, and influence digital product and technology strategies for the company.
- Develop algorithms (statistical modeling, machine learning, optimization, etc.) to assess driver telematics data and gain new insights into both driver behavior / crash risk and roadside service procedures / efficiencies.
- Communicate research results effectively in written and spoken forms to various audiences including product management, engineering, executives, and customers.
- Drive algorithm implementation at scale through use of technologies such as AWS Lambda or Spark.
- Work in a fast-paced, team-based environment on shared code repositories.
