At Insurwave, we are looking for remarkable people who thrive on making an exceptional contribution. We now have an exciting opportunity for a Data Scientist to play a key role in our Data and AI team. If making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, then this could be the perfect opportunity and the start of something incredible!


What will you be doing?

As a Mid-Level Data Scientist, you will play a critical role within a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, analysts, and domain experts, developing advanced AI and analytics solutions for the Insurwave platform. This self-sufficient team is responsible for the entire delivery lifecycle—from design and development to testing, deployment, and ongoing support. You will work across the full machine learning workflow, applying advanced analytics and ML techniques to extract structured insights from complex insurance submission documents, conduct exposure analytics, and model asset behaviour for the commercial insurance market.


Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and deploy machine learning models that meet defined performance and business requirements
  • Develop production-ready data science solutions and maintain high-quality, testable code using modern development practices
  • Build and maintain APIs, data pipelines, and automated workflows to support model deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management
  • Analyse large and complex datasets, applying statistical and machine learning techniques to solve real-world business problems
  • Monitor model performance in production, investigate failure cases or drift, and recommend iterative improvements
  • Track and report key performance and operational metrics
  • Contribute to best practices in version control, testing, CI/CD, and MLOps
  • Share expertise through peer code reviews, documentation, and collaborative learning initiatives
  • Stay current with emerging trends in AI/ML, particularly in areas such as LLMs, NLP, and intelligent document automation

  • 3–5 years of professional experience in data science ML, or applied AI role
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to approach complex technical challenges independently
  • Proven experience in building, deploying, and maintaining ML models in production (cloud-based environments preferred)
  • Solid understanding of core machine learning concepts, algorithms, and evaluation metrics
  • Practical knowledge of LLMs and NLP techniques; experience using frameworks like Hugging Face Transformers or OpenAI APIs
  • Strong Python programming skills to write clean, modular code and experience with core data science libraries
  • Familiarity with software development workflows, including Git, code reviews, and unit testing
  • Comfortable working with both structured and unstructured data; experience writing with SQL queries


To be a successful Insurwaver, your attitude is as important. Insurwavers, like to Think Big, building with ambition, they put Client’s experience first and are incredible Team Players, who have each other's back. These are our Values which drive our Culture, personified by our Leadership Team and is key to what we are looking for in you.

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.

How to Get a Better Data Science Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Across sectors like healthcare, finance, e-commerce, government and AI startups, UK employers continue to seek data scientists who can deliver value through insight, prediction, and automation. This guide will walk you through how to bounce back from redundancy with purpose and clarity—whether you're a data analyst looking to step up, a mid-level data scientist, or a machine learning specialist seeking a better-aligned opportunity.
