Algorithm Associate

Job Description

Who are we?

Ki is the biggest global insurance tech company you’ve never heard of, unless you’ve been looking to insure a satellite, wind farm or music festival recently.

Having written over $877m in gross written premium in 2023, we’ve achieved significant growth since our beginnings in 2021. Our investors were excited about the fact we were revolutionising the way a 333 year-old industry was working. There are hardly any industries left that are mainly paper based, but the specialty insurance market is one. Together with partners at Google and UCL we developed Ki and created a platform that helps insurance brokers place risk in a fast and frictionless way. We’re continuing to lead the charge on the digitisation of this market and we need more excellent minds to work with us to realise this goal and create more opportunities.

Upon completion of this role, you will be well-prepared to join one of our specialised disciplines (e.g. Algorithm Engineering, Data Analytics, Data Science etc) and pursue a professional path that aligns with your career aspirations.

Principal Accountabilities:
• Supports the team in achieving profitable underwriting outcomes and make data-driven business decisions through algorithmic underwriting techniques and approaches.
