Who are we?đź‘‹
Look at the latest headlines and you will see something Ki insures. Think space shuttles, world tours, wind farms, and even footballers’ legs.
Ki’s mission is simple. Digitally disrupt and revolutionise a 335-year-old market. Working with Google and UCL, Ki has created a platform that uses algorithms, machine learning and large language models to give insurance brokers quotes in seconds, rather than days.
Ki is proudly the biggest global algorithmic insurance carrier. It is the fastest growing syndicate in the Lloyd's of London market, and the first ever to make $100m in profit in 3 years.
Ki’s teams have varied backgrounds and work together in an agile, cross-functional way to build the very best experience for its customers. Ki has big ambitions but needs more excellent minds to challenge the status-quo and help it reach new horizons.
Where you come in?
You'll join our commercial performance insights squad to tackle some of our most critical challenges in monitoring the commercial performance of our algorithmically underwritten insurance business in real time.
We're upgrading the foundation that captures algorithm decision data, moving from database logging to a versioned event stream with purpose-built views for each customer use case. This will unlock faster, more reliable insights across our customer-facing products.
With the growing adoption of our Monte Carlo simulation engine, we can understand the impact of changes to our algorithmic underwriting before they're released, as well as stress-test changing market conditions. You'll have the chance to dive deep into insurance domain modelling problems alongside data engineering.
