Senior Applied Machine Learning Engineer

We’re working to make the insurance industry faster, fairer and cheaper for everyone.
Evolution IQ is revolutionizing the insurance industry by changing the way claims analytics are done. We are bringing bleeding-edge technologies to one of the world’s oldest industries.
Evolution IQ is developing a next-gen platform for the insurance industry. We develop machines with deep comprehension and vast data access to guide humans to the optimal decisions over large numbers of claims.  Our training data includes all parts of historical insurance claims, as well as data we source externally. Our findings are presented in intuitive products to streamline the claim investigation process. The result is potential savings in the hundreds of millions, increased fairness and added precision to insurance pricing. 

Our Team
We are founded by a senior Google AI expert and a Bridgewater Associates Algorithmic Investor & Stanford MBA. We’re not looking for employees. We’re looking for partners in work, partners in culture-building, and partners in the future of data-driven insurance. The development team consists of world class engineers and leaders from companies like Google and Bloomberg. Each individual has had great success building large scale enterprise software and is now excited to try their hand at transforming the insurance industry.

Investors
Our investors include First Round Capital (seed investors in Uber, Square, Looker), FirstMark (Airbnb, Pinterest, Shopify) and Foundation Capital (Lending Club, CoverWallet, Netflix) and we have deep support within each of their organizations. You will also have full access to their networks and counterparts at portfolio companies for advice, ideas and community.
