At Badger Holdings, we don’t just crunch numbers, we use data to reshape insurance and solve real-world problems. We’re looking for a Data Scientist who’s ready to take ownership of the full machine learning lifecycle: from raw data, to insights, to deployed models that actually move the needle.

- Prep, clean, transform and engineer features from raw data
- Run exploratory data analysis to uncover insights & shape models
- Build, validate and deploy machine learning models
- Monitor and retrain models to stay ahead of drift
- Troubleshoot and maintain deployed solutions
- Document pipelines, models and processes clearly
- Create dashboards & reporting tools for business teams
Requirements
What We’re Looking ForEssential:
- Degree/Honours in Data Science or Actuarial Science
- 3+ years’ experience in insurance/financial services (short-term insurance = big plus)
- 3+ years hands-on with machine learning projects (data prep → deployment)
- Proven experience with Python or R, SQL/Snowflake
- Experience with claims modelling & survival analysis
- Strong foundation in statistical modelling & time series forecasting
Preferred (Bonus Points):
- Exposure to ML platforms
- Proficiency in BI tools (Power BI, Qlik Sense, Tableau, etc.)
