In fact, why not check out our reviews onGlassdoor. Engineering @ Tractable There's around 15 of us in the engineering team at Tractable and we play a key part in bringing our AI to life. The way we build our product is by putting a team together with all the skills and context it needs to be able to solve real world problems. We believe strongly in cross functional teams and collaboration. This means you will be working alongside software engineers, machine learning engineers, data scientists and product managers and designers. You will be working out how we can best help thousands of people around the world recover faster from an accident. We're proud to see our products have a massive impact on the insurance market daily... and we know this is just the beginning. The project you will be working on: You will be joining our talented team working on our AI Estimating applications. In this team we build applications for car owners and insurance claim handlers to facilitate the process of submitting a motor insurance claim in the most seamless and AI-driven way possible. Our powerful AI is able to figure out the nature and amount of damage in an accident by visually analysing the submitted photos. It enables full automation of traditionally manual tasks involved in the process of filing claims, and the applications we build in this team enable that capability to be deployed to the real world, acting on claims as they are being processed and inspiring confidence to our users, through great UX and transparency. You'll be focussing on developing, architecting and scaling our core services and APIs to enable features in our user facing applications. You will be required to gather context about the wider product space and how our AI technology adds value in each step of the claim journey. Your day-to-day tasks would involve thinking of data models, service abstractions and API layers to support various possible claim interactions by both the insurance policyholder and the claim handler. You will also work closely with our research team to understand how the AI / ML results need to be plugged into the product to add maximum value to the end user. We work in a lean team comprising a product designer and full stack developers with different degrees of frontend and backend experience.
