About the Team
We don't build pricing models, we build the driving intelligence that feeds them. Our mission is fairer insurance, priced on how people drive, not on who they are, and safer roads.
The Telematics team turns raw phone sensor data into meaningful signals about how people drive. Using signal processing and machine learning on high-frequency GPS, accelerometer, and gyroscope data, we extract the behavioural features that power Zego's understanding of driving quality, context, and risk.
The Telematics Data Science team collaborates daily with engineering, product, and actuarial colleagues across the UK and PT. We're one team across Portugal and the UK. PT and UK roles carry the same scope, ownership, and progression. Decisions get made where the work happens, not in a single headquarters. This isn't a solo remote seat; you'll join an established team of peers.
About the Role
Few teams use phone sensor data to price commercial motor insurance at scale. As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll shape how millions of trips are turned into risk signals. You'll own behavioural features and algorithms from hypothesis to production, working at the intersection of data science and engineering on GPS, inertial, and other sensor data.
You'll move between quick heuristics and full ML models depending on what the problem calls for. You ship code to production, not just notebooks.
