About the Role

As a Senior Applied AI Engineer, you will take full ownership of developing and scaling machine learning models that uncover insights about business risk. You'll work with structured and unstructured data—including web content, geolocation signals, and satellite imagery—to build systems that transform raw inputs into actionable intelligence.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of machine learning projects, from problem framing to production deployment.
  • Extract meaningful patterns from diverse datasets using advanced techniques in NLP, statistical modeling, and deep learning.
  • Collaborate closely with Product Management and Software Engineering to align technical solutions with business goals.
  • Operate within a two-week sprint rhythm, delivering measurable progress with speed and precision.
  • Drive innovation by testing new approaches, measuring outcomes rigorously, and iterating quickly.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years of combined experience in data science and software engineering.
  • Strong command of Python and core data science libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn.
  • Proven ability to deploy models into production environments and maintain them at scale.
  • Deep understanding of applied machine learning, particularly in NLP and statistical inference.
  • Comfort bridging data science and engineering—equally at home prototyping and writing production code.
  • A bias for action: you find ways forward, break through blockers, and stay focused under pressure.
  • Commitment to open, honest communication and respectful debate.

Preferred Background

  • Hands-on experience with AWS services.
  • Exposure to data engineering pipelines and analytics workflows.

Work Environment

This role is open to candidates based in Europe who can work remotely, with opportunities to connect during regional gatherings and annual global offsites. The team operates across time zones and speaks over 10 languages, fostering a diverse and inclusive culture.

Our Values

  • Hustle and Determination: Take ownership, move fast, and persist through challenges.
  • Customer Impact: Every decision is evaluated by its effect on accuracy, efficiency, or profitability for insurers.
  • Meritocracy: Exceptional work is recognized and rewarded with growth and responsibility.
  • Transparency: We value direct feedback and open dialogue, even when it's difficult.
  • Relentless Experimentation: We solve hard problems by testing fast, measuring clearly, and learning quickly.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: $88k – $180k USD (varies by experience, performance, and location)
  • Significant equity options package
  • 20 days paid time off per year
  • Phone and gym reimbursements

About company
Kalepa
Insurance is a $7T global industry built on professional labor: underwriting, claims, pricing, operations, and distribution. Kalepa is building AI that can perform that work. We create professional-grade AI systems for insurers: software that can read, reason, decide, and act inside real workflows and operate over long-time horizons. Kalepa begins by augmenting professionals with the tools to succeed at their jobs. That earns us the right to learn from real decisions, capture decision traces, and automate what can be automated successfully over time. Our products are already in production with leading insurers, driving measurable outcomes and expanding across functions. The opportunity is far broader than any single workflow: to build the AI operating system for decision-making across insurance. For people who want to work on AI that matters, in a sector where correctness, trust, and real-world impact count, Kalepa is just getting started. Kalepa is backed by leading investors such as IA Ventures and Inspired Capital, and our team brings experience from Facebook, Palantir, Google, Amazon, McKinsey, Mastercard, and Uber.
