Data Science & Machine Learning Lead
Mission
Leverage AI and Solera’s data assets to develop, deliver, operate, and maintain innovative, production-grade components that make vehicle claims and ownership simpler, faster, and more more efficient for customers and users.
What you will do
- Lead technical direction for computer vision-based vehicle damage detection (classification, detection, segmentation), plus tree-based models and LLM-powered components.
- Own the ML roadmap: translate business goals into measurable technical plans, milestones, and KPIs.
- Architect scalable data/ML systems on GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow, Vertex AI) to train and serve models across hundreds of millions of images and claims.
- Guide high-quality delivery in a monorepo: reviews, standards, design docs, testing, reproducibility, and CI/CD.
- Drive production MLOps: containerization, GKE/Cloud Run, observability (Grafana), cost/performance tuning, SLOs.
- Shape APIs and services (FastAPI) and internal tools (Streamlit) to accelerate adoption and experimentation.
- Engage cross-functionally with product and platform to prioritize impact and de-risk delivery.
- Balance leadership and hands-on work; scope of people management and IC work is adaptable to your strengths.
- People leadership
- Manage, coach, and grow ML Engineers; run 1:1s, feedback, and career development.
