Develops and deploys machine learning systems for high-stakes decisions in pricing, claims, underwriting, and predictive health. Responsibilities span problem framing, quantitative research, experimentation, causal inference, predictive modeling, multimodal and foundation model development, agent systems, production deployment, and ongoing iteration. The role requires strong mathematical and statistical foundations, Python fluency, and expertise in machine learning, statistics, econometrics, or causal inference.
The summary above was generated by AI

As an Applied Scientist, AI/ML at QuantCo, you'll bring together advances in AI with rigorous economic and quantitative thinking to build models and systems that power high-stakes decisions across industries. Those systems tackle some of the hardest, most consequential problems our customers face, and you’ll carry the work from initial framing and research through experimentation, model development, and continued iteration in production.

We work in areas such as algorithmic pricing, claims management, underwriting, and predictive health. You’ll build on a shared technology base that improves with each new application, while choosing—and when needed, developing—methods to fit the problem. That might mean designing and analyzing experiments; combining predictive modeling with causal inference; developing multimodal models that combine images, text, and structured data; training foundation models on sequences of medical events; or building agents that work with complex data and workflows. The resulting systems run in production at organizations serving millions of people, informing and automating critical business decisions that affect billions of dollars. You’ll have unusual autonomy over how they’re designed and built.

There is no single path into this role. Our applied scientists come from AI research, economics, statistics, computer science, and other quantitative fields. The team brings together colleagues with PhDs as well as those with master’s and bachelor’s degrees. What they share is exceptional quantitative judgment, the ability to learn quickly, and the drive to turn ideas into systems that deliver measurable real-world impact.

You may be a strong fit if you have:

  • Deep expertise in at least one relevant area—such as machine learning, statistics, econometrics, or causal inference—and an interest in learning and working beyond it.

  • Strong command of the mathematical and statistical foundations behind machine learning, statistical inference, and experimental design.

  • Fluency in Python and its data and ML ecosystem (e.g., pandas/Polars, scikit-learn, PyTorch/JAX, XGBoost/LightGBM).

  • A degree in computer science, economics, statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering, or a related quantitative field.

Nice to have:

  • An advanced degree (MS/PhD) in one of the fields above.

  • Hands-on experience training, adapting, or evaluating deep learning and foundation models, or the curiosity and technical foundations to get there quickly.

What we offer:

You’ll join an intellectually curious, interdisciplinary team that thrives on solving difficult problems and developing novel solutions that work in practice. We care deeply about our customers and build thoughtful products that deliver meaningful impact. You'll work alongside colleagues who take one another’s ideas seriously, challenge each other thoughtfully, and are eager to learn across disciplines. We offer a generous compensation package that includes a base salary, bonus, and equity, along with additional location-based benefits.

What you need to know about the Seattle Tech Scene

Home to tech titans like Microsoft and Amazon, Seattle punches far above its weight in innovation. But its surrounding mountains, sprinkled with world-famous hiking trails and climbing routes, make the city a destination for outdoorsy types as well. Established as a logging town before shifting to shipbuilding and logistics, the Emerald City is now known for its contributions to aerospace, software, biotech and cloud computing. And its status as a thriving tech ecosystem is attracting out-of-town companies looking to establish new tech and engineering hubs.

Key Facts About Seattle Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 287,000; 13% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, software, biotechnology, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $3.1 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Madrona, Fuse, Tola, Maveron
  • Research Centers and Universities: University of Washington, Seattle University, Seattle Pacific University, Allen Institute for Brain Science, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle Children’s Research Institute
