Job Description

Who we are:

Spot Pet Insurance is the fastest growing pet insurance company in North America. Our commitment to an exceptional end-to-end customer experience and our data-driven approach have quickly established us as a leading pet insurance provider. We're dedicated to providing pet parents with peace of mind by offering accessible and comprehensive coverage so their furry companions can lead happier, healthier lives. To demonstrate this, we recently joined forces with MrBeast to find homes for 100 homeless pets and committed to giving each of them pet insurance for life! Along the way, we’ve created a company culture that allows our employees to thrive, with perks like daily free meals, a pet-friendly office, and ridiculously fun company events every quarter. Our dedication to fostering a positive and rewarding work environment for our team has even earned us a Great Place to Work certification.

About the Role:

Love Pets? Love AI? Let's Talk.

We’re looking for a Data Scientist who treats AI like a trusted teammate and thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving environment. If you're already using large language models, AI coding assistants, and automated analysis tools every day, you'll fit right in here. At Spot, we help pet parents protect the animals they love. Your work will make that protection smarter and more personal.

Key Responsibilities

• Team up across the company to find problems worth solving with data.
• Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and others) to write, debug, and ship code faster.
• Build predictive models for pricing, claims, fraud detection, and customer behavior.
• Design experiments and measure what works. You know correlation isn't causation.
• Run marketing mix modeling to show where our dollars work hardest.
• Create customer models that help us earn trust and keep it.
• Build internal tools and data products that help your teammates answer their own questions and make better decisions without waiting on you.
• Share your findings in ways everyone can understand. Skip the jargon.
• Keep learning. AI and machine learning move fast. So should you.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Real experience as a Data Scientist in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong programming skills in Python, R, and SQL, including data and ML libraries (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Experience with BigQuery and Databricks.
• Solid grounding in statistics, hypothesis testing, and experimental design.
• Daily use of AI assistants for coding, analysis, and problem-solving. We'll ask for examples.
• Experience building dashboards, self-serve tools, or internal data products for non-technical users.
• You explain complex ideas clearly

About AI Proficiency

This matters. We'll ask how you use AI tools in your current work. We want specifics, not buzzwords. If AI isn't already part of how you get things done, this role won't be a good fit. But if you're the type who's always looking for ways to work smarter, we'd love to hear from you.

About Location

We work together in our downtown Miami office five days a week. This is non-negotiable. We believe the best collaboration happens in person, and this role requires it.

What we offer:

• The opportunity to work on challenging and impactful projects at the intersection of design and data.
• A collaborative and supportive work environment, recognized as a Great Place to Work.
• Cell phone allowance of $100 per month
• Health, dental, and visions benefits
• Life insurance
• ClassPass
• Unlimited PTO
• Bring your pet to work
• Your pet insurance is covered (Up to $100)
• 401k with Company match
• Annual performance-based bonus
