Data Engineer Co-Op

The Plymouth Rock Home Group is an innovative Insurtech start-up within a successful, well-established insurance organization. We quadrupled topline revenue over the past 4 years by revolutionizing the way homeowners insurance is priced, marketed, bought, and sold. Our customers obtain a home insurance quote in seconds using our @Home quoting engine. But the fast quote is not the real innovation. We collect large, detailed data about homes, homeowners and where they are located. The @Home product uses cutting edge techniques from skilled data scientists across machine learning and artificial intelligence to create models that predict loss costs, likelihood to buy, the best service and coverages we can offer, and the best way to provide them. The result is a simplified sales process and a feature-rich coverage package that our distributors want to sell and consumers want to buy.
