About the role
At Nirvana, we work with heterogeneous datasets and mine predictive signals to accurately
identify risks for businesses. Some of the data we work with includes,

● 100s of millions of GPS and sensor data points per vehicle, ingested and stored in our
proprietary data platform.
● Safety events like harsh braking, distracted driving, etc computed from sensors in
commercial vehicles.
● High-dimensional datasets containing, among others, decades of vehicle inspection,
crash, and violation data for all commercial vehicles in the US.
As a Data Scientist, you will work closely with our data engineering and insurance teams and
use these large datasets to help build data-driven insurance and safety products in a fast-paced
startup environment. You must enjoy working with large data and finding interesting patterns in
the data through analytics experiments in a methodical and data-driven scientific way.
The insurance / risk business has many unsolved problems where sophisticated use of
information plays a critical role.
