Data Scientist

At Prima we are revolutionizing the insurance world, starting with two fundamental pillars: data and the technology to harness it.

The speed and dynamism of the industry in which we operate requires us to continually make real-time decisions, such as pricing coverage for a specific user or the need for a fraud check for a reported claim. Almost all of these decisions are made automatically by dynamic systems and artificial intelligence engines that estimate the probability of future events and define the best possible action for Prima and its customers.
