Think space shuttles, world tours, wind farms, and even footballers’ legs.\nKi’s mission is simple. Digitally disrupt and revolutionise a 335-year-old market. Working with Google and UCL, Ki has created a platform that uses algorithms, machine learning and large language models to give insurance brokers quotes in seconds, rather than days.\nKi is proudly the biggest global algorithmic insurance carrier. It is the fastest growing syndicate in the Lloyd's of London market, and the first ever to make $100m in profit in 3 years.\nKi’s teams have varied backgrounds and work together in an agile, cross-functional way to build the very best experience for its customers. Ki has big ambitions but needs more excellent minds to challenge the status-quo and help it reach new horizons.\nWhere you come in?\nWe're looking for an Algorithm Engineering Manager to join our algorithmic underwriting team. In this role, you'll partner with our Head of Algorithm Engineering to build and guide an effective algorithm engineering team, while helping us shape the bold vision of our underwriting algorithm.\nYou'll collaborate with colleagues across our business to solve exciting organisational and technical challenges. Together, we'll answer questions like: How can we organise our algorithm engineers for the greatest impact? And how can we share our company's future vision clearly with our team to help them shape the direction of algorithm engineering?\nWe're a multi-disciplined, commercially-focused team that brings together deep expertise in specialty insurance and scalable algorithm product development. Our squads focus on delivering high-impact features, and we favour a highly iterative, analytical approach. We love discovering new possibilities, so we actively invest time in research and development, both internally and with leading academic institutions.\nWhat you will be doing:\nAct as an advocate for the vision of Ki’s Underwriting Algorithm both within the team and the wider community.\nKeep current with trends and issues in the technology industry. Advise, counsel, and educate executives and management on their competitive or financial impact.\nHelp shape and execute Algorithm Engineering team’s strategy.\nWork with the algorithm and engineering leadership to shape the architecture across algo related domains and their interfaces with the rest of the engineering org and seek to reduce complexity and solve problems through it.\nEnsure that Ki is well positioned to explore new algorithmic underwriting strategies, and exploit emerging technologies.\nHelp senior leadership to understand algorithm engineering capabilities and use to develop Ki’s product and strategy and guide investment to support this strategy.\nWork with colleagues to create and iterate governance processes around model lifecycle management, advocating and upholding model management best practices.\nLiaise with stakeholders to structure and evolve the roadmap for Ki’s Underwriting Algorithm.\nManaging and building a high-performance Algorithm Engineering team, influencing the hiring and development strategy of the team.\nDrive improvements in the way we operate as a digital underwriting capability.\nRequirements\nBachelor’s degree or higher in a STEM field, or equivalent practical experience (a PhD in a STEM field is a plus).\nCommercially minded.\nUnderstanding of the control and management of data products.\nExperience with Python programming and various software design patterns.\nDirect experience with at least one cloud provider.\nExperience interfacing and communicating with stakeholders on the value and execution of algorithmic approaches to commercial problems.\nManaging data science or engineering activity via both people management and technical leadership.\nExperience developing industrialised machine learning applications and services.\nUnderstanding the importance of market compliance and core regulatory requirements.\nUnderstanding of what it takes to build a good engineering culture.\nBenefits\nYou’ll get a highly competitive remuneration and benefits package. This is kept under constant review to make sure it stays relevant. We understand the power of saying thank you and take time to acknowledge and reward extraordinary effort by teams or individuals.\nWhat to expect during the recruitment process:\nInitial recruiter screening call\nInterview with hiring manager\nTechnical Interview (this may vary depending on the role)\nValues Interview","description_format":"text","description_chars":4527,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Property & Casualty Insurance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-21T12:06:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":59,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.791,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":50,"expected_fill_days":58,"reasons":["conf:2","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ki-algorithm-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ki-algorithm-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T04:43:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10301,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51448},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51448"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fki-algorithm-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fki-algorithm-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fki-algorithm-engineering-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ki-algorithm-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fki-algorithm-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1088966}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ki-insurance.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1088966},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
