Sr Data Scientist - GD07AE
We're determined to make a difference and are proud to be an insurance company that goes well beyond coverages and policies. Working here means having every opportunity to achieve your goals - and to help others accomplish theirs, too. Join our team as we help shape the future.
The Hartford's CEO has committed publicly to shareholders that we will lead the insurance industry in AI. The AI Accelerator - Claims & Operations is at the heart of that commitment, serving as the company's innovation hub and center of excellence for scouting, researching, and prototyping emerging AI technologies.
Our Mission: to deliver scalable, end-to-end solutions, reusable capabilities, and knowledge that drive real business impact.
Our current focus is developing agentic AI workflows to automate and transform claims processing, while also advancing other strategic AI projects across Claims & Operations. This is a rare opportunity to shape how AI innovation is researched and deployed across an enterprise committed to leading its industry.
This role can have a Hybrid or Remote work schedule. Candidates who live near one of our locations will have the expectation of working in an office 3 days a week (Tuesday through Thursday).
Responsibilities & Qualifications
+ Research & Scouting: Stay ahead of the fast-moving AI landscape by studying, prototyping, and assessing emerging technologies (LLMs, agentic systems, multimodal AI, advanced ML). Help determine where and how they can create business value.
+ Solution Design: We develop first-time solutions to unique challenges, requiring strong analytic skills, resourcefulness, experience in crafting AI solutions, and judgment about the feasibility of different approaches.
+ Software Development: We deploy AI systems in production, so you need to write production-grade code in Python. This includes object-oriented programming, unit testing, version control using Git, and familiarity with (or curiosity about) design patterns and best practices in software architecture.
+ Experimentation & Evaluation: We guide the development of AI solutions by evidence and measure performance of specific steps and end-to-end solutions. You will need to design pragmatic experiments with solid methodology and meaningful metrics.
+ Data processing & Analysis: While our focus is on unstructured data with Gen AI, we still regularly handle tabular datasets, requiring mastery of the traditional data science toolkit (e.g., pandas, SQL, Excel, matplotlib).
+ Communication & Collaboration: We partner on projects with other teams and serve as a Gen AI expertise hub across the enterprise. A collaborative approach and effective communication are key to your success.
Additional qualifications:
+ Professional experience with Gen AI using LLMs
+ Experience working in Agile
+ Experience with cloud architecture, with bonus points to GCP

About Us ( | Our Culture ( | What It's Like to Work Here ( | Perks & Benefits (
Every day, a day to do right.
Showing up for people isn't just what we do. It's who we are - and have been for more than 200 years. We're devoted to finding innovative ways to serve our customers, communities and employees-continually asking ourselves what more we can do.
Is our policy language as simple and inclusive as it can be? Can we better help businesses navigate our ever-changing world? What else can we do to destigmatize mental health in the workplace? Can we make our communities more equitable?
That we can rise to the challenge of these questions is due in no small part to our company values that our employees have shaped and defined.
And while how we contribute looks different for each of us, it's these values that drive all of us to do more and to do better every day.
