Our team shapes the technical foundations used across all Tractable products, currently focused on auto insurance and natural disaster recovery. Our mission is to leverage the latest ML research to solve hard science problems necessary to transform the insurance industry (& more). We focus on creating mission-critical AI systems solving some of the trickiest problems in computer vision, and our innovation has already improved the lives of 100,000s of people so far (really). We’re a fun and ambitious team, and looking for someone to join us on our exciting journey!
Auto organization – Who we are & What we do
Our organization is responsible for building products for the automotive industry. We have already built 2 products (Estimating, Review) sold globally to insurers.
Our long-term vision is to build a platform ecosystem that we can leverage to effortlessly build new products and use cases. Our current mission is to create a reliable and safe “virtual” motor appraiser/expert as a service, we can leverage to solve many use cases across the automotive industry. We are doing so, by building high-quality input capture mechanisms for our users, creating a state-of-the-art damage assessment stack for auto damage, or delivering explainable and human-centric decision-making engines.
We are working hand-in-hand with engineering teams to turn our R&D prototypes into mission-critical systems.
