Our team missions & drivers

We simplify complexity and deliver the best product for our clients

Real world problems can be infinitely challenging. We strive to ensure that the complexity we bring to our models and product makes sense and provides benefits to the end user.

We strive for improvement every day, and a sustainable and scalable codebase

Using agile principles, we challenge the current state and develop better implementation and coding practices. Once a feature is built, we are never satisfied with its status and we continually investigate bottlenecks and limitations as they arise to make it more and more efficient.

We make Machine Learning a tool for humans

We will always organize our efforts to reach company goals and to ensure our clients always get the best support. We believe that Machine Learning empowers humans and does not replace them. In the same way that a truck allows workers to carry more loads, Machine Learning allows actuaries to process more data and generate models with a higher predictive power.

We have a strong sense of community

We support each other and take actions as a team.

It is hard to get bored working as a software engineer at Akur8, which makes it the most appealing to me. Working on different stacks and on several features can be challenging, but rewarding. Our pace is dynamic and we don’t run out of technical topics to share and discuss. The team is reliable and very passionate and I genuinely have a lot of fun working here!

Ludovico, Lead Data Scientist

At Akur8, everything moves fast. There is space to make an impact and to learn about a lot of different topics. On any given day I may be working on understanding client needs, cloud infrastructure or cold hard math. It is always interesting and never boring.

Senior Data Scientist Aymon working

Aymon, Senior Data Scientist

I love that I can work on a variety of topics from math to programming to creating models with clients. I get to work on ambitious features for our cutting-edge product, and I can see the direct impact I'm having at all company levels.

Data Scientist Julien working

Julien, Data Scientist

At Akur8, I love the diversity of topics and assignments, which allow me to use and develop my skills in mathematics, computer science, as well as client enagement. The team atmosphere is collaborative and trusting, and drives us forward to face new challenges. Work feels impactful and rewarding!

Lead Data Scientist Arun working

Arun, Lead Data Scientist

What I particularly enjoy working at Akur8 is seeing a feature I implemented being used by clients to solve real-world problems, and getting their feedback. I also love working with clients to understand their pain points during a pilot and then to propose solutions. Being part of a team of people who are good at their jobs and have a collaborative mindset - that's what excites and drives me each day.

A day in our team...

We build a technical product for technical people. This requires us to both develop highly complex features, and check that the product makes sense overall. A typical day at Akur8 for a developer involves a lot of development, code reviews and working with peers on architecture or complex problematics. 60% of a data scientist's day is dedicated to coding, 30% to understanding the business needs via demo, product discssion, etc., ... and 10% to make sure our solution remains state of the art! Of course, it also includes working closely with the amazing product, design and customer success teams. Along with that, we also have ping pong tournaments, duck decorations, coding challenges and team drinks happening throughout the day.
