Making 1 + 1 = 100

Tackle challenging projects with bright minds

Jillson loves her latest project. She’s currently working on accelerating ways that customers can leverage Arity’s valuable driving scores to deliver both smarter digital marketing (through Arity audiences) and more accurate and personalized insurance pricing (through Arity IQ). In short, it means delivering better data for better solutions, which sounds simple, but according to the VP of marketing and design, it isn’t always easy to use the same data across different parts of the industry.

I’m someone who always looks for the connections and loves finding ways for 1+1 = 100!

Real Big Data

Driving safer with better data

Rob’s team of data scientists and data and business analysts are seeking to answer one basic but challenging question: How do people drive? Their findings impact everything across the business, including Arity’s mobile app that detects hard braking, distracted driving and collision events, as well as their models that identify when someone is driving a car versus riding on a train. All for the good of making driving safer.

We use cutting-edge techniques from machine learning, signal processing, geospatial, and insurance economics to push the boundaries of what is possible in transportation, including a cloud-based data lake with over 200 billion miles of driving data.

“An Intense Curiosity”

Enjoy an open environment that encourages experimentation

Fuller and his co-workers always have the chance to experiment with new tech and learn from one another. The company hosts regular product showcases that give product mavens a chance to explain, in detail, how they approached a problem and delivered a solution to it. And once a month, Arity has a companywide “Learn Day” that features both internal and external speakers sharing new ideas, technologies and innovations about Arity and the industry. All of this leads to one of the most open technology cultures that Fuller has ever seen.

At Arity, there’s an intense curiosity around how our various teams are tackling unique challenges, and a number of venues to help us share what we’ve learned.
