TL;DR · Senior AI Machine Learning Engineer

The Senior AI Machine Learning Engineer joins the Employee Benefits Applied AI and Analytics team to build, deploy, and sustain enterprise-scale predictive and applied AI solutions. This hands-on technical lead role involves managing a predictive model portfolio while expanding into generative AI and agentic AI capabilities across pricing, underwriting, and sales workflows. You will translate architectural designs into production-ready code, manage data pipelines for training and inference, and mentor junior engineers. The role requires expertise in Python, SQL, Git, and CI/CD practices within AWS and GCP environments. Key responsibilities include implementing RAG patterns, prompt orchestration, and model monitoring while ensuring governance and security standards are met. This position addresses complex business problems within the insurance industry, specifically focusing on automating and enhancing the policy lifecycle for employee benefits customers through advanced machine learning technologies.

What you'll do

  • Manage and modernize the existing predictive model portfolio for pricing, underwriting, and sales workflows.
  • Build and maintain production-ready AI/ML components and data pipelines in AWS and GCP environments.
  • Translate architectural designs into tested, reliable code and automated production workflows.
  • Develop generative AI and agentic AI solutions including RAG patterns, prompt orchestration, and guardrails.
  • Operate batch and near-real-time data pipelines for model training, feature generation, and inference.
  • Ensure implementation quality through code reviews, unit testing, documentation, and incident response support.
  • Maintain model governance artifacts including lineage, monitoring metrics, and operational controls.
  • Mentor junior engineers by breaking down technical tasks and reviewing their code and pipeline designs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field or 6+ years of equivalent experience in software, data, ML/DevOps, or applied AI engineering.
  • Master's degree in computer science, engineering, information technology, MIS, data science, or a related discipline (preferred).
  • Strong hands-on expertise in Python, SQL, SDLC practices, Git-based development, automated testing, and production-grade code delivery.
  • Experience deploying and operating data, AI, or ML workloads in AWS and GCP environments including storage, compute, IAM, logging, and monitoring.
  • Experience with ML engineering concepts such as feature pipelines, model training workflows, batch scoring, inference services, and drift detection.
  • Ability to lead implementation work, guide junior engineers, communicate tradeoffs, and manage multiple deliverables with limited direction.
  • Experience in insurance, employee benefits, pricing, underwriting, or policy lifecycle analytics (preferred).
  • Experience with generative AI/agentic AI patterns, orchestration tools like Airflow, CI/CD, containers, and infrastructure-as-code (preferred).
