TL;DR

GEICO is hiring a Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer to lead the development and deployment of ML systems within its Claims organization, focusing on predictive models, data pipelines, and MLOps practices that drive business outcomes. This role involves collaborating with engineering teams, data scientists, and product leaders to design AI-powered capabilities such as severity predictions and claim outcome forecasting. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in architecting multi-component ML platforms using tools like Elasticsearch, Snowflake, Kafka, and Airflow, along with hands-on expertise in MLOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, model registries, and observability frameworks. Additionally, familiarity with Generative AI technologies to enhance existing ML systems is a plus, as the role requires deep understanding of insurance-specific challenges such as claims automation and regulatory compliance.
