Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and deploy AI agents leveraging large language models (LLMs), tool orchestration, and decision logic to automate complex business workflows and analytical tasks.
- Develop agent architectures (single- and multi-agent systems) that integrate models, APIs, databases, and enterprise systems to execute end-to-end automation reliably.
- Implement prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), memory, and reasoning strategies to improve agent accuracy, robustness, and contextual awareness.
- Partner with engineering, product, and business teams to identify opportunities where autonomous or semi-autonomous agents can reduce manual effort, improve speed, or enhance decision quality.
- Operationalize AI agents using MLOps/LLMOps best practices, including versioning, monitoring, cost management, security, and responsible AI controls.
- Assess and manage risks related to AI agents, including hallucination, bias, data privacy, security, and failure modes, and implement appropriate safeguards.
- Build reusable agent components, tools, and frameworks to accelerate development and promote standardization across teams.
- Measure and communicate the business impact of AI agents through defined success metrics such as efficiency gains, accuracy improvements, and user adoption.
- Stay current with advancements in agentic AI, LLM platforms, orchestration frameworks, and automation technologies, and translate emerging capabilities into practical enterprise solutions.
Qualifications & Experience
- Advanced degree in Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, with experience commensurate to degree level.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience developing, validating, and deploying machine learning models in applied settings.
- Strong foundation in probability, statistics, experimental design, and statistical modeling.
- Proficiency in Python and experience with common data science and ML libraries (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn or similar).
- Hands-on experience with data wrangling techniques, including fuzzy matching, text processing, and working with large or distributed datasets.
- Familiarity with core software engineering and data science best practices such as version control, testing, logging, and reproducibility.
- Proven analytical and problem-solving skills with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
- Prior experience in regulated industries such as insurance or financial services is a plus.
