Lead AI/ML Engineer Remote Nationwide or Office-Based in MN/DC
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. From posting: - Intro paragraph: "Optum Tech is a global leader..." This is about the role/company. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in
. - "You'll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week." This could be schedule? It's about remote flexibility and office requirement. Could be Schedule section. But schedule is about work schedule/hours. This is about location and remote/hybrid. Might be considered Schedule? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting mentions remote flexibility and office requirement for certain locations. That's specific. So we can create a Schedule section with that content. - Primary Responsibilities: list of bullet points. We'll create Responsibilities section with
- .
- "You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance..." This is about benefits? It's about recognition and development. Could be Benefits? But there is later a Benefits paragraph: "In addition to your salary, we offer benefits such as, a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements)." Also earlier: "No matter where or when you begin a career with us, you'll find a far-reaching choice of benefits and incentives." So we have benefits content. We'll create Benefits section.
- Pay: "The salary for this role will range from $145,500 - $249,500 annually based on full-time employment." Also earlier: "Pay is based on several factors including but not limited to local labor markets, education, work experience, certifications, etc." So we have Pay section.
- Required Qualifications: list. That's Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. Usually Required Qualifications go under Requirements or Qualifications. We have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could put Required under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications, and maybe Skills separate if any. There's also mention of skills like Java/Spring Boot, ReactJS, AI/ML, Python, cloud, Docker/K8s, etc. Those are qualifications. Could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements, Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed separately if covered.
We also have "Solid knowledge of software engineering best practices..." that's part of Required Qualifications.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end, drug test, mission statements, etc. Those are boilerplate; we should remove them. Also "Application Deadline: This will be posted for a minimum of 2 business days..." is application instruction; remove. Also "At UnitedHealth Group, our mission..." etc. Remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information: intro about Optum Tech, remote flexibility, responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Keep specifics.
Let's extract content:
Intro: "Optum Tech is a global leader in health care innovation. Our teams develop cutting-edge solutions that help people live healthier lives and help make the health system work better for everyone. From advanced data analytics and AI to cybersecurity, we use innovative approaches to solve some of health care's most complex challenges. Your contributions here have the potential to change lives. Ready to build the next breakthrough? Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together."
Remote flexibility sentence: "You'll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week."
Responsibilities bullet list (as given):
- Own Discovery, technical scoping, system Design, build, and deploy production-grade software using AI models and scalable solutions to address complex business challenges, emphasizing responsible and ethical use of AI
- Lead and mentor 1 or more pods of engineers that build software using AI Development Life Cycle (AIDLC)
- Evaluate emerging AI/ML trends, frameworks, and methodologies to inform solution design, drive strategic innovation, and continuously optimize existing models
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, software engineers, and product managers, to translate complex business requirements into robust, reusable AI capabilities
- Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to junior and mid-level engineers, championing engineering best practices and architectural standards
- Troubleshoot, optimize, and maintain deployed models and pipelines to ensure high availability, scalability, and performance in production environments
- Use enterprise-approved AI tools to streamline workflows, automate tasks, and drive continuous improvement within the engineering lifecycle
Rewarded/recognized paragraph: "You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in." This could be part of Benefits? But we already have benefits paragraph. Might include in Benefits as part of recognition programs. We'll keep it in Benefits.
Required Qualifications list:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related quantitative field (or equivalent global degree)
- 10+ years of experience in Software Development industry
- 5+ years of experience with Java/Spring Boot
- 2+ years of experience with ReactJS or other JavaScript frameworks
- 2+ years of AI/ML engineering experience, with a proven track record of designing, building, and deploying ML models in a production environment
- Experience with Python and/or other ML libraries
- Experience with cloud platform environments (e.g., Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
- Solid knowledge of software engineering best practices, including version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and unit testing
Preferred Qualifications list:
- Experience with Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt engineering, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks
- Experience with distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Spark, Ray) and high-performance computing
- Experience working in the healthcare sector, specifically in clinical or behavioral health technology domains
- Solid understanding of data engineering principles, relational and non-relational databases (SQL, NoSQL, Vector databases)
- Proven excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical AI/ML concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Benefits paragraph: "In addition to your salary, we offer benefits such as, a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements). No matter where or when you begin a career with us, you'll find a far-reaching choice of benefits and incentives."
Pay paragraph: "Pay is based on several factors including but not limited to local labor markets, education, work experience, certifications, etc. In addition to your salary, we offer benefits such as, a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements)." Wait that repeats benefits. Actually the Pay paragraph includes that sentence about benefits; but we already have benefits section. We'll keep Pay focusing on salary range: "The salary for this role will range from $145,500 - $249,500 annually based on full-time employment. We comply with all minimum wage laws as applicable."
We should not duplicate benefits text in Pay. So we will extract only salary range and minimum wage compliance.
Schedule section: remote flexibility and office requirement.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
and content. Structure:
