Senior AI Engineer

Responsibilities

• Implement AI-enabled features, services, and APIs that integrate into existing enterprise workflows and applications, while adhering to established engineering, architecture, and security practices.
• Design and build integration patterns for external AI services (LLMs and ML APIs), including secure data handling, access controls, and auditability.
• Develop and maintain retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions for document-heavy workflows (e.g., submissions, endorsements, claims documentation) using enterprise data sources.
• Collaborate with Architecture and Engineering to support the implementation of an Agentic AI platform reference architecture and implementation.
• Create reusable AI components including Agentic Platform components to accelerate delivery across multiple use cases.
• Partner with architecture, engineering, data, and business stakeholders to translate needs into solution designs, requirements, and delivery plans.
• Establish AI engineering best practices for testing and evaluation (quality, safety, regression testing), and incorporate them into CI/CD pipelines.
• Implement monitoring and observability for AI solutions (latency, cost, quality signals, guardrail events) and define operational runbooks.
• Collaborate with others to support AI governance controls (vendor/model intake, risk reviews, documentation, and change management).
• Contribute to security hardening for AI systems, including safeguards against prompt injection, data leakage, and misuse.
• Document designs and deliver knowledge transfer to broaden internal capability and reduce reliance on external partners over time.
• Stay up to date with AI engineering tools, platforms, and patterns and recommend pragmatic adoption aligned to business value and risk posture.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building production systems (APIs, services, data pipelines, or enterprise integrations).
• Strong proficiency in at least one production language such as Python, C#, Java, or similar.
• Experience integrating third-party APIs and services; strong understanding of distributed systems, REST/JSON, and authentication/authorization patterns.
• Hands-on experience implementing LLM-based solutions (prompting, structured outputs, tool/function calling) and/or ML-enabled services.
• Working knowledge of RAG concepts (embeddings, vector search, grounding/citations); experience with vector databases or enterprise search platforms is a plus.
• Awareness of LLMOps/MLOps practices: versioning, evaluation, monitoring, incident response, and change control.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure) and production operations (secrets management, logging/monitoring, cost controls).
• Strong engineering hygiene: source control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, and performance monitoring.
• Understanding of AI risk and security considerations (prompt injection, data privacy/PII handling, vendor/model risk management) in regulated environments.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills; ability to translate business needs into technical solutions.
