  • Knowledge of Databricks, Apache Spark, Hadoop, or similar technologies for large-scale data processing.
  • Ability to translate complex AI concepts into actionable roadmaps, guiding junior team members and stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Define and execute AI strategy, focusing on innovative, agentic AI workflows that enable autonomous or semi-autonomous decision-making.
  • Collaborate with leadership and cross-functional teams to align AI initiatives with business objectives.
  • Oversee the full AI lifecycle—from data ingestion and model training to deployment and monitoring—to ensure high-impact, scalable solutions.
  • Continuously refine AI workflows, leveraging best practices in model iteration and optimization.
  • Design, prototype, and implement AI agents that can learn, adapt, and interact with users or systems with minimal human intervention.
  • Utilize reinforcement learning, advanced machine learning techniques, and robust data pipelines to power autonomous or semi-autonomous AI systems.
  • Build and maintain scalable data architectures in support of AI models, ensuring robust data ingestion, transformation, and storage.
  • Implement ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines—preferably using Airflow—to guarantee clean, reliable data for AI model training and validation.
  • Partner with data scientists, software engineers, and product teams to develop and deploy AI solutions that meet evolving business needs.
  • Present progress and insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, driving consensus and facilitating decision-making.
  • Optimize AI models and data pipelines to handle large data volumes and complex AI scenarios without compromising performance.
  • Develop robust monitoring and alerting systems to maintain consistent model performance.
  • Evaluate and fine-tune models for speed, accuracy, and cost-efficiency.
  • Employ big data technologies (e.g., Apache Spark, Hadoop) and cloud platforms (Azure, Google Cloud, Databricks) to enhance operational efficiency.
  • Maintain clear, comprehensive documentation for AI processes, data pipelines, and agentic workflows.
  • Ensure adherence to industry standards, data governance, and compliance requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to insurance datasets and domain-specific challenges is a plus.
