Remote role open to all U.S. states.

• Owns a build stream end to end within a pod: problem shaping with the Principal, implementation, production operation, and instrumentation of the outcome the business said it would measure.
• Designs, builds, and operates production Generative AI agents, workflows, and applications - including request orchestration, tool execution, state management, and interaction with enterprise systems.
• Develops full-stack software in Python and React, shipping both the service and the interface a business user touches.
• Owns deployment and operation on AWS, with infrastructure as code in Terraform and CI/CD in Git Hub Actions, including environments, secrets, and repeatable promotion to production.
• Implements evaluation, observability, and human-in-the-loop controls for AI systems: provenance on material outputs, confirmation on consequential claims actions, and evidence that a workflow is ready to move up the autonomy ladder.
• Implements authentication, authorization, logging, monitoring, and error handling to meet enterprise security, auditability, PHI, and reliability requirements.
• Integrates AI services with enterprise and legacy systems - including APIs, data platforms, and event streams - using approved, non-invasive patterns and versioned contracts.
• Stewards a shared capability as assigned (context, documents, agents, or assurance), with authority to block a duplicate build in another pod.
• Embeds with vendor delivery teams for co-development when the stream requires it: shared repositories in Sedgwick accounts, shared definition of done, not acceptance testing after a demo.
• Sits with examiners, nurse reviewers, or operations staff; watches the work; and turns that into scoped services, workflows, and UI changes.
• Provides technical guidance and mentoring to Junior AI Engineers, promoting engineering standards, code quality, and operational excellence.
• Troubleshoots and leads root cause analysis and performance optimization for latency, throughput, cost, correctness, and reliability of production AI services.
• Evaluates and recommends improvements to architecture, platform capabilities, and engineering process for the stream and the shared substrate.

• Performs other duties as assigned.
• Travel as required, including on-site work with claims or Managed Care operations and with vendor delivery teams.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline from an accredited college or university required.

Master's degree preferred.

Six (6) + years of software engineering experience, with at least three (3) years shipping production Generative AI agents, workflows, or applications - including evaluation, failure handling, and a human review loop - or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Hands-on experience building and operating production workloads on AWS required. Cloud certification without production ownership is not sufficient.

Hands-on experience with Python, React, Git Hub Actions, and Terraform required, including ownership of CI/CD and infrastructure rather than editing templates.

Experience embedding with business users or a vendor delivery team to co-develop, rather than receiving a completed specification, preferred.

Experience in insurance, claims, healthcare, or another heavily regulated operational domain preferred.

• Strong full-stack engineering skills in Python and React, with solid working knowledge of SQL, REST APIs, and service design
• Hands-on AWS: has built, deployed, and operated production services, including networking, identity, and operational concerns sufficient for a regulated environment
• Hands-on Git Hub Actions and Terraform: owns pipelines and infrastructure as code, including review, drift, and recovery
• Production command of Generative AI agents, workflows, and applications - tool use,…
