AI Product Engineer

Role Overview

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of insurance data products — including pricing tools, scenario modeling, experience analysis, and underwriting support platforms — from requirements gathering through production deployment and ongoing enhancement.
• Define and prioritize the product backlog for your portfolio, ensuring stakeholder needs across actuarial, underwriting, and decision science teams drive platform evolution.
• Measure product performance through KPIs tied to business outcomes — pricing accuracy, quote velocity, analysis turnaround, underwriting efficiency — and adjust the roadmap based on real results.
• Make critical trade-off decisions in collaboration with leadership to maximize value delivery across competing priorities.
• Build deep domain expertise in Management Liability insurance workflows, becoming the trusted technical partner for your lines of business.
• Extend the embedded AI development model to modernize insurance analytics tools using GenAI capabilities — including document intelligence, conversational data exploration, and automated analysis generation.
• Prototype and iterate on AI-powered solutions in real-time using Claude Code, agentic workflows, and modern platform services.
• Build proof-of-concepts that demonstrate feasibility for new AI capabilities within insurance workflows.
• Partner with actuaries, underwriters, and decision scientists to test and validate AI solutions in their actual working environment, ensuring real-world effectiveness before scaling.
• Identify opportunities to apply GenAI techniques — RAG, entity extraction, structured output generation — to accelerate insurance analytics processes that currently require manual effort.
• Build and operationalize data pipelines that capture, transform, and deliver data to support AI/ML and business intelligence initiatives.
• Develop automation for repetitive insurance analytics processes and workflows, directly impacting pricing outcomes, underwriting quality, or operational efficiency.
• Create reusable templates, reference implementations, and platform abstractions that accelerate future AI-powered tool deployments across additional lines and use cases.
• Leverage Python, SQL, and cloud-native services (Databricks) to build scalable, production-grade solutions.
• Gather and document requirements from teams across Management Liability, Surety and Claim — actuarial, underwriting, and research & development — translating business needs into clear technical specifications.
• Manage IT delivery partnerships and monitor delivery to ensure solutions meet business needs and timelines.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or applied AI/ML development.
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL.

• Demonstrated ability to own outcomes end-to-end — from problem identification through production delivery — not just execute assigned tasks.
• Experience working directly with business stakeholders to translate needs into technical solutions.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to make technical concepts accessible to non-technical partners.
