Shift Technology delivers AI agents that transform insurers' most critical work, combining deep industry expertise with unmatched data resources. They are seeking a Data Scientist / Engineer to actively contribute to the US-Insurance roadmap, working on various data types and building production-level data pipelines optimized for LLMs and multi-modal models.

Responsibilities:

• Your role will be to actively contribute to the US-Insurance roadmap and clients, and working on various data types such as structured data, free text, documents and images
• Build and productionize data pipelines (structured, text, documents, images) optimized for LLMs and multi-modal models
• Design, develop and deploy LLM-based solutions (RAG, embeddings, instruction tuning) for subrogation, claims handling, document understanding, and related use cases
• Experiment with the latest in Agentic AI technologies (Langchain/Langgraph, OpenAI Agent SDK, MCP, A2A) and develop MVP for the next generation of autonomous subrogation solutions
• Develop 'Chain-of-Thought' and 'ReAct' prompting strategies to ensure the agent can justify its liability percentages based on the Comparative Negligence laws of different jurisdictions
