About the Role

AmeriLife is establishing an enterprise AI capability from the ground up, with a federated model where a central team owns the data platform and reusable AI services, while solution architects embedded in business verticals build AI agents and LLM-powered services. This role is focused on engineering and shipping AI agents and LLM-powered services on Databricks and Azure to automate workflows in contracting, commissions, and distribution operations, alongside classic data science tasks like forecasting and propensity modeling.

Responsibilities

  • Designing, building, evaluating, and shipping multi-step AI agents and LLM-powered services into production.
  • Finding and shaping high-value use cases with vertical leaders; providing reference architecture, reusable patterns, and build-vs-buy input.
  • Building and validating predictive models for forecasting, propensity, and segmentation, and designing evaluations.
  • Engineering features and pipelines on the Lakehouse to serve models and agents.
  • Communicating results plainly to diverse audiences.
  • Documenting intended use, limitations, training-data assumptions, testing approach, and monitoring plans for production models and agents.
  • Applying de-identification and least-privilege access when working with sensitive data.
  • Flagging fairness and unfair-discrimination risks for relevant models and routing for review.
  • Building for auditability with reproducible code, documented lineage, and recordkeeping.
  • Build and ship AI agents that complete real business workflows.
  • Engineer the necessary components for agents, including tool definitions, retrieval strategy, state management, orchestration, and error handling.
  • Integrate evaluation into the build process, including golden datasets, offline/online evaluations, and human-in-the-loop review.
  • Instrument and operate shipped solutions with monitoring, alerting, and clear ownership.
  • Harvest reusable components into a shared services catalog.
  • Embed with vertical leaders to observe work and translate business problems into solution designs.
  • Establish reference architectures and preferred patterns for the vertical and contribute them back to the center.
  • Provide judgment on build-versus-buy decisions and the appropriate use of agents versus other automation methods.
  • Design measurements for models, including baselines, holdouts, and A/B testing.

Requirements

  • 3+ years building AI or ML systems in production, including hands-on experience designing and shipping LLM-powered agents or multi-step AI workflows.
  • Practical fluency with at least one agent framework or SDK (e.g., Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, LangChain, Databricks Mosaic AI Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel).
  • Experience with tool and function calling, including defining tools, wiring agents to internal APIs and data, and handling structured outputs.
  • Experience with RAG and grounding, including chunking and retrieval strategy, vector search, and semantic/hybrid retrieval.
  • Experience with prompt and context engineering as an engineering discipline, including versioning, testing, and evaluation.
  • Experience with systematic AI evaluation, including building eval sets, measuring quality and regression, and implementing guardrails.
  • Sound judgment on traditional ML versus generative AI versus deterministic automation and their trade-offs.
  • Strong hands-on Databricks experience, including notebooks, clusters, jobs, Workflows, and developing production-grade code.
  • Advanced SQL and solid PySpark for large-scale transformation and feature engineering on a Lakehouse.
  • Experience with Unity Catalog for governance, lineage, and access control; Delta Lake and medallion architecture patterns.
  • Experience with MLflow for experiment tracking, model registry, and deployment.
  • Production experience on Microsoft Azure, including Azure OpenAI or Azure AI Foundry, and deploying services.
  • Strong Python engineering practice: modular, tested, reviewable code with Git-based version control.
  • Experience with API design and integration, including REST, authentication, and secrets handling.
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and CI/CD for data and AI workloads.
  • Working understanding of cloud-native architecture, identity and RBAC, and data governance in a regulated environment.
  • Solid foundation in statistical modeling and machine learning, with the judgment to match the method to the business problem.
  • Experience building and validating supervised models on structured data and taking at least one to production.
  • Time-series forecasting experience, and comfort with hypothesis testing and rigorous model evaluation.
  • Comfort with imperfect real-world data.
  • Demonstrated ability to work directly with non-technical business leaders to discover opportunities, frame problems, and set expectations.
  • Full production ownership from problem definition through deployment, adoption, and iteration.
  • Experience leading delivery at the project or pod level: planning, sequencing, and accountability for an outcome.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to executives.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience with a strong portfolio of shipped work.
  • 6–10 years of combined software, data, or AI/ML engineering experience, with at least 2 years hands-on with LLM-based systems.
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
