    We are seeking a Lead AI Engineer to build and evolve the software behind a lines AI systems and lead their development toward agentic systems - building the services and workflows that LLM-based agents use. Youll work day-to-day with agentic coding harnesses (e.g., Claude Code): break work into well-scoped tasks, direct AI agents to build and modify code, and review the output with calibrated scrutiny - spec-first, tested, and accountable for what your agents produce.

    Responsibilities

    • Maintain, refactor, and extend the lines AI applications and services in production

    • Build agentic-friendly software: the tools, services, and workflows that LLM-based agents call

    • Design AI workflows that combine models, prompts, tools, enterprise data, and business logic

    • Validate model behavior, outputs, and assumptions from an engineering and production perspective

    • Design and maintain evaluation frameworks for AI/LLM systems, including test suites and human evaluation workflows

    • Write evaluations and quality checks for agent behavior; build in grounding and assurance

    • Ensure reliability, scalability, cost control, and latency optimization

    • Help bring new agentic systems into production

    Requirements

    • 5+ years of experience in AI Solution Engineering

    • At least 1 year of relevant leadership experience

    • Strong software engineering proficiency in Python as the primary language, with other modern languages such as TypeScript, Java/Kotlin acceptable where production-quality code delivery is demonstrated

    • Forward Deployed Engineer mindset: desire to understand the business problem, the impact the solution makes, and drive pragmatic decisions toward realising it - including API, service, and integration engineering

    • Hands-on experience with LLM application patterns (prompting, retrieval-augmented generation, tool/function calling) and proven agentic development practice

    • Expert daily practitioner competency in agentic coding harnesses (e.g., Claude Code): spec-first decomposition, directing agents to build and modify production code, critically reviewing and owning generated output

    • Capability to pick up and improve an existing codebase

    • Skills in validating AI model behavior and outputs from an engineering and production standpoint

    • Background in hands-on agentic/LLM application development: agent loops, evaluations, and tool design

    • English proficiency at an Upper-Intermediate level (B2) or higher

    Nice to have

    • Familiarity with Palantir Foundry / AIP

    • Insurance or reinsurance domain exposure
