Job description

• Applied AI Engineer, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Required, Work From Home
• We are looking for an Applied AI Engineer to design, build, and optimize AI-powered features that sit directly inside our product workflows. The Applied AI Engineer role focuses on turning model capabilities into real product behavior, where AI interacts with users, supports decision-making, and powers automation across insurance journeys. This is a fully remote role where you will be part of a global engineering team working across multiple countries to build reliable, scalable AI-powered systems. This position is 100% Remote.
• MUST BE WILLING TO TAKE A 60 MINUTE CODING ASSESSMENT.
• - AI features are reliable, consistent, and production-ready across workflows.
• - User-facing AI interactions are intuitive and improve task completion rates.
• - Model outputs are measurable, testable, and continuously improving.
• - AI-driven automation reduces manual work in insurance processes.
• - Product teams can safely deploy AI features with controlled behavior.

Responsibilities

• - Build AI-powered product features integrated into real insurance workflows.
• - Design and optimize LLM-based interactions across customer and internal systems.
• - Develop prompts, reasoning flows, and structured AI outputs for production use cases.
• - Evaluate model performance using real-world data, feedback loops, and experiments.
• - Improve reliability of AI outputs through guardrails, fallback logic, and validation layers.
• - Work closely with backend engineers to integrate AI capabilities into APIs and workflows.
• - Design and implement AI-driven automation features (chat, recommendations, decision support).
• - Analyze user behavior and model responses to continuously improve AI performance.
• - Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to ship end-to-end AI features.
• - Contribute to AI system design decisions focused on usability and real-world impact.

Requirements

• - Artificial Intelligence (AI) experience required.
• - Experience working with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models).
• - Familiarity with prompt engineering, structured outputs, and tool use patterns.
• - Experience building or integrating AI features into real products.
• - Strong understanding of API-based system integration.
• - Ability to evaluate AI outputs critically using data and user feedback.
• - Experience with experimentation, A/B testing, or evaluation frameworks.
• - Strong product sense and focus on user experience.
• - Comfortable working in fast-paced, globally distributed teams.
