[Hiring] AI Solution Engineer @AmeriLife

Role Description

AmeriLife is a national leader in insurance and financial services, and we are standing up an enterprise AI capability from the ground up. The model is deliberately federated: a small, senior center owns the data platform, reusable AI services, and governance — while solution architects embedded in our Health and Wealth verticals find the highest-value work and build it alongside the business.

This is one of the first of those embedded roles, and it is a builder’s job. You will spend most of your time engineering and shipping AI agents and LLM-powered services on Databricks and Azure — automating real workflows in contracting, commissions, and distribution operations where a national platform gives the economics real scale. The rest of your time draws on classic data science: the forecasting, propensity, and evaluation work that makes those solutions trustworthy and measurable.

Qualifications

• 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 (Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, LangChain, Databricks Mosaic AI Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, or similar).
• Strong hands-on Databricks experience — notebooks, clusters, jobs and Workflows.
• Production experience on Microsoft Azure, including Azure OpenAI or Azure AI Foundry.
• Solid foundation in statistical modeling and machine learning.
• Demonstrated ability to work directly with non-technical business leaders.

Requirements

• Build and ship AI agents that complete real business workflows.
• Engineer the unglamorous parts that make agents work: tool and function definitions, retrieval and grounding strategy, state and memory, orchestration, retries and failure handling.
• Build evaluation into the build, not after it.
• Instrument and operate what you ship.
• Harvest reusable components into the shared services catalog.
• Embed with your vertical’s leaders — operations, distribution, affiliate partners.
• Translate business problems into solution designs.
• Build and validate predictive models — forecasting, propensity, segmentation, anomaly detection.
• Document intended use, limitations, training-data assumptions, testing approach, and monitoring plan for every model and agent you put into production.

Benefits

• A comprehensive benefits package that includes PTO, medical, dental, vision, retirement savings, disability insurance, and life insurance.
