Role description

We are seeking a Senior AI Data Engineer, Data Platforms , to work day-to-day with agentic coding harnesses (e.g., Claude Code), breaking work into well-scoped tasks, directing AI agents to build and modify code, and reviewing output with calibrated scrutiny - spec-first, tested, and accountable for what your agents produce.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain, refactor, and extend the line's 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, and 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 strong software engineering, primarily in Python, with other modern languages (TypeScript, Java, Kotlin) acceptable where production-quality code delivery is demonstrated
  • Forward Deployed Engineer mindset, with a desire to understand the business problem and the impact of the solution, and drive pragmatic decisions toward realizing it, including API, service, and integration engineering
  • Proficiency in LLM application patterns (prompting, retrieval-augmented generation, tool/function calling) and proven agentic development practice
  • Expertise as a daily practitioner of agentic coding harnesses (e.g. Claude Code), including spec-first decomposition, directing agents to build and modify production code, and 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, rather than a Data Science or ML research perspective
  • Hands-on experience in agentic/LLM application development, including agent loops, evaluations, and tool design
  • English proficiency at B2 level or higher

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with Palantir Foundry / AIP
  • Background in insurance or reinsurance domain
  • Familiarity with cloud AI services (e.g. Azure AI)
