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)
