As an Agentic Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and deploying sophisticated AI agent systems that can reason, plan, and execute complex insurance workflows autonomously. This role requires a combination of hands-on AI engineering, technical leadership, and strategic automation development to build intelligent agents that transform how our platform operates and serves customers.

Key Responsibilities
  • Agentic System Architecture: Lead the design and implementation of multi-agent systems using LLMs, vector databases, and agent orchestration frameworks to create intelligent, goal-oriented automation.
  • Reasoning & Planning Systems: Implement advanced reasoning capabilities including chain-of-thought processing, multi-step planning, and decision trees for complex insurance scenarios.
  • Observability & Monitoring: Design comprehensive observability frameworks for agent systems including real-time performance metrics, decision tracing, and behavioral analytics to ensure full visibility into autonomous operations.
  • Testing & Quality Assurance: Implement rigorous testing strategies for agentic systems including unit testing for agent components, integration testing for multi-agent workflows, and adversarial testing for edge cases and failure modes.
  • Regulatory Compliance & Governance: Establish comprehensive governance frameworks that ensure agent decision-making processes meet insurance regulatory requirements including audit trails, explainability standards, fair lending compliance, and state insurance commission oversight requirements.

Qualifications
  • Expertise in LLMs and Agent Frameworks including OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, LangChain, CrewAI, or similar platforms for building autonomous AI systems.
  • Strong software engineering background with proficiency in Python, TypeScript, and modern AI/ML deployment patterns including vector databases, embedding systems, and real-time inference.
  • Experience with agent architecture patterns including React, function calling, multi-agent coordination, and tool use frameworks for complex workflow automation.
