Full Job Description
Assurant is looking for a Software Engineer with an AI focus to help build and ship AI-powered products in production. In this role you will implement features across the AI stack - model integration, retrieval pipelines, evaluation, and the services that support them - working alongside senior engineers who will help you grow into deeper technical ownership over time.

This is a hybrid role base out of our Atlanta or Miami office.

What will be my duties and responsibilities in this job?

  • Build, test, and ship features for production AI systems, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, agentic workflows, and model orchestration components.
  • Write and maintain evaluation cases and test suites that catch regressions in AI system quality before they reach users.
  • Implement and iterate on prompts, tool/function definitions, and guardrails, using eval results to guide changes rather than intuition alone.
  • Contribute to the services, APIs, and data pipelines that AI features depend on, including instrumentation, logging, and dashboards.
  • Investigate production issues - latency spikes, cost anomalies, quality regressions, failed tool calls - and implement fixes.
  • Participate in code review, design discussions, and post-incident analyses, asking questions and sharing what you learn.
  • Work closely with Product, Design, and Data Science teammates to turn requirements into working software and to flag tradeoffs early.
  • Keep documentation and runbooks current for the systems you work on.


What are the requirements needed for this position?

  • 2+ years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production software.
  • Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, C#).
  • Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs into an application - prompting, structured outputs, and function/tool calling - through professional work, internships, or substantive personal projects.
  • Working knowledge of core backend fundamentals: REST APIs, databases, version control, testing, and debugging.
  • Curiosity about how AI systems behave in the real world, and a willingness to measure results rather than assume them.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, and comfort asking for help and giving updates.


What other skills/experience would be helpful to have?

  • Familiarity with AI orchestration frameworks such as Semantic Kernel, LangGraph, or LangChain.
  • Exposure to vector databases, embedding models, or semantic search.
  • Experience with a major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and observability tooling.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent.
  • Awareness of responsible AI practices including safety testing, content filtering, and bias considerations.
  • Open-source contributions, technical writing, or side projects involving LLMs.
