Build and maintain the supporting data systems, analytics, and monitoring infrastructure required for complex, production-level AI/ML systems.
Research, develop, and evaluate new AI applications using cutting-edge techniques, including LLM models and agentic frameworks, to solve critical business challenges in risk adjustment.
