Job Description

We are seeking a well-rounded Data Scientist to support the development of advanced AI/ML solutions focused on claim automation and intelligent document processing (IDP). This role will work on building scalable systems that reduce manual intervention in claims workflows by leveraging a combination of traditional machine learning techniques and AI/LLMs.

The ideal candidate is solution-oriented, creative, and technically versatile, with the ability to take ambiguous business problems and design end-to-end technical solutions.

Key Responsibilities
• Design and develop production-grade Generative AI and agentic solutions
• Build AI agent frameworks, orchestration layers, and context engineering pipelines
• Develop and integrate MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for secure access to tools, APIs, and data sources
• Implement Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication patterns and multi-agent systems
• Write production-level Python code and support full AI lifecycle (design → deployment → monitoring)
• Partner cross-functionally with ML engineers, data engineers, and software teams
Research and apply emerging AI techniques, frameworks, and tools

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day.
