• Partner with business stakeholders to translate analytical and operational needs into clear technical and AI system requirements
• Build and support AI‑enabled analytical workflows using Python and SQL
• Extract, transform, and analyze data using Snowflake and dbt
• Design modular, production‑ready AI solutions leveraging AWS services (e.g., Bedrock, SageMaker, Lambda), in partnership with platform and engineering teams
• Apply a full‑stack analytics and AI mindset to ensure smooth data flow from backend data sources through AI logic to user‑facing interfaces
• Develop evaluation metrics and monitoring frameworks to assess accuracy, reliability, performance, and cost of AI and analytical models
• Research, prototype, and refine agentic AI solutions using orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph before scaling them into production workflows

What You’ll Bring (Required)

• 1+ years of experience in an analytically driven role
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL
• Working knowledge of dbt for analytics engineering and data transformation
• Hands‑on experience with Snowflake in large‑scale analytical environments
• Experience contributing to or working with AI agents, such as LLM‑based workflows, tool‑calling, or orchestrated prompt pipelines

Preferred

• Familiarity with insurance data, including exposure to claims, policy, or actuarial datasets
