In this role, you will:
- Design and implement scalable AI architectures leveraging machine learning, LLMs, and generative AI to modernize payer workflows and improve operational efficiency
- Develop end-to-end solution blueprints covering data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and deployment aligned with enterprise standards
- Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate payer domain needs (claims, benefits, utilization management) into AI-driven solutions
- Build reusable AI components for use cases such as prior authorization, claims triage, fraud detection, and member engagement
- Establish responsible AI frameworks including governance, fairness, explainability, and monitoring to ensure compliant and ethical AI solutions
