AI / ML Lead

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced AI / ML Lead to define and execute the AI / ML strategy, with a strong focus on developing and deploying advanced models tailored to insurance use cases . You will lead the model lifecycle end-to-end, integrate GenAI / LLM solutions, and ensure governance and compliance in a regulated industry.

This is a founding-level opportunity to :

Shape the foundation of a next-gen insurtech platform.

Collaborate with a highly motivated team tackling real-world, high-impact challenges .

Design elegant, scalable systems that set new benchmarks for the industry.

Drive meaningful innovation in a space that is ripe for disruption .

Key Responsibilities

Define and drive the AI / ML strategy .

Design and implement native model integration frameworks .

Build scalable, objective-centric ML solutions for insurance applications (fraud detection, risk assessment, underwriting, claims automation).

Lead end-to-end ML lifecycle management — data preprocessing, model training, deployment, monitoring, and optimization.

Develop and fine-tune LLMs (GPT, Claude, LLaMA) with expertise in prompt engineering, RAG architectures, and evaluation frameworks .

Integrate ML models with enterprise applications (Java / Spring) via REST APIs.

Deploy and manage models in containerized environments (Kubernetes, Docker).

Establish governance for responsible AI : bias detection, explainability (LIME / SHAP), fairness metrics, and regulatory compliance.

Implement drift detection, automated monitoring, versioning, and A / B testing for continuous improvement.
