This role offers the opportunity to shape enterprise AI strategy, accelerate intelligent automation, and deliver measurable operational improvements across high-volume healthcare processes. ### Accountabilities: - Define and own the AI/ML solution roadmap for end-to-end healthcare claims automation, aligning technical architecture and delivery priorities with enterprise transformation objectives. - Lead customer-facing discussions, technical workshops, and discovery sessions to identify business challenges, assess opportunities, and prioritize agentic AI use cases. - Design and implement scalable AI/ML architectures covering claims intake, data extraction, eligibility verification, medical coding validation, automated adjudication, fraud detection, payment processing, and denial management. - Lead the end-to-end delivery of enterprise AI/ML solutions, taking responsibility for technical execution, project planning, risk management, delivery quality, and stakeholder communication. - Architect and implement agentic AI systems using AWS Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, Strands SDK or equivalent frameworks, and supporting AWS services. - Design and orchestrate agentic AI patterns, including ReAct, tool use, and multi-agent collaboration, to address complex business processes and automate decision-making workflows. - Develop and oversee retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, vector stores, and relevant data retrieval technologies. - Guide model development, training, validation, deployment, and ongoing optimization throughout the healthcare claims lifecycle. - Establish AI/ML pipelines capable of processing enterprise-scale workloads, including millions of claims per month, while maintaining performance, reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency. - Define and implement AI/MLOps strategies covering model monitoring, retraining pipelines, drift detection, automated testing, and continuous improvement. - Build and manage evaluation frameworks for agentic AI systems, assessing output correctness, safety, latency, cost efficiency, and overall performance. - Implement observability, tracing, monitoring, and debugging capabilities through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Observability and related tools to ensure system transparency and operational reliability. - Collaborate with data scientists, AI/ML engineers, cloud architects, business analysts, healthcare subject matter experts, and other stakeholders to deliver production-grade solutions. - Ensure AI solutions meet enterprise expectations for security, reliability, maintainability, and responsible implementation while supporting continuous improvement throughout the delivery lifecycle. ## Requirements: - More than 10 years of experience in technology delivery, including at least five years leading AI/ML programmes at enterprise scale. - Extensive experience designing, developing, and deploying production-grade AI/ML solutions, with a proven track record of leading complex technology initiatives from strategy through implementation. - Strong expertise in agentic AI architectures, including ReAct patterns, tool calling, multi-agent orchestration, and autonomous workflow design. - Hands-on experience with AWS AI services, particularly Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, and familiarity with the Strands SDK or equivalent agent development frameworks. - Demonstrated ability to design and implement RAG architectures using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, vector databases, and related retrieval technologies. - Strong understanding of AI/ML engineering principles, including model development, training, evaluation, validation, deployment, and performance optimization. - Experience designing AI/ML and MLOps pipelines, including model monitoring, drift detection, automated retraining, testing, and production operations. - Familiarity with AI observability and evaluation practices, including tracing, debugging, safety assessments, latency measurement, and cost optimization for agentic systems. - Experience delivering scalable cloud-based AI solutions capable of supporting high-volume enterprise workloads, with strong architectural judgement and a focus on production reliability. - Knowledge of healthcare claims processing and related workflows, including claims intake, eligibility verification, medical coding, adjudication, fraud detection, payments, and denial management, is highly relevant to the role. - Ability to translate complex business requirements into practical AI architectures, technical specifications, and implementation roadmaps. - Strong customer-facing consulting skills, with the ability to facilitate technical workshops, influence stakeholders, communicate architectural decisions, and act as a trusted technical advisor. - Demonstrated programme leadership capabilities, including delivery planning, risk management, cross-functional coordination, and accountability for project outcomes. - Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to balance technical depth, business priorities, and operational requirements. - Ability to work effectively with distributed, multidisciplinary teams in a fully remote environment and manage competing priorities while maintaining high delivery standards. ## Benefits: - **Fully remote work:** Flexibility to work remotely from Anywhere. - **Contract-based opportunity:** An opportunity to contribute to a major enterprise AI/ML transformation initiative. - **Enterprise-scale impact:** The chance to develop AI solutions designed to automate healthcare claims processing at a scale of millions of claims per month. - **Advanced AI technologies:** Hands-on exposure to agentic AI, AWS Bedrock AgentCore, Strands SDK or equivalent frameworks, RAG architectures, and enterprise AI/ML operations. - **Technical leadership:** Opportunity to shape AI/ML architecture, establish implementation standards, and influence strategic technology decisions. - **Cross-functional collaboration:** Work alongside AI/ML engineers, data scientists, cloud architects, healthcare specialists, and business stakeholders. - **Professional development:** Opportunities to deepen expertise in intelligent automation, AI orchestration, model operations, and production-scale AI deployment.
