Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Job description

Insurance isn’t the first industry most engineers think of when they imagine cutting-edge AI work. That’s exactly why this role is interesting. CFC’s Data & AI unit is building production agentic systems that automate complex underwriting decisions - not chatbots, not copilots bolted onto legacy workflows, but autonomous multi-step AI agents that reason over unstructured data, assess risk, and drive real business outcomes. We’re using frameworks like LangChain to orchestrate LLM-driven services that sit at the heart of how the business operates. The problems are genuinely hard: ambiguous inputs, high-stakes decisions, and the kind of domain complexity that makes for satisfying engineering. We’re also fundamentally rethinking how we deliver software. We’re moving toward an agentic-first development model - using AI agents not just in what we build for the business, but in how we build it. The goal is to multiply engineering delivery by an order of magnitude: not by cutting corners or generating throwaway code, but by designing robust systems and processes that let agents handle well-defined work while engineers focus on architecture, design, and the problems that actually require human judgment. This is a deliberate, engineering-led approach. We care about code quality, testability, and maintainability - the agent-generated code meets the same standards as everything else. We expect that a successful candidate will be able to bring their expertise to help guide and refine our agentic development process as it matures - a meaningful opportunity to influence how we work as well as what we ship. This is a Senior Machine Learning / AI Engineer role with genuine technical leadership scope. You’ll shape the architecture of AI-driven production microservices, own system design decisions, and work at the intersection of traditional software engineering and applied AI. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, data scientists, and product managers in a team that’s small enough for your decisions to matter and ambitious enough for the work to stay interesting.
