AI Engineer
AI Engineer
Role Summary
Designs, builds, and pilots AI-enabled solutions that support the PL Re business teams through experimentation, rapid prototyping, and value-led innovation. Operating within the Business & AI team, the role translates business problems into secure, scalable, cloud-hosted AI solutions suitable for a regulated reinsurance environment.
The role combines hands-on AI and full-stack development with strong engineering judgement, ensuring alignment with PL Re engineering standards, enterprise architecture, and security controls. A key focus is maintaining awareness of emerging AI technologies and applying relevant advances pragmatically.
The role works closely with the Global Experience Analysis (Global EA) engineering team to accelerate AI adoption while ensuring solutions can transition from experimentation into enterprise platforms where appropriate.
Key Responsibilities
AI Solution Design & Delivery
- Design, build, and pilot AI-enabled solutions that address PL Re business problems through experimentation and rapid prototyping.
- Translate business use cases into secure, scalable, cloud-hosted AI solutions aligned to enterprise standards.
- Deliver hands-on full-stack and AI development, producing solutions capable of transition into strategic or BAU platforms where appropriate.
- Design prototypes with explicit consideration for scalability, operability, data governance, and integration pathways if progressed beyond pilot.
AI Research & Innovation
- Research, evaluate, and stay current with emerging AI approaches, tools, and techniques.
- Assess the relevance and applicability of new AI capabilities within a regulated reinsurance environment.
- Apply insights from research to inform experimentation, solution design, and technical direction.
Engineering Excellence & Governance Alignment
- Ensure adherence to PL Technology engineering standards, architecture principles, and security controls.
- Partner with Enterprise Architecture and Information Security to meet governance and regulatory expectations.
- Ensure solutions respect data principles, including ownership, lineage, residency, and PII handling.
- Apply approved integration patterns when accessing platforms, data products, or external services.
