Our LLM service underpins our Generative AI powered risk digitization platform, providing a unified interface for internal services to leverage the power of LLMs at scale, regardless of the underlying foundational model.

You will be responsible for building, deploying, and optimizing LLM-powered solutions that directly impact our customer's ability to understand and process risk in commercial insurance.

• Evaluation & Optimization:
  • Develop and implement comprehensive evaluation metrics and tools to rigorously assess and iterate on the performance of LLM tasks.
  • Analyze task performance, identify areas for improvement, and implement strategies to optimize accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
• Production & Monitoring:
  • Monitor the performance of deployed LLM tasks in production, proactively identify and address issues, and ensure high reliability and accuracy.

• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to address complex AI challenges.
• Collaboration: Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Enthusiasm: A passion for using AI to solve complex problems and a willingness to learn.
• Experience in and strong knowledge of using AI/ML and more particularly LLMs e.g.:
