Purpose:

Turn ambiguous customer problems into production AI capability, fast, as the technical half of the Value FDE and AI-FDE pair.

Job Responsibilities

Ship a working capability against the live backlog in the first week where feasible, then iterate.

Own the build end to end: model real data and process, design agentic workflows, integrate, evaluate, release.

Build close to the people who operate the process; no requirements hand-off.

Meet the Minimum Viable Autonomy bar (evaluation, observability, escalation, controls) before production.

Reuse and compose existing AIP and agent capabilities; feed proven patterns to the catalogue and R&D.

Leave the customer able to run, monitor and adjust what has been built.

Partners one-to-one with the Value FDE. BVDE and PDE are separate roles. Bengaluru engineers back 25 of the 80 pods.

How Success is judged:

Time to first working capability and time to production value.

Quality, safety, observability and reliability; customer adoption and independence.

Reuse harvested from field work; strength of the pair partnership.

Job Requirements

5+ years of software engineering; Python, Java, C++ or TypeScript; APIs and cloud.

Hands-on LLM or agentic workflows in production (retrieval, evaluation, tool use).

Engineer-diplomat with customer judgement; willing to travel to client sites.

Insurance systems: policy administration, claims, billing; or our platforms.

Data engineering, MLOps or security in regulated industries
