We build AI-first, agent-driven products that change how Arch underwrites, services, and learns from its book - combining frontier LLMs, multi-agent orchestration (MCP, A2A), retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation harnesses, and traditional ML where it still wins.Our missionis broad: agentic automation, decision support, AI-driven insights, and the platform engineeringrequiredto make all ofitproduction-grade.

We have a strongtrack recordof success(productionalizingdozens of gen AI products over the last 3 years) -weaim to continue scaling these efforts and are seeking an AVP AI EngineeringSenior Agentic Software Engineer to lead the build-out of true multi-agent systems within Strategic Analytics.

This role sits at the seam between automation engineering (AE) and implementation engineering (IE). You will own everything from the master agent down through worker agents, while partnering with IE on theorchestrationentry points and any infrastructure-side connectors.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build multi-agent orchestration patterns (master-orchestrator + specialized worker agents) using protocols such as MCP and A2A.
• Lead end-to-end delivery of agentic underwriting and claimsautomations, from prototype through production hardening.
• Partner with IE on orchestration entry-point design (e.g., Azure Function endpoints, master-agent gateways) so the AE/IEseamis clean and scalable.
• Leadoffshore engineers and team members on agentic patterns, prompt engineering, and reliability practices.
• Establish coding, evaluation, and observability standards for agentic systems within the AI & Automation Center of Excellence.

• Hands-onexperiencewith at least one agentic framework (e.g.,LangGraph, Claude Cowork / Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents,AutoGen) and at least one inter-agent protocol (MCP, A2A).
• Resilient problem solving - comfortable with ambiguous problems and capable of breaking them into shippable increments.
• Strong written and verbal communication; able tooperateacross IE, AE, DS, and business stakeholders.
• Demonstrated, hands-on production experience (not POC-only) with the current AI stack: RAG, MCP / A2A or equivalent agent-to-agent protocols, agentic orchestration frameworks, and the ability to articulate where each is the right tool. Comfort scanning for and trialing new tooling asthe spaceevolves.

Desired Skills / Experience

• Background that includes a stretch of "real" software engineering before moving into analytics or AI (e.g., SWE for a few years, then a master's in analytics, then 5+ years in the AI/ML space).
• P&C insurance domain familiarity - underwriting, claims, or submission lifecycle.
• Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), evaluation harnesses, and structured-output patterns.
• Cloud experience in Azure (preferred for our stack) and/or AWS; familiarity with private endpoints and enterprise-grade safeguards.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams (onshore + offshore) for technology delivery.
• Visibletrack recordof self-directed learning in the AIspace - sideprojects, contributions to agentic frameworks, write-ups, conference talks, or other evidence that the candidate is investing personal time staying ahead of the curve.
