Remote Ran Optimization Engineer Jobs in Illinois

The AI Bot Optimization Specialist owns the ongoing performance, testing, and refinement of Inspira's virtual agent experience. This role analyzes conversation-level and aggregate performance data, runs structured tests ahead of and following changes, and tunes the AI Bot configuration and conversational flows to improve resolution rate, deflection, and customer satisfaction. The Bot Optimization Specialist works in close partnership with the Content Specialist(s), translating performance data into prioritized content and configuration fixes, and shares accountability for the digital experience's overall self-service effectiveness.

• Own day-to-day performance monitoring, testing, and refinement of Inspira AI bot, including, but not limited to, Fin Voice where applicable, targeting resolution rate, deflection, and CSAT goals.
• Conduct weekly review of conversation transcripts, escalations, and handoffs to identify knowledge gaps, mis-routed intents, and breakdowns in bot understanding.
• Design and execute structured test scenarios, including regression and A/B testing of flows and prompts, prior to and following knowledge base or configuration changes.
• Tune AI bot's retrieval configuration, intents, and conversational flows based on performance data and testing outcomes.
• Partner with the Content Specialist to translate identified knowledge gaps into prioritized content tickets, and validate that published fixes resolve the underlying issue.
• Monitor and test configuration changes affecting AI bot's suggestions for human agents.
• Maintain a bot performance dashboard covering resolution rate, deflection rate, CSAT, and escalation volume, reporting trends to leadership on a monthly cadence.
• Lead root-cause analysis for significant bot performance dips or recurring failure patterns, driving remediation with the Content Specialist and platform/IT support as needed.
• Monitor AI Insights, including CX Score, Topics Explorer, and Trends reports, to identify emerging customer topics not yet covered by the bot.
• Make light, time-sensitive content corrections directly, such as typo fixes or quick clarifications, to resolve an active bot failure, coordinating promptly with the Content Specialist to formalize the change.
