Script Engineer Jobs in Louisiana (NOW HIRING)

Department:

Job Description:

The AI Automation Engineer will develop AI-assisted automation, integrations, scripts, workflows, and reusable components that improve engineering productivity, testing, documentation, observability, incident response, and operational efficiency across The Mutual Group and its member insurance carriers. This is a hands-on engineering role for a practical builder who can use AI, automation, APIs, data, and modern engineering tools to simplify work, reduce manual effort, and improve the speed and quality of technology delivery.

This role will support the AI-First IT team by building automation capabilities that can be piloted, refined, and scaled across IT engineering, infrastructure, operations, and employee productivity use cases. The AI Automation Engineer will work closely with AI solutions engineers, architects, application teams, infrastructure and operations teams, data teams, security, risk governance, and business partners to deliver secure, reliable, and reusable automation assets.

The successful candidate will be curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where new AI tools and automation patterns are being tested. This role requires strong engineering discipline, practical problem-solving, and the ability to balance experimentation with secure and maintainable implementation.
