Background
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) presents a transformative opportunity for Milliman to enhance operational efficiency and deliver innovative client solutions. To accomplish this goal a new practice named Milliman AI Solutions was established in January 2026. This practice ensures focused investment governance and accountability enabling the firm to accelerate development manage risk and capitalize on emerging technologies. This initiative reflects a commitment to building a sustainable business-driven AI capability that aligns with Millimans long-term growth objectives.

Role Purpose
Milliman AI Solutions is seeking an AI Engineer to help translate operational workflows domain knowledge expert-driven reasoning business problems and user needs into practical AI prototypes and MVPs for internal teams and client-facing solutions.

This role is intended for an early-career engineer who combines strong software engineering foundations with curiosity for insurance and business processes appetite for hands-on exposure to modern AI-native ecosystems and commitment to building solutions that demonstrate value quickly.

Working under the guidance of domain-knowledge business experts applied AI consultants senior AI engineers and senior AI architects the AI Engineer will rapidly explore use cases design solution approaches build working proof-of-concepts and validate their business value with stakeholders.

While the AI Engineer may contribute to developing scalable technical foundations and support the transition toward production the scaling industrialization and long-term operation of solutions will primarily be led by the Technology team.

Key Responsibilities:

Business Problem & Workflow Translation

• Work with domain-knowledge business experts applied AI consultants product owners and stakeholders to understand operational workflows expert-driven reasoning business problems and user needs.
• Identify where AI can augment expert judgment automate repetitive tasks improve access to knowledge or accelerate analytical workflows.

AI Prototype & MVP Development

• Design and build working AI prototypes proof-of-concepts and MVPs that demonstrate practical business value quickly.
• Develop prototype code bases lightweight applications APIs articulating prompts retrieval workflows agents and their evaluation scripts to test AI-enabled use cases.
• Prepare and structure data documents knowledge sources evaluation datasets and workflow logic needed to validate prototypes.

Stakeholder Validation & Iteration

• Validate prototypes with business stakeholders domain experts and end users to assess usability relevance accuracy limitations and potential business impact.
• Iterate rapidly based on feedback testing outcomes observed user behavior and evolving understanding of the workflow.
• Document prototype assumptions design decisions evaluation results known limitations and recommended next steps in a way that is accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Technology Handoff

• Support the transition of prototypes toward scalable solutions by preparing clear handoff materials for the Technology team including architecture notes dependencies risks security considerations and production-readiness gaps.
• Apply best AI development principles throughout prototyping including privacy security transparency human oversight quality evaluation and appropriate use of AI outputs.

Expected Technical Stack

• Programming: Fluency in Python understanding ; familiarity with SQL and basic software engineering practices.
• AI/ML frameworks: familiarity with PyTorch TensorFlow scikit-learn NumPy pandas MLflow or other experiment tracking and model lifecycle management frameworks experience with tooling for developing reproducible data and ML pipelines and related data science libraries.
