GEICO is seeking a Staff Machine Learning Engineer to help shape how Generative AI enhances customer and associate experiences across the enterprise. This is a hands-on technical role who will be leading the strategy, architecture, and delivery of ML systems for the Claims organization—designing predictive models, robust data / feature pipelines, and production-grade MLOps to drive measurable business outcomes.

You will work alongside engineering teams, data scientists, and product leaders to design, build, and integrate AI-powered capabilities that automate workflows, improve decision-making, and elevate user experience. You will contribute to a culture of learning, curiosity, and innovation while growing your expertise in cutting-edge AI technologies

About the role

  • Staff+ individual contributor role focused on end-to-end ML : data and feature engineering, modeling, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
  • Partner with Claims Operations, Product, and Engineering to deliver ML capabilities such as severity / triage predictions, claim outcome forecasting, and automation accelerators.
  • GenAI (e.g., LLMs and agentic workflows) may be leveraged where it augments ML systems; strong ML depth is primary.

What you’ll do

  • Work on the ML platform architecture : data / feature pipelines, experiment tracking, model registries, serving layers, offline / online evaluation, and observability.
  • Define standards for reliability, performance, cost efficiency, security, governance, and model risk management across ML services.
  • Lead design and implementation of models across classical ML and deep learning (e.g., gradient boosted trees, sequence models, Transformers for tabular / time-series / NLP where relevant).
  • Translate business goals into measurable ML objectives and experiment plans; ensure robust offline metrics and real-world impact.
  • Build scalable training and inference pipelines; establish CI / CD for ML, automated evaluations, canary releases, and rollback strategies.
  • Implement monitoring for data quality, drift, fairness, latency, reliability, and cost; lead incident response and postmortems.
  • Partner with Claims, Product, Data Science, Platform / SRE, Security, and Legal / Compliance to gather requirements, define scope, and prioritize backlogs.
  • Maintain pragmatic technical roadmaps balancing business outcomes, release timelines, and engineering excellence.
  • Own build-vs-buy decisions and tooling / service selection (speed to market, extensibility, TCO); guide platform evolution with clear architectural principles.
  • Lead experienced engineers through complex platform implementations; drive system-wide architectural improvements and reliability practices.
  • Mentor engineers and junior tech leads; codify best practices; contribute to internal documentation and promote enterprise-wide ML standards.
  • Where appropriate, collaborate on retrieval-augmented workflows, prompt / context management, and LLM evaluation and safety guardrails to complement ML systems.
  • Minimum qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, or related field.
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience using at least two general-purpose languages (e.g., Java, C++, Python, C#).
  • 5+ years architecting, designing, and building multi-component ML platforms leveraging open-source / cloud-agnostic components : Search / vector : ElasticSearch, Qdrant (as applicable to ML features and retrieval)Data warehouse / lakehouse : Snowflake; familiarity with Parquet / Delta / IcebergStreaming : Kafka; plus Flink / Spark Streaming experienceDatastores : PostgreSQL; NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra)Distributed compute : Spark, RayWorkflow orchestration : Airflow, Temporal
  • 5+ years managing end-to-end SDLC for ML systems : version control, CI / CD, Kubernetes, testing (unit / integration / data / ML eval), monitoring / alerting, production support.
  • 5+ years working with cloud providers (Azure and / or AWS) in production ML contexts.
  • Preferred qualifications (GenAI as a plus)

  • Experience leveraging or fine-tuning LLMs (e.g., GPT, Llama, Mistral, Claude) to augment ML workflows, retrieval, or claims-facing tooling.
  • Hands-on with MLOps tooling : MLflow / Kubeflow, model registries, feature stores (e.g., Feast), experiment tracking, A / B testing and online evaluation frameworks.
  • Observability : Prometheus / Grafana, OpenTelemetry; SLO-driven operations and incident management.
  • Model safety, fairness, explainability (e.g., SHAP / LIME), and regulatory compliance; familiarity with model risk management practices.
  • Insurance / financial services domain experience : claims automation, fraud detection, risk modeling, subrogation, severity / triage, and regulatory stewardship.
  • Experience with high-throughput, low-latency inference and real-time feature pipelines.
