Who is ProNavigator?

ProNavigator helps insurance organizations centralize, manage, and deliver on-demand information to sales, service, underwriting, and brokers/agents. In 2019, we pioneered the first knowledge management platform for insurance. Now, more than 10,000 insurance professionals use ProNavigator to get quick, accurate answers. We continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible by integrating large language models that are accurate and secure.

At ProNavigator, we’re tackling and solving unique challenges. Every day is an exciting new opportunity to collaborate with colleagues as we build a leading-edge platform and support our clients to do their best work. Our culture is built on the values of hard work, creativity, collaboration and high performance.

What’s this role all about?

Join our Engineering team as they build the next generation of knowledge management products, powered by large language models. In this role you will play a leadership role in the design and development of AI software solutions and features, with a focus on researching, evaluating, training and tuning models to meet our product needs. This role is for you if you are a creative and scrappy problem solver who is looking to translate your technical depth in ML to provide technical direction and execution on language-based AI systems.

Our current technology stack includes JavaScript, React, Python, FastAPI, Docker, AWS and MySQL, however we bring technologies in and out based on newly released tools, changes to requirements or solutions that more elegantly meet our objectives.

Your accountabilities in this role will include:

• Delivering AI/ML models from initial planning to data sourcing and preparation, building and training models, and deploying models to production in our cloud environment, ideally using and deploying open source models

• Creating AI-based prototypes to evaluate model and design options, working with internal stakeholders to analyze quality and relevance of results

• Training and tuning models to optimize outcomes of algorithms

• Integrating models to production, working with Engineering team members as needed to integrate models into product architecture

• Working with internal stakeholders to understand product needs of AI and to scope potential solutions

• Conducting research into relevant AI models and technologies and staying well-connected to trends and developments in this rapidly evolving space
