- Design retrieval, memory, and evaluation systems that improve reliability and operational performance over time
- Own projects end-to-end: product architecture, backend systems, frontend experiences, AI integration, and production deployment.
- Success is measured by whether the systems you build become core infrastructure for how the company operates, reducing operational overhead, improving member experience, and allowing teams to scale far beyond traditional insurance companies.
