GEICO is seeking a Senior 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
Job Responsibility:
Own 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
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, or related field
10+ years of professional software development experience using at least two general-purpose languages (e.g., Java, C++, Python, C#)
10+ years architecting, designing, and building multi-component ML platforms leveraging open-source/cloud-agnostic components: Search/vector: ElasticSearch, Qdrant
Data warehouse/lakehouse: Snowflake
familiarity with Parquet/Delta/Iceberg
Streaming: Kafka
plus Flink/Spark Streaming experience
Datastores: PostgreSQL
NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra)
Distributed compute: Spark, Ray
Workflow orchestration: Airflow, Temporal
6+ years managing end-to-end SDLC for ML systems: version control, CI/CD, Kubernetes, testing (unit/integration/data/ML eval), monitoring/alerting, production support
6+ years working with cloud providers (Azure and/or AWS) in production ML contexts
Nice to have:
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
Experience with high-throughput, low-latency inference and real-time feature pipelines
