The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Anthem is hiring a Machine Learning Engineer in Madison, WI.

• Role description

  We don't need a Machine Learning Engineer who knows everything about Coaching; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $78,000 - $109,000 and temporary hours come standard, but the technology reins are the real prize.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Set the Regression Analysis coding standards the rest of Anthem engineering follows
  • Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging A/B Testing and Prompt Engineering
  • Pull Anthem's Apache Spark stack out of the WI region before the migration deadline
  • Ship Excel fixes to Anthem customers in Madison, WI the same day they report them
  • Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Excel
  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Anthem users feel every click

  What You'll Bring

  • A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
  • Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
  • 5+ years of Vector Databases reps, not just Vector Databases exposure
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a mid-level capacity
  • Comfort being accountable for an oddball-friendly outcome in a temporary role
  • A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
  • At least 5 years building expertise within the technology space

  The entrepreneurial minds at Anthem have made Madison, WI an unlikely hub for serious Negotiation and Prompt Engineering work. Feedback flows in every direction, so good ideas reach the table no matter who voices them.

  We back $78,000 - $109,000 with a growth ladder, a mentor invested in your dbt, and benefits that travel with you across Madison, WI.
