Senior AI/ML Engineer

"Our Mission: build AI-driven solutions for smarter risk detection in the B2B Insurance world"

Continuity is a team of 42 talented professionals, with more than 60% dedicated to R&D, developing specialized AI for underwriting risk analysis.

As the preferred partner of insurers in the commercial P&C space, we enable them to make smarter, faster underwriting decisions by leveraging the power of data and AI.

Leading insurers rely on our SaaS platform to streamline underwriting, enabling fast and accurate risk assessments, whether for new business or to accurately identify and update policies that have evolved over time.

We focus on improving risk assessment, monitoring portfolios and accelerating the underwriting process. By transforming complex data into a clear and intuitive interface, Continuity enables underwriters to focus on improving customer relationships and service quality, which ultimately translates into increased profitability and efficiency.

Joining us means being part of a dedicated, growing team with high ambitions. We work closely with insurers to drive technological innovation in the sector, with the aim of making a significant impact on the way insurers operate and the experience of policyholders.

Continuity announced its 10m€ Series A funding in May 2024, which will foster its international development plans.

What do we promote?

Our strong commitments include building a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. Our cultural drivers [empathy, impact, innovation, and collaboration] guide us as we work together to create meaningful change. This is why we focus on the skills and potential you bring, rather than just your academic background or past experiences.

We believe that talent is shaped by diverse life journeys, and we’re excited to see how yours can contribute to our team while uncovering new perspectives and opportunities for growth together!

Role overview:

At Continuity, we’re building an innovative SaaS platform tailored to the insurance industry. We already have a robust platform delivering significant value to our clients, based on a combination of expert systems and advanced data analysis. Our mission is to evolve this platform into an intelligent co-pilot for underwriters.

We’re entering a new phase: pragmatically integrating cutting-edge AI to enhance our existing capabilities. This involves blending our proven ML models with emerging technologies like RAG architectures and LLM agents where they create tangible impact.

We’re hiring a Senior AI/ML Engineer to design, develop, and deploy these next-generation systems. As a senior individual contributor, you’ll bring a fresh perspective and deep expertise in building and shipping production-grade AI systems. You will play a key role in evolving our scalable infrastructure and evaluating how to best leverage new AI paradigms in a dynamic, fast-moving environment.

🌐This role offers hybrid flexibility (the team is Paris-based)

Key responsibilities:

Hybrid AI Systems Design

• Architect AI systems that combine ML algorithms, LLMs, and orchestrated agents.
• Prototype high-impact business use cases: underwriting assistants, risk extraction, document processing.
• Design and structure AI agent teams for specific operational goals.
• Identify and recommend the best-fit open-source or proprietary tools.

Product & Business Iteration

• Collaborate closely with the Chief Science Officer, applied ML engineers, data engineers, PMs & Ops to transition prototypes to production.
• Translate business value into concrete engineering actions, ensuring relevance, reliability, and robustness.
• Lead initiatives around data collection and evaluation pipelines (e.g. annotations, synthetic data).
• Contribute to internal documentation and foster adoption of AI solutions across the company.

Production & Scalability

• Actively contribute to architectural decisions that ensure compliance, reliability, and scalability.
• Co-develop a modular agentic toolbox to support future applications.
• Integrate AI systems into our tech stack (APIs, internal tools, libraries such as dspy).
• Implement observability: logging, monitoring, alerts, and dashboards to track performance.

Compliance & Governance

• Ensure the security, traceability, and robustness of AI systems.
• Contribute to AI governance initiatives (metadata, usage limits, internal audits).
• Provide input on compliance and ethical AI usage.

Technical Leadership

• Advocate for "AI-first" approaches using agentic architectures.
• Promote adoption of advanced engineering practices (smart tech choices, CI/CD workflows).
• Be a central player in driving innovation, focused on robust, scalable, and reliable systems.

Innovation & Tech Watch

• Stay actively informed about emerging technologies, frameworks, and methodologies in AI and ML.
• Test, adapt, and deploy innovative ideas aligned with business priorities, research, and product evolution.

What you bring:

Experience

• 5–8 years of experience as an ML Engineer, AI Engineer, or similar role.
• Motivated by real-world impact, not just experimentation or research.
• Solid academic background, but above all, a pragmatic engineering mindset.
• Comfortable in a structured yet fast-moving environment where tech drives business impact.
• Curious, rigorous, and capable of explaining complex ideas to non-technical teams

Tech Stack & Core Skills

We don’t expect you to tick every box, here’s what’s essential and what you’ll get to explore with us.

Must-haves:

• Strong production-level Python skills (FastAPI, asyncio, testing, clean code structure).
• Experience with PyTorch / Hugging Face Transformers.
• Proven track record deploying ML models to production (fine-tuning, optimization, scaling).
• Solid understanding of RAG, embeddings, and LLM APIs.
• Strong MLOps culture (CI/CD, observability, Docker, AWS).

Nice-to-haves / what you’ll explore here:

• Experience with modern AI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Dspy, vLLM, CrewAI, etc.).
• Interest in multi-agent architectures or orchestration frameworks.
• Understanding of AI governance (auditability, safety, ethics).

We know many of these tools are cutting-edge, your curiosity and willingness to build with us matter as much as your experience.

Soft skills & mindset

• Strong autonomy, delivery-driven, curious, and team-oriented.
  Technical leadership and the ability to guide while remaining a high-impact individual contributor.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly.
• Passion for applied research and bringing AI solutions into production.
• Problem-solver with strategic thinking and the ability to optimize processes for real business impact.
• Enthusiastic about fast-paced, scaling environments.

Why this role is unique:

This role is at the heart of our tech transformation. You won't be starting from scratch; you'll be building upon a solid foundation to accelerate our evolution. By pragmatically integrating generative AI and agentic systems, you'll help insurers make faster, better decisions and strengthen our competitive edge. Your expertise will directly turn promising AI concepts into tangible, measurable, and differentiating value for both our clients and our internal teams.
