What this job asks for AI summary
A senior individual contributor role focused on defining and advancing a multi-year AI strategy for a large healthcare organization. Day-to-day work spans building hands-on prototypes, shaping reference architectures, advising on LLM and generative AI approaches, and crafting executive-level narratives that connect technical roadmaps to measurable business outcomes. The role suits a deeply technical strategist with a decade or more of AI/ML experience who influences direction through expertise rather than managing teams or products.

Why we read it this way (8)
This role is a genuine hybrid between enterprise AI strategy/architecture and hands-on data science/ML. 15-2051 (Data Scientists) was chosen as the primary code because the JD gates on deep ML lifecycle, GenAI, LLM, and prototyping expertise; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the runner-up given the heavy strategy, roadmap, and advisory dimensions that don't map cleanly to any single technical SOC.
The title 'Fellow' and the explicit 'senior, individual contributor' framing were used to set the level advertised in the title to Senior. Despite 10+ years required and org-wide influence, the role explicitly lacks direct team or product ownership, which keeps it at Senior rather than Staff or Principal on the seniority ladder — though it sits at the very top of the Senior band.
Cloud platform experience (Azure, AWS, GCP) appears in the Technical Expertise section under 'deep understanding of' — treated as a hard gate with Azure as the primary name and AWS/GCP as alternatives.
Hands-on tooling items (PyTorch/TensorFlow, orchestration frameworks, vector databases, Jupyter/Streamlit/Gradio, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, low-code platforms) appear under 'Hands-on familiarity with' in the Technical Expertise section — a softer framing than 'deep understanding of', so these are marked as preferred.
No formal degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
The role is posted by Humana (headquartered in Louisville, KY) but appears to be remote-eligible based on the absence of any location restriction and Humana's standard remote-work posture for senior IC roles; the CBSA reflects Humana's HQ city as the most likely anchor.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Low-code/no-code AI platforms.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
