AI Workflow Engineer

At BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, we’re building the foundation for an AI‑enabled future—one where our teams work smarter, our operations move faster, and our 3.4 million members experience a more responsive, reliable, and affordable healthcare journey.

We’re hiring an AI Workflow Engineer to help drive this work. In this role, you’ll be embedded directly with our Process Improvement team supporting our Treasury and Internal Audit divisions to help them imagine what’s possible beyond today’s tooling. You'll partner directly with business leaders from concept through implementation, identifying opportunities, advising on AI adoption, developing solutions, and supporting training, governance, and long-term ownership.

To do that, you’ll need:

• Experience with Python
• Understanding of APIs, orchestration tools, and integration patterns
• Exposure to generative AI, LLM frameworks and/or AI-driven automation in a corporate setting

Our ideal candidates will also bring experience in healthcare (other payers, hospital systems, health tech companies) and/or experience working with finance teams.

If you’re inspired by our mission, we’d love to hear from you!

Notes:

• While this is a fully remote role, a final onsite interview at our Chattanooga, TN, headquarters will be required.
