This role is primarily focused on Data Engineering, with opportunities to explore and apply Generative AI and Machine Learning technologies responsibly at scale.
What you will do
- Design, build, and optimize batch and streaming pipelines on Databricks (Spark, Delta Lake) for high-volume, mission-critical data.
- Implement robust data modeling, transformation, quality, and metadata practices (expectations, profiling, lineage).
- Ensure reliability and performance of data services with CI/CD, orchestration (e.g., Databricks Workflows/Airflow), and infrastructure-as-code.
- Build observability (logging, metrics, dashboards, alerting) for data and downstream AI services.
- Partner with security, platform, and product teams to strengthen data governance, access control, and cost optimization.
- Collaborate with engineers to deliver LLM- and AI-backed features using OpenAI Agent Builder / Agent Bricks (or similar) and OpenAI/Azure OpenAI APIs.
- Contribute to retrieval pipelines, vector store integrations, and model evaluation processes.
- Participate in prompt design, safety/guardrails, and performance evaluation for applied AI solutions.
What you will have
- 5 years in Data Engineering (or adjacent ML/Data roles) building production-grade data pipelines and platforms.
- Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and PySpark; deep experience with Databricks and cloud data stacks (AWS or equivalent).
- Expertise in Delta Lake/S3-class storage, version control (Git), and CI/CD for data services.
- Experience building monitoring and dashboards for data or AI services (Grafana or similar).
- Exposure to AI/ML applications in production environments, including LLM or retrieval-augmented workflows.
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with OpenAI Agent Builder / AgentBricks or comparable AI agent frameworks.
- Familiarity with MLflow for experiment and model lifecycle management.
- Working knowledge of LangChain, LlamaIndex, and vector databases.
- Understanding of LLM observability, evaluations, and feedback loops.
- Familiarity with security and governance domains (PKI, identity, data privacy).
How you work
- You focus on reliability, scalability, and measurable outcomes.
- You collaborate across product, platform, and security teams to deliver robust, production-ready data and AI solutions.
- You stay curious about new data and AI technologies and apply them thoughtfully to improve business outcomes.
