• Design, deploy, and maintain the business’s data and AI platforms.
• Own architectural processes and decisions for data models, including schemas, vector stores, and knowledge bases supporting AI and LLM use cases.
• Design and operate feature, embedding, and evaluation pipelines for machine learning model training, fine-tuning, and continuous evaluation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to convert data into understandable information and AI-ready inputs for other professionals.
• Ensure data and AI systems have relevant security, privacy, and data-governance controls, especially for data flowing into and out of third-party LLM providers.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional database development experience, preferably as a Data Engineer in a fast-paced, complex business setting.
• Expert knowledge of SQL, focusing on query writing and optimization.
• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining reliable, scalable ETL/ELT using Snowflake, dbt, and AWS architecture.
• Proficiency in Python and modern AI/ML tooling, with experience integrating LLM APIs (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI).
• Expert problem-solving ability and maker's mentality, with extensive experience designing and architecting new features and solutions from scratch, especially blending traditional data systems with AI-powered components.
• Eagerness to discover innovative ways to work faster and more efficiently, leveraging AI coding assistants and agents, while balancing tech debt, cost, security, and complexity.
• Proactive written and spoken communication, with excellent ability to collaborate effectively in-person and remotely.
• Courage to raise concerns and ask questions.
• Ability to stay current with new AI/ML frameworks and tools to speed up development, while identifying potential vulnerabilities and edge cases (e.g., prompt injection, data leakage).
