About the Role
Citylitics is seeking a skilled and enthusiastic Data Engineer to join their growing team. This role involves owning the design, build, and operation of production data pipelines that use AI to power customer-facing solutions, working with technologies like GCP services (Cloud Composer, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Vertex AI). The company values collaboration, sound engineering judgment, and adaptability in a fast-changing AI landscape.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development of highly performant, reliable, and maintainable pipelines using Airflow and BigQuery, from architecture and design through testing, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance.
- Make design decisions independently and own the systems you build.
- Partner with data analysts and stakeholders to define requirements and design scalable data models and applications.
- Own data products end to end, from pipelines and models through backend APIs to customer-facing dashboards and apps.
- Design and operate pipelines that use LLMs and agents to turn raw documents into structured, useful data.
- Own evaluation datasets, LLM-as-judge and rule-based QA checks, and benchmarks.
- Drive the ongoing improvement of data infrastructure and processes, including evaluating and introducing new technologies and best practices.
- Shape how AI coding agents are used further in development, debugging, review, and documentation.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Python and SQL.
- Proven experience (3+ years) working as a Data Engineer or Software Engineer in a cloud environment.
- Experience building production data pipelines with an orchestrator like Airflow/Cloud Composer and a data warehouse like BigQuery.
- Solid grasp of data engineering fundamentals: data modeling, ETL/ELT, and building idempotent, reliable pipelines.
- Experience shipping LLM-powered features or pipelines to production with LLM APIs (e.g., Gemini, Claude, OpenAI): prompting, structured outputs, and tool/function calling.
- Working knowledge of agent patterns (tool use, multi-step workflows, retrieval/RAG, MCP) and their production tradeoffs, such as cost, latency, and failure modes.
- Daily, fluent use of AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) in your workflow, with the judgment to review and verify what they produce.
- Experience with Git, CI/CD, and cloud platforms (GCP preferred).
- Experience building data apps or dashboards end to end, including a backend API and a frontend (e.g., React, TypeScript), is a plus.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently on ambiguous problems.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
