About the Role

ProviderTrust is seeking a senior, hands-on engineer to design and build the company's data warehouse and data lake foundation. This role will lead the implementation of large language model (LLM) capabilities across internal tooling and customer-facing products, influencing architecture, platform, and tooling standards.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and own the enterprise data warehouse and data lake (or lakehouse) architecture from the ground up, including ingestion, storage, transformation, and serving layers.
  • Evaluate and select the core platform and supporting orchestration/ETL tooling based on cost, scale, and team skillset.
  • Build reliable, well-documented pipelines that consolidate data from operational systems, third-party sources, and application logs into a single source of truth.
  • Establish data modeling standards (e.g., dimensional modeling, medallion architecture) and enforce data quality, lineage, and observability practices.
  • Implement role-based access controls, encryption, and data retention policies appropriate for sensitive and regulated data.
  • Architect and implement internal LLM tooling (e.g., knowledge-base search, analyst copilots, internal chat assistants) that draws on the data warehouse/lake as a grounded knowledge source.
  • Design and ship customer-facing (external) LLM-powered features, ensuring reliability, latency, and cost are production-ready at scale.
  • Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, including chunking, embedding, and vector search, to ground model outputs in company and customer data.
  • Stand up evaluation, monitoring, and guardrail frameworks to catch hallucination, data leakage, and quality regressions before and after release.
  • Own vendor and model strategy across proprietary APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock) and, where appropriate, self-hosted or fine-tuned open-source models.
  • Partner with security and compliance stakeholders to ensure LLM features meet data privacy, auditability, and regulatory requirements (e.g., PII handling).
  • Define and document architecture decisions, data governance policies, and AI usage guidelines for the broader engineering organization.
  • Act as the internal subject-matter expert on data platform and applied AI/LLM strategy, advising product, engineering, and leadership on feasibility and roadmap.
  • Mentor engineers as the team grows, and help recruit and evaluate future data/AI hires.
  • Manage costs and performance across cloud data and AI infrastructure through capacity planning and optimization.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in data engineering, with at least 3 years designing or owning a production data warehouse or data lake architecture from the ground up.
  • Hands-on experience building and shipping LLM-powered features in production (RAG, agentic workflows, embeddings/vector search, or fine-tuning).
  • Strong SQL and Python skills; experience with modern ELT/orchestration tools (dbt, Airflow, Spark, or equivalent).
  • Deep familiarity with at least one major cloud data platform (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, or Azure Synapse).
  • Practical experience with major LLM provider APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) and LLM application frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar).
  • Solid understanding of data security, access control, and privacy practices for sensitive or regulated data.
  • Track record of making and documenting architecture decisions independently, with minimal oversight.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience defining systems of record across CRM, ERP, and support platforms, and integrating systems such as Salesforce, NetSuite, HubSpot, Zendesk, or Jira.
  • Strong data modeling skills (dimensional modeling, medallion or equivalent) and experience standing up a data catalog and data quality testing.
  • Experience in a regulated industry (healthcare, financial services, or compliance-driven environments).
  • Experience fine-tuning or self-hosting open-source LLMs (e.g., Llama, Mistral) for cost or data-residency reasons.
  • Prior experience building a data or AI function from scratch at a startup or scale-up.
  • Familiarity with MLOps/LLMOps tooling for evaluation, monitoring, and guardrails (e.g., MLflow, Weights & Biases, Ragas, or custom eval harnesses).
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code and containerized deployments (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Prior people-leadership or technical-lead experience, if the role is expected to grow a team.
