Job description

  • Design & implement end-to-end data architectures, from ingestion and transformation to serving layer, for analytics, AI, and automation use cases.
  • Build and optimize production-grade data models that support real-time and batch analytics, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and performance.
  • Engineer data pipelines for Conversational AI and Automation, ensuring high-quality, structured data flows from events, chat logs, user interactions, and feedback loops.

  • Hands-on experience with NLP, large language models (LLMs), vector databases, and the modern AI stack (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Langfuse).

  • Familiarity with MLOps practices, model monitoring, and prompt engineering.

  • Full-stack development experience (e.g., React, FastAPI) for building internal AI tools.
