## Description

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will drive the end-to-end development of our core data infrastructure through AI-native engineering. Championing our AI DevEx approach, you will orchestrate AI agents to rapidly build, scale, and refactor high-performance systems.
We are looking for a technical expert who takes hands-on ownership of distributed, real-time architectures. Leveraging your deep data engineering expertise, you will construct the robust pipelines that power our next-generation data products.
Tasks

 * Developing and driving the architecture of complex data systems that prioritize scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
 * Designing and optimizing production-grade data pipelines, with a primary focus on high-throughput, real-time streaming.
 * Driving Spec-Driven Development (SDD) using OpenSpec or GitHub Spec Kit to create strict engineering contracts that ensure predictable, high-quality AI code generation.
 * Orchestrating agentic AI workflows with Claude Code and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to rapidly build, refactor, and scale our data infrastructure.
 * Taking full accountability and ownership of system components, working in a self-sufficient manner to solve deep technical challenges.
 * Implementing rigorous testing and monitoring frameworks to ensure the integrity of mission-critical data.
 * Mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of technical excellence through open feedback and architectural reviews
