In this role, you will develop robust data pipelines and analytics systems that enable AI agents, autonomous workflows, and data-driven insights-directly impacting how software is built at scale.

Responsibilities:

As a hands-on engineer, you will:

Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and ELT workflows to support AI and analytics use cases

Develop clean, reliable, and well-modeled datasets for both batch and real-time consumption

Partner closely with AI/ML engineers and platform teams to deliver high-quality data for model training, inference, and agent workflows

Implement data quality, observability, and monitoring systems to ensure trust and reliability across pipelines

Build and optimize data models in modern cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks)

Use tools like DBT to create modular, testable, and well-documented transformation layers

Orchestrate and manage workflows using tools such as Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster

Optimize pipelines and queries for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency

Contribute to the design of the data architecture supporting AI agents and autonomous workflows

Enable self-service analytics and reporting for engineering and product teams, Collaborate across teams to define and implement best practices for data engineering in an AI-first platform

Experience building AI/LLM-powered data pipelines, including RAG systems and integrations with APIs such as OpenAI or Anthropic

Experience with real-time/streaming data systems such as Apache Kafka, Flink, or Spark Structured Streaming

Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster
