## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or related technical field
 * 6+ years in backend, data, or ML infrastructure engineering, shipping production systems at scale

 * Hands-on with LLM orchestration, agent frameworks, or model serving in production
 * Rigor around data security and access control, ideally with regulated or sensitive data
 * Based in the NYC metro area and able to work on-site

## Description

* Design, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines that ingest, clean, and structure data into a usable form
 * Build the model and agent orchestration layer, and the APIs that applications consume
 * Turn patterns hand-rolled in the field into reusable platform primitives so future work delivers more without proportional headcount
 * Establish data quality frameworks and automated testing to ensure data integrity and reliability
 * Own reliability, data integrity, and access control
 * Implement data governance practices and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
