This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, applied AI, and platform innovation, with the opportunity to shape how AI is embedded into the core of our business and customer experience. You'll be the technical lead defining how we build AI agents, with direct access to the teams interfacing with Snowflake with room to influence architecture decisions, and the chance to work across the full AI stack from data modeling and semantic layers to agent orchestration and production operations. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is, at their core, a passionate data engineer with deep curiosity about AI and significant experience building strong data foundations before expanding into applied AI and agent based systems. We are looking for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, experimenting with emerging technologies, and turning ambiguous ideas into scalable, production ready solutions. Working hands-on with Snowflake Cortex as our primary AI platform, you will help push the boundaries of what modern AI systems can do in an enterprise environment while helping define the future of intelligent experiences at Material Bank. What You'll Do * Design, build, and operate production grade AI agents, owning the full lifecycle from prototyping and evaluation through deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. * Lead the development of scalable AI and data services, including MCP servers and REST APIs that expose intelligent capabilities to products, applications, and internal teams. * Serve as our internal expert on Snowflake Cortex, going deep on Cortex Agents, Cortex Analyst, and Cortex Search while partnering directly with Snowflake's account and product teams to influence capabilities and shape how we apply the platform. * Apply modern agent architecture patterns including RAG, tool use, orchestration, memory, and evaluation frameworks to build reliable, accurate, and cost efficient AI systems. * Partner closely with Analytics & Insights team to design and maintain semantic and metrics layers that create consistent business definitions across AI, analytics, and reporting use cases. * Build and maintain scalable data pipelines, transformations, and models that power AI workloads using Snowflake, dbt, and Airflow. * Collaborate across data, product, analytics, and engineering teams to translate ambiguous business problems into well designed AI and data solutions. * Establish engineering standards and best practices for agentic systems, including observability, evaluation, prompt management, governance, and operational guardrails. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - CSS is DOOMed](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1838-wearedevelopers-live-css-is-doomed) - [Enjoying SQL data pipelines with dbt](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/823-enjoying-sql-data-pipelines-with-dbt) - [Hacking AI at the Edge of the Indian Ocean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100177-hacking-ai-at-the-edge-of-the-indian-ocean) - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) ## Related Articles - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production)
