Job description

Lead the architectural vision for a next-generation data layer designed specifically for Agentic AI. You will define high-performance schemas, orchestrate complex hybrid-database environments (Snowflake/Kinetica/NoSQL), and serve as the primary technical liaison for our customers. This is a high-visibility role blending deep technical governance with strategic relationship development., * System Architecture: Design the end-to-end blueprint for a modern data layer that seamlessly integrates structured, unstructured, and relational (Graph) data for AI agents.

  • Schema & Ontology Design: Define multi-tenant schemas and Knowledge Graph ontologies that allow LLM agents to perform complex reasoning and cross-domain data retrieval.
  • Database Administration & Governance: Oversee the health, security, and performance optimization of our data clusters (Snowflake/Kinetica), ensuring 99.9% availability for mission-critical AI workflows.
  • Strategic Client Fronting: Act as the ā€œFace of Engineeringā€ for the customer. Lead discovery workshops, manage technical expectations, and align the architectural roadmap with their business objectives.
  • Performance Engineering: Establish benchmarks for data latency and retrieval accuracy, ensuring the data layer can keep pace with the real-time demands of agentic executionrability standards

Basic Qualifications:

  • System Architecture: Design the end-to-end blueprint for a modern data layer that seamlessly integrates structured, unstructured, and relational (Graph) data for AI agents.

  • Knowledge Graph Mastery: Ability to design Property Graphs or RDF schemas that map enterprise entities into a machine-readable ā€œWorld Model.ā€
  • Advanced ETL/ELT Strategy: Deep knowledge of data orchestration patterns (Change Data Capture, Streaming, and Batch) to ensure data freshness.
  • Database Internals: Strong DBA skills-partitioning strategies, indexing, vacuuming, and resource scaling in cloud-native environments.

Good to Have (The ā€œAgenticā€ Edge):

  • Semantic Layer Design: Experience with tools like Cube or dbt Semantic Layer to provide a consistent ā€œLanguageā€ for AI agents to query.
  • Security & Privacy: Knowledge of RBAC and Row-Level Security (RLS) within an AI context-ensuring agents only ā€œseeā€ what they are authorized to access.
  • Tooling for Agents: Experience designing API-first data layers that agents can use as ā€œToolsā€ (e.g., function calling).
