The Opportunity

We are seeking a hands‑on Senior Data Engineer - AI to design, build, and operate the data foundations that power TP's analytics, automation, and AI solutions across client and internal operations. The role covers the full data lifecycle - acquisition, integration, storage, processing, quality, security, and production observability - transforming high‑volume structured and unstructured data into trusted, reusable, model‑ready assets. This professional will work with Operations, clients, Product, Consulting, Data Science, Architecture, and Software Engineering teams across LATAM and global functions. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise, business understanding, client‑facing communication, and technical leadership to deliver scalable, resilient, secure, and cost‑efficient data products in multi‑client cloud environments.

The Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and operate scalable batch and real‑time data pipelines for high-volume analytics, automation, machine learning, and Generative AI workloads.
• Acquire and integrate structured and unstructured data from CRM, contact‑center, WFM, QA, HR and recruitment systems, APIs, files, event streams, transcripts, and client platforms.
• Design cloud data lake, lakehouse, warehouse, data mart, and semantic-layer architectures aligned with operational, analytical, and client requirements.
• Develop reusable data products and standardized ingestion, transformation, and validation components that can be applied across countries, clients, and solutions.
• Prepare trusted, model-ready datasets for ML, NLP, speech, forecasting, predictive analytics, and Generative AI use cases.
• Build and maintain feature pipelines, feature stores, embeddings, vector indexes, retrieval workflows, and evaluation datasets for RAG and other AI solutions.
• Partner with Data Scientists and AI Engineers to improve data relevance, freshness, traceability, and reproducibility throughout the model lifecycle.
• Establish data‑quality rules, lineage, metadata, observability, data contracts, and measurable service levels across the data lifecycle.
• Enforce PII protection, client-data isolation, retention policies, encryption, role‑based access controls, and applicable regulatory and contractual requirements.
• Support auditability and governance standards in multi‑client environments, ensuring data is used only for authorized business and AI purposes.
• Ensure production reliability and 24x7 operational readiness through monitoring, alerting, incident response, root‑cause analysis, and preventive improvements.
• Optimize pipeline performance, storage, compute utilization, and cloud cost while preserving scalability, resilience, and service commitments.
• Define backup, recovery, continuity, and disaster‑recovery practices for critical data services.
• Translate operational and client needs into solution designs, technical estimates, delivery plans, proofs of concept, and production‑ready implementations.
• Collaborate with Operations, Product, Consulting, Architecture, Security, Data Science, BI, and Software Engineering teams to deliver end‑to‑end solutions.
• Produce clear technical documentation, participate in architecture reviews, lead code reviews, and promote engineering standards and reusable patterns.
• Mentor engineers, provide technical guidance, and contribute to the continuous improvement of TP data and AI capabilities.
