Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced and hands-on AI Data Engineer to design, develop, and operationalize secure, scalable, production-grade Generative AI, agentic AI, and cloud data solutions. The successful candidate will combine strong AI engineering capabilities—including large language models, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, vector search, AI agents, and LLMOps—with a solid foundation in Python, advanced SQL, databases, and cloud-based data engineering. The candidate should also be able to work in establishing data pipelines and engineering—from data ingestion and preparation, to data modeling, deployment and monitoring.

• Design, build, and operate secure, scalable, production-grade Generative AI, agentic AI, and cloud data solutions for analytics and reporting
• Develop LLM applications for analytics and reporting using prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, vector search, structured outputs, tool calling, function calling, fine-tuning, and model routing
• Build AI agents that retrieve enterprise data, use approved tools and APIs, coordinate multi-step workflows, and operate within defined guardrails and human oversight
• Integrate foundation models, AI agents, enterprise data platforms, APIs, workflow orchestration tools, document repositories, and reporting applications
• Develop AI capabilities such as natural-language querying, conversational analytics, automated summaries, intelligent recommendations, anomaly detection, narrative reporting, and workflow automation
• Design, develop, and maintain robust ETL/ELT pipelines for structured and unstructured data across data lakes, warehouses, and lake houses
• Design serverless, event-driven, and cost-efficient cloud architectures using a primary cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Develop data models, data-quality frameworks, validation rules, metadata, lineage, and reusable data products
• Build production-grade services using Python, SQL, APIs, CI/CD, automated testing, infrastructure as code, and observability practices
• Apply responsible AI practices, including data privacy, security, access control, content safety, prompt-injection protection, and prevention of sensitive-data leakage
• Deploy AI solutions using services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, OpenAI APIs, vector databases, and enterprise search platforms
• Develop and orchestrate data workflows using AWS Glue, Glue Workflows, AWS Lambda, Step Functions, Amazon S3, Athena, Redshift, and Amazon RDS
• Partner with data, technology, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into data models, AI features, visualizations, and actionable insights

Mandatory Technical Skills

• AI and Generative AI
  • Strong understanding of Generative AI and large language model concepts
  • Hands-on experience developing LLM-based applications
  • Practical experience with:
    • Prompt engineering and prompt templates
    • Retrieval-augmented generation
    • Embeddings and semantic search
    • Vector search and vector databases
    • Document ingestion and chunking
    • Structured LLM outputs
    • Context and conversation management
    • AI-agent development
    • Multi-step agentic workflows
    • Model evaluation and response validation
• Programming
  • Strong hands-on programming experience in Python
  • Good understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, exception handling, logging, API integration, and asynchronous processing
  • Experience with relevant Python libraries and frameworks, such as:
    • Pandas
    • PySpark
    • Boto3
    • FastAPI or Flask
    • LangChain
    • LangGraph
    • LlamaIndex
• SQL, Databases and Data Engineering
  • Strong proficiency in writing and optimizing advanced SQL queries
  • Hands-on experience with complex joins and subqueries, Window and analytical functions and stored procedures

Preferred Technical Skills

• Exposure to business intelligence and reporting tools, particularly Microsoft Power BI or Tableau
