Job description

Role Overview

We are seeking a versatile Data Engineer with 2+ years of experience to build and scale the data infrastructure powering our organization. You will develop robust pipelines and optimize architectures that bridge the gap between traditional analytics and next-generation AI. In this role, you will work at the intersection of large‑scale data processing and modern AI, building the critical foundations for high-performance applications and agentic workflows.

Who you are

• Experienced Engineer: You have 2+ years of professional experience in data engineering or a backend‑heavy software engineering role.
• Python Expert: You possess expert‑level Python coding skills (Must Have), focusing on writing clean, scalable, and asynchronous code.
• LLM Orchestrator: You have deep, hands‑on experience (Must Have) with LangChain or LangGraph to build sophisticated multi‑step chains and agentic systems.
• Vector DB Specialist: You have proven experience (Must Have) implementing and tuning Vector Databases for high‑volume RAG pipelines.
• Data Foundationist: You have a strong understanding of traditional data modeling, ETL/ELT processes, and working with SQL/NoSQL databases.
• AI‑Literate: You have a solid grasp of embedding models, tokenization, and modern information retrieval techniques.
• Agile & Innovative: You thrive in fast‑paced environments and enjoy staying updated with the rapidly evolving landscape of GenAI and search technologies.

What you’ll be doing

• Architect AI Data Pipelines: Design and maintain robust data ingestion and transformation pipelines tailored for LLM training, fine‑tuning, and Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG).
• Build Agentic Workflows: Utilize LangGraph to develop complex, state‑managed AI agents and cyclical workflows that enhance automated user interactions.
• Optimize RAG Systems: Architect the retrieval layer of our AI applications, implementing efficient document embedding strategies and semantic search.
• Manage Vector Infrastructure: Implement and optimize Vector Databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, or Milvus) to ensure high‑performance data retrieval and storage.
• Scale Data Models: Create scalable data schemas that support both structured and unstructured data, ensuring seamless integration with our AI services.
• Performance Engineering: Identify and resolve latency bottlenecks in data retrieval and embedding generation to ensure real‑time AI responsiveness.
• Collaborate Cross‑Functionally: Partner with AI Researchers and Product Managers to transition experimental AI prototypes into production‑ready data products.
