• Apply established standards for logging, monitoring, error handling, access control, data protection, and operational support.
• Assist with data-quality checks, reconciliation controls, duplicate detection, matching rules, and exception-handling workflows.
• Contribute to AI-enabled solutions such as document processing, conversational applications, retrieval-augmented generation, workflow automation, and intelligent search.
• Use approved AI models, cloud services, SDKs, and APIs under established architecture, security, and responsible AI controls.
• Investigate defects and production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions with guidance from senior engineers.
• Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, API specifications, data mappings, testing evidence, and deployment instructions.
• Work with product owners, business analysts, data engineers, AI/ML engineers, architects, cybersecurity teams, and quality-engineering teams.
• Continuously improve technical knowledge through hands-on delivery, training, experimentation, and feedback from senior engineers.

What You’ll Bring

• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Java, Python, C#, TypeScript, or Go.
• Experience developing and consuming REST APIs.
• Working knowledge of object-oriented or functional programming, data structures and algorithms, relational databases and SQL, Git, automated testing, CI/CD, and Agile delivery.
• Experience processing data using SQL, Python, Spark, Databricks, Kafka, cloud-native data services, or comparable technologies.
• Basic understanding of batch processing, streaming data, data transformation, schema management, data validation, and error handling.
• Familiarity with Customer Data Platform or customer-360 concepts, including unified customer profiles, identity resolution, segmentation, consent, and activation.
• Exposure to Adobe Experience Platform, Salesforce Data Cloud, Tealium, Twilio Segment, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, Treasure Data, or a comparable enterprise platform is beneficial.
• Understanding of API-based and event-driven integration patterns.
• Exposure to Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, or another enterprise cloud environment.
• Interest in AI and GenAI application development, including large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, vector search, and AI-assisted automation.
