Senior Data & AI Platform Engineer

Anblicks; Dallas (TX); On-site; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Anblicks is seeking a Lead AI Engineer to own end-to-end delivery of an enterprise data and AI platform. This hands-on leadership role focuses on cloud data architecture, AI/ML pipelines, and CI/CD, while guiding an onshore/offshore team and serving as the primary technical contact for stakeholders.

The successful candidate combines deep data engineering with applied AI/ML and proven delivery ownership to take features from requirements through production.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in data engineering and applied machine learning, with 3+ years in a technical lead or delivery-lead capacity.
• Expert-level cloud data platform experience (Snowflake strongly preferred): stored procedures, tasks/streams, scripting, performance tuning, and warehouse/role/schema design.
• Strong SQL and dimensional/data-warehouse modeling (medallion architecture, Kimball).
• Proven track record building and deploying ML models to production across supervised, unsupervised, and deep-learning techniques, including model explainability.
• Hands-on experience with modern ML tooling and MLOps (feature engineering, training pipelines, model registry, monitoring); Snowpark ML or equivalent strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of generative AI / LLM frameworks and their practical application in enterprise settings.
• Advanced Python for data and ML workflows and deployment scripting.
• Git and CI/CD (e.g., Azure DevOps), including PR-based workflows and multi-environment (DEV/PROD) promotion with approval gates.
• Demonstrated ability to lead distributed teams and interface directly with business and technical stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable owning client-facing delivery.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of the data and AI platform across ingestion, curation, and consumption layers, including analytics and ML tiers.
• Design and build cloud data engineering assets: stored procedures, orchestrated pipelines/DAGs, dimensional and canonical data models, transformation views, and idempotent ingestion.
• Architect, develop, and productionize the AI/ML layer from feature engineering through training, scoring, deployment, and monitoring.
• Build and operationalize models spanning supervised, unsupervised, and deep-learning approaches, integrating outputs into downstream surfaces.
• Establish MLOps practices: feature stores, experiment tracking, model registry/versioning, retraining, and production monitoring for drift.
• Deliver model explainability and transparency for trust and auditability.
• Evaluate and apply generative AI / LLMs where they add value in enterprise settings.
• Manage the full CI/CD lifecycle with PR reviews, environment promotion, and governed production deployments.
• Lead distributed onshore/offshore teams; set engineering standards and ensure quality delivery.
• Act as technical liaison to stakeholders and SMEs; run design sessions and govern delivery artifacts.
