Senior Platform Engineer - AI-Driven Data Platform

Datavations; New York, Northern (NY, KY); Hybrid; USD 170,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Datavations, a New York–based data and AI software company serving the building materials industry, seeks a senior engineer to own product taxonomy and attributes end-to-end. You will own the extraction engine, the dbt models, Dagster orchestration, and the customer-facing React/Next.js front end, with end-to-end responsibility for the write path and data quality.

This hands-on role offers architectural latitude, a modern monorepo, and close collaboration with the data platform team to deliver

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure, SRE, or Platform Engineering.

Responsibilities

• The attribute extraction engine — LLM-based extraction at production scale, its configuration model, its quality gates, and its cost profile.
• The transformation layer for this domain — the dbt models that turn extracted values into published attributes: standardization, and the override model that lets human judgment reliably beat the machine.
• Orchestration and reliability for these pipelines — the Dagster jobs, sensors, and schedules that run taxonomy and attribute processing, including run monitoring, retries, alerting, and recovery tooling.
• The applications — internal and customer-facing. You own the screens people actually use, not only the services behind them: the internal platform our teams run taxonomy and attributes from, and the customer-facing views of this data as they move onto it.
• The write path — every change validated, logged, and visible before it ships, with approval where it matters.
• Data quality and observability — automated testing on the data itself, plus statistical detection of what goes wrong quietly: outliers, drift, a retailer that stopped updating, a value that flips between runs.
• Engineering standards for the domain — documentation, tests, runbooks, and review culture as the system and the team around it scale.
