Qualifications

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building and shipping production systems.
• Hands-on data engineering experience: SQL, data modelling, warehouse or lakehouse design, and building pipelines that other people depend on.
• Experience working with a cloud data warehouse, ideally BigQuery, and with a pipeline orchestration framework.
• Experience with LLM and agent systems, or a clear pull towards them, especially retrieval quality and how you measure whether an answer is any good.

Responsibilities

• Own and improve the analytics datasets that the agent queries, including data modelling, semantic definitions, and the documentation and metadata that make those datasets legible to an LLM.
• Build and maintain the ETL and transformation pipelines that feed those datasets, and raise the bar on their correctness, freshness and testability.
• Improve how the agent finds and uses knowledge: knowledge base search, retrieval quality, context construction and prompt history.
• Build and extend the evaluation systems that tell us whether the agent is answering correctly, and use them to drive measurable quality improvements.
• Develop backend agent workflows covering prompt handling, orchestration and response generation.
• Build user-facing features that make analytics workflows faster for technical and non-technical colleagues alike.
• Partner with data scientists to turn recurring analytics needs into reusable, scalable capabilities rather than one-off answers.
• Help set the roadmap and technical direction for the data and quality side of the platform.
