  • Collaborate with clients to understand business needs and translate them into data solutions
  • Communicate technical designs to both technical teams and business stakeholders
  • Support AI/ML systems by building feature engineering pipelines and enabling data access for autonomous agents

What We’re Looking For

  • Work with feature stores, vector databases, or RAG/LLM workloads
  • Experience in real-time data processing with Kafka, Spark Streaming, or Azure Event Hubs
  • Familiarity with data observability tools like Great Expectations, Soda, or Monte Carlo
  • Knowledge of DataOps, CI/CD automation, and version-controlled pipeline deployment
  • Cloud certifications (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, Azure, or AWS)
  • Consulting experience or client-facing technical roles
  • Contributions to open-source data projects or community engagement

Work Environment

This is a hybrid role with flexibility to work remotely and on-site. Periodic travel to client locations may be required. You’ll join a team of engineers and data scientists focused on delivering production systems that drive real business outcomes for enterprise clients.
