Position Summary SHEIN Technology is seeking a full-time Senior Data Engineer I (Intelligent Automation) embedded within the Data Engineering team, reporting to Director, Data Engineering. This role applies GenAI/LLM capabilities to real data-engineering workflows, turning prototypes into reliable internal tools that improve engineering productivity, operational efficiency, and data access. The primary focus is AI automation for Data Engineering—not requiring deep expertise across every data-platform technology on day one. The ideal candidate combines hands-on GenAI engineering, strong Python/SQL and software fundamentals, and practical production ownership. Job Responsibilities Build and productionize GenAI/LLM solutions for BDE workflows, including code/SQL assistance, metadata and lineage discovery, data retrieval, and engineering knowledge access. Develop retrieval/RAG and agentic workflows that connect engineering documentation, SOPs, databases, metadata, logs, APIs, and internal platforms using appropriate evaluation, guardrails, and access controls. Improve BDE operational efficiency through AI-assisted incident triage, log/alert analysis, root-cause analysis, and repeatable workflow automation. Integrate AI capabilities into reusable internal services and developer tools; establish monitoring, feedback loops, quality metrics, and adoption measures to move solutions from prototype to sustained production use. Partner with Data Engineering, AI, SRE, Database, Platform, and global teams to identify high-value use cases and integrate solutions into existing data workflows. Own scoped projects independently from problem definition through implementation and production support, and contribute to practical engineering standards and documentation. Job Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent technical discipline. 3+ years of software, machine learning, data, or platform engineering experience, including hands-on ownership of production systems, services, or developer-facing tools. Strong Python and SQL skills, solid software-engineering fundamentals, and practical understanding of databases, APIs, data pipelines, and distributed systems. Hands-on experience building GenAI/LLM applications using one or more of RAG/retrieval, embeddings, tool/function calling, agents, prompt workflows, or model APIs. Experience productionizing services, automation, or data/ML workloads with testing, CI/CD, monitoring, logging, security considerations, and incident troubleshooting. Strong ownership and communication skills, with the ability to translate ambiguous engineering pain points into focused, measurable solutions and work effectively with geographically distributed teams. Nice to Have Experience with Spark, Flink, Kafka, Hive/lakehouse systems, Airflow, Kubernetes, or similar large-scale data technologies. Experience with metadata/lineage, enterprise search or knowledge systems, developer productivity, data retrieval, observability, or incident/RCA automation. Familiarity with cloud-scale data platforms and modern table formats such as Paimon, Iceberg, or Delta Lake. Experience driving adoption of internal AI tools or working in high-scale e-commerce or data-platform environments.
