Senior AI Data Engineer

Senior AI Data Engineer

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior AI Data Engineer to help transform our Enterprise Data Platform into an AI-native, intelligent platform where AI agents can discover, understand, and interact with enterprise data and platform capabilities. This role focuses on building the foundations that enable AI agents and intelligent applications to effectively leverage enterprise data, including context engineering, semantic understanding, metadata intelligence, AI-ready data abstractions, and agent-driven platform capabilities. This is a hands-on senior role requiring deep expertise in cloud data engineering, AI-enabled data platforms, agentic AI architectures, semantic modeling, metadata and context engineering, and modern software development practices. The ideal candidate combines strong technical execution skills with architectural thinking and the ability to design and deliver scalable AI capabilities that integrate seamlessly with enterprise data platforms and business workflows.

We offer:

• Career Development
• Competitive Compensation and Benefits
• Pay Transparency
• Global Opportunities

The base pay range for this role is estimated to be $121,200.00 - $151,500.00 at the time of posting. Final compensation will be determined by various factors such as work location, education, experience, knowledge and skills.

This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation and training.

This is What You Will Do in This Role:

• Evolve the Enterprise Data Platform into an AI-native platform by enabling intelligent discovery, understanding, and utilization of enterprise data.
• Design and implement AI-driven capabilities and agents that enhance data platform capabilities, automate complex workflows, and improve how data is discovered, managed, governed, and consumed.
• Build the data intelligence foundation required for AI systems, including trusted context, business understanding, and reliable access to enterprise data.
• Design architectures that enable AI systems to reason over enterprise data and safely interact with platform capabilities, APIs, services, and enterprise applications.
• Develop scalable AI-enabled solutions that integrate with cloud data platforms, distributed systems, and modern software architectures.
• Establish engineering practices for reliable production AI capabilities, including security, governance, evaluation, monitoring, and operational excellence.
• Apply strong data engineering and software engineering principles to build scalable, maintainable AI-enabled platform capabilities.
• Partner with data, AI/ML, architecture, and product teams to identify and deliver high-impact AI capabilities for the enterprise data platform.
• Mentor engineers and define best practices for AI-enabled data platform development.

What We Are Looking For:

• 8–12+ years of experience in enterprise software engineering, cloud data engineering, distributed systems, or data platform development.
• Hands-on experience designing and building production AI systems, AI agents, or agentic workflows integrated with enterprise applications, APIs, and platform services.
• Strong understanding of AI agent architectures, including tool calling, orchestration, context management, memory, evaluation, observability, and production deployment patterns.
• Experience building AI-ready data platforms with capabilities such as semantic understanding, metadata intelligence, context engineering, and trusted data access.
• Strong cloud data engineering experience, preferably in GCP, including BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Dataflow/Cloud Run, Composer/Airflow, and modern data platform services.
• Strong programming skills in Python and experience building scalable software services, APIs, and microservice architectures.
• Deep understanding of data engineering fundamentals, including data modeling, data contracts, metadata, lineage, governance, data quality, and batch/streaming architectures.
• Experience integrating AI capabilities with enterprise data platforms and distributed systems.
• Experience with modern data and cloud-native technologies such as Iceberg, Trino, Kubernetes, and Docker.
• Experience designing secure, governed, and observable production AI solutions, including evaluation, monitoring, and operational excellence.

What Will Set You Apart :

• Experience building AI agents that execute real-world enterprise workflows, beyond conversational assistants or prototypes.
• Experience with AI frameworks and platforms such as Google ADK, Vertex AI, MCP, LangGraph, or similar technologies.
• Experience applying RAG, embeddings, vector search, semantic layers, or knowledge graphs to enterprise AI solutions.
• Experience with Data Mesh, domain-driven data architecture, or federated data platforms.
• Supply chain, logistics, warehouse automation, or industrial domain experience.

Location & Authorization: This is a hybrid role requiring proximity to one of our U.S. offices (Atlanta GA, Grand Rapids MI, Milwaukee WI). Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future sponsorship.
