AI-powered tools that give sales and product teams fast, reliable answers to product, servicing, and client questions. Models that optimize pricing and foreign-currency conversion to drive real business value. Real-time pipelines that turn raw client and servicing data into insights teams can act on. Who we\'re looking for This is a hybrid role that spans data engineering, AI product enablement, and platform architecture. You\'ll build and scale the data backbone behind AI at GPS: engineering AI-ready data products, helping shape platform direction, and taking solutions from idea to production. We want someone who enjoys both the hands-on craft of building strong data platforms and the bigger opportunity to influence how the organization delivers AI. Whether you lean engineer or lean strategist, there\'s room here to do both. Responsibilities Build the data foundation for AI. Design and deliver end-to-end pipelines and Data Lake architecture using Python, Spark, SQL, and modern ETL practices, turning large raw datasets into trusted, AI-ready data products. Enable AI products through data. Work with Product Owners, Data Scientists, and business partners to move AI and GenAI solutions into production, turning business problems into reusable data capabilities. Set platform standards. Define the architecture, patterns, and standards for how data and AI get built, deployed, and used across the org, with an eye on reusability, performance, and cost. Engineer production-grade solutions. Apply Object-Oriented design, solid data platform concepts, and strong ETL practices to build reliable, scalable pipelines, and help shape where the team\'s data capabilities go next. Own the data-to-insight lifecycle. Review and improve data-flow processes, understand how data gets consumed, and make sure insights reach the people who use them. Champion trusted, governed data. Build Data Governance and Quality principles into your work and act as a reliable partner to stakeholders and data consumers. Drive projects from idea to production. Take new concepts and deliver them across business and Enterprise IT partnerships in a fast-paced environment. Keep the customer first. Anticipate needs, take initiative, and deliver solutions that work well for internal and external customers.
