About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and build data systems that power reliable AI workflows across enterprise environments
  • Develop pipelines for collecting, cleaning, transforming, labeling, and evaluating domain-specific data used by AI systems
  • Create data quality frameworks that identify coverage gaps, ambiguity, drift, duplication, leakage, and other failure modes
  • Build tools and workflows that help teams turn raw customer data into usable context for retrieval, evaluation, reasoning, and execution
  • Partner with AI Researchers and AI Engineers to understand how data quality affects system behavior and production outcomes
  • Develop synthetic data, annotation, and feedback-loop strategies to improve system performance in areas where real-world data is sparse or noisy
  • Analyze customer workflows and datasets to determine what information AI systems need, where that information should come from, and how it should be represented
  • Communicate clearly with internal teams and customer stakeholders about data assumptions, limitations, risks, and tradeoffs

Requirements

  • Experience building data systems for AI: built data pipelines, evaluation datasets, labeling workflows, retrieval corpora, or similar systems that improve model or agent behavior
  • Strong data engineering fundamentals: write clean Python and SQL, understand data modeling and pipeline reliability, build systems that are maintainable under production constraints
  • Research-oriented builder: comfortable investigating how data quality, structure, and representation affect AI system performance
  • AI-native working style: use AI tools daily to accelerate coding, analysis, debugging, exploration, and workflow automation
  • Comfort with ambiguous data: reason through messy enterprise datasets, incomplete documentation, conflicting business definitions, and changing requirements
  • Bias towards measurement: prefer to make data quality and system behavior observable through concrete metrics, evaluations, and experiments
  • Customer environment readiness: work directly with customer teams to understand their data, ask precise questions, and explain tradeoffs clearly
  • Ownership mentality: take responsibility for whether the data layer enables the AI system to deliver reliable value in production
