We're building the future of enterprise data systems - creating a canonical data product that serves as the single source of truth for data while enabling next-generation AI-powered experiences.This isn't just moving and managing data; it's architecting coupled, intelligent systems that power both traditional analytics and agent capabilities at scale.
You will lead key core components of our multi-layered data architecture spanning raw ingestion through AI-ready semantic layers, working with modern cloud technologies. The technical challenges are substantial: distributed systems design, near real-time processing, complex transformations, data quality frameworks, and emerging AI architecture.
We are looking for someone who combines exceptional data engineering fundamentals with deep belief in AI capabilities - the ideal candidate is comfortable designing systems, delivering autonomously and thinking holistically about the future of data as a product. You will collaborate across data science, analytics, and software engineering teams with real influence on architectural decisions.

- Champion data as a product and collaborate with data scientists, analysts, software and product teams to understand requirements and architect data solutions that enable both traditional analytics and agentic capabilities.
- Design and evolve data quality frameworks and validation systems to maintain trust in our canonical datasets, including automated monitoring, anomaly detection, and remediation workflows
- Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that ingest, transform, and deliver high-quality datasets across our multi-layered architecture - from raw data landing through production ready data marts.
- Develop and optimize data transformations using SQL and Python to support both analytical workloads and AI-ready semantic layers, ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and performance at scale.
