Senior Data Developer (AI/ML)

Join our AI/ML integration layer team responsible for delivering AI capabilities to internal product squads and external stakeholders.
You will build and maintain the end‑to‑end data tooling that connects production systems to AI/ML services—covering ingestion, transformation, feature delivery, evaluation datasets, observability, and secure access—so models and AI-powered features can be developed, deployed, and continuously improved at scale.
Your work will be critical in enabling the team to extract insights, monitor trends, and identify weaknesses in production models.

This is a unique opportunity for a data engineer who wants to own the full data stack and shape how data engineering is done across the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain ETL pipelines to ingest, process, and structure large volumes of data from multiple sources.
• Design scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant data workflows using modern data engineering tools.
• Establish the data architecture and strategy for handling structured and unstructured datasets in production.
• Ensure data pipelines meet quality, security, and performance standards.
• Partner closely with data scientists and AI software developers to provide access to datasets for experimentation, model evaluation, and monitoring.
• Deploy and optimize data workflows in cloud environments 
• Develop processes for data validation, observability, and monitoring to guarantee accuracy and consistency.
• Continuously evaluate new tools and frameworks to improve scalability, cost efficiency, and maintainability.

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or a related quantitative field, combined with 5+ years of hands-on experience in building production-grade data pipelines and workflows; OR an equivalent combination of education and 7+ years of relevant practical experience.
• Proven expertise with AI/ML production pipelines and knowledge of model monitoring
• Experience with data engineering and orchestration tools (e.g. Azure Data Factory, Databricks Jobs, Airflow, etc.) to schedule, monitor, and recover pipelines; enforce idempotency, schema evolution, and backfills.
• Experience with distributed data processing frameworks  (Apache Spark, PySpark, or equivalent).
• Experience working in cloud environments, preferably Azure.
• Strong programming skills in Python and SQL.
• Familiarity with working with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Understanding of data quality, governance, and security best practices.
