Data Engineer AI

Role Overview

As a Senior Data Engineer within the Transformation Office, you are the hands-on architect of the data supply chain for our most advanced initiatives. You will be responsible for the "heavy lifting" required to fuel Data Science models and AI applications with high-fidelity data. Your mission is to build the pipelines that bridge our legacy on-prem systems (Mainframes, SQL Server, DB2) with our modern Snowflake environment and AWS/Azure AI stacks. You are a "day-one" builder who ensures that data is not just moved, but engineered for the specific requirements of model training, feature stores, and RAG-based AI systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Hybrid Data Pipeline Execution: Design and implement robust ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest data from legacy on-prem sources, AWS (S3/RDS), and Azure (Blob/SQL), centralizing it for consumption in Snowflake and AI services.

• Engineering for Data Science: Build and maintain Feature Stores and specialized datasets optimized for machine learning, ensuring Data Scientists have immediate access to clean, versioned, and statistically valid data.

• Engineering for AI (RAG & LLMs): Develop the data pipelines required for Generative AI, including the automated extraction, chunking, and loading of unstructured data into vector stores across AWS and Azure.

• Snowflake Power-User Execution: Act as the technical lead for our Snowflake data warehouse, implementing sophisticated data modeling, Snowpipe automation, and compute optimization to support high-concurrency AI workloads.

• Legacy "Back-Reach" Engineering: Execute non-invasive data extraction patterns to unlock mission-critical data from decades-old on-premise systems without disrupting core business operations.

• Multi-Cloud Orchestration: Manage complex, cross-platform data workflows using Airflow, Step Functions, or Azure Data Factory, ensuring the synchronization of data across our multi-cloud AI posture.

• IT & Security Diplomacy: Partner directly with central IT, Database Administrators, and Security teams to solve connectivity hurdles (PrivateLink, IAM, firewalls) and secure "license to operate" for new data flows.

• Data Quality for Model Integrity: Implement automated validation and observability layers to detect data drift and quality issues that could compromise the accuracy of production AI and Data Science models.

• Cost & Performance Management: Drive the efficiency of our data stack by optimizing storage and query performance in Snowflake, AWS, and Azure to manage the ROI of the Transformation Office.

• Direct Stakeholder Collaboration: Work as a dedicated engineering partner to MLOps and Data Science teams to rapidly iterate on data requirements for evolving AI use cases.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field is required. A Master’s degree is highly desirable.

• Proven Execution: 6+ years of hands-on data engineering experience, with a track record of building production-grade pipelines for Data Science and AI in multi-cloud environments.

• Snowflake Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Snowflake architecture, including data sharing, performance tuning, and the integration of Snowflake with external cloud AI services.

• Multi-Cloud Proficiency: Advanced, hands-on knowledge of AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda) and Azure (Data Factory, Synapse) data services.

• Technical Stack: Mastery of Python, SQL, and PySpark. Deep experience with data orchestration and containerization (Docker).

• Legacy Expertise: Proven ability to interface with "old world" tech (on-premise SQL, Mainframe extracts, flat files) and transform it for modern cloud consumption.

• AI/DS Fluency: A strong understanding of the specific data needs for Machine Learning (feature engineering) and Generative AI (vectorization and embedding pipelines).

• Execution Mindset: A "get-it-done" attitude, capable of navigating enterprise bureaucracy and technical debt to ship code at the speed required by a Transformation Office.
