Staff AI Data Engineer

What You'll Do

• Architect and deliver end-to-end data and AI solutions — from ingestion and curation to modeling, serving, and consumption — that are scalable, secure, and production-grade.
• Design and build modern data platforms on the lakehouse and cloud data warehouse: streaming and batch ingestion, medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold) architectures, data mesh patterns, data modeling, data quality, lineage, security, and governance.
• Design, implement, and deploy AI/GenAI solutions on enterprise data — including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), LLM-powered agents and agentic workflows, vector search, and classical/statistical ML (e.g., anomaly and excursion detection) — and take them through their full lifecycle from prototype to production.
• Build and champion AI-assisted engineering and agentic DataOps — designing LLM-agent orchestration and automation that accelerate data pipeline development, code review, testing, deployment, and operations across the team.
• Stand up MLOps/LLMOps foundations: experiment tracking, model/prompt evaluation, model serving, monitoring, evaluation harnesses, cost and quality guardrails for AI workloads.
• Lead the execution of large-scale, complex data and analytics efforts; scope key business challenges, identify the right data, and provide direction to data analysts, data scientists, data engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders.
• Partner with data platform, infrastructure, and enterprise architecture teams to architect and connect high-quality, resilient data feeds across the enterprise, and ensure architectural alignment.
• Drive innovation by creating new frameworks, standards, reference architectures, prototypes, and automation — including AI-assisted engineering and DataOps tooling.
• Advise and influence business leaders and senior stakeholders with data-driven insights; communicate both the high-level concept and detailed user stories, and build consensus to adopt data- and AI-driven improvements.
• Design, build, and maintain robust processing frameworks for petabyte-scale structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data to enable actionable insights and analytics.
• Build dashboards and data products using enterprise BI tools such as Power BI (preferred) and Tableau.
• Technology & Tools You bring first-principles, hands-on depth across the following.
• Breadth is expected at this level; not every item is mandatory, but the candidate should be strongly grounded in the core stack.
• Cloud: Cloud platforms — AWS and Azure (compute, storage, networking, identity, cost).
• Data platforms: Databricks (Spark, Delta Lake, Structured Streaming, Auto Loader, Unity Catalog), Snowflake, and lakehouse/warehouse design.
• Languages & processing: Expert-level Python and SQL; strong Apache Spark (batch and streaming).
• Data engineering: dbt, medallion and data-mesh architectures, orchestration (Databricks Jobs/Asset Bundles, Airflow/Dagster), CDC and streaming (Kafka/Auto Loader).
• AI/ML & GenAI: Applied LLMs and GenAI — RAG, agents/agentic orchestration, vector search, prompt and context engineering; ML for time-series/anomaly detection; MLflow or equivalent for tracking, evaluation, and model serving; LLMOps/MLOps.
• AI-assisted engineering: Experience building or operating LLM-agent orchestration (e.g., Claude/Anthropic, agent SDKs) to automate data engineering and DataOps workflows is a strong differentiator.
• BI & consumption: Power BI (preferred), building consumable data products/APIs.
• Engineering practices: Git-based workflows, CI/CD, containerization (Docker), testing, and observability; DataOps and reproducible engineering.
• Nice to have: Familiarity with high-volume telemetry/columnar stores, data modeling tools, and data governance tooling is a plus.
• Qualifications 10+ years of experience in software/data engineering, including 5+ years in data engineering and demonstrable experience designing and shipping AI/ML or GenAI solutions to production.
• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Data Science, or a related field (advanced degree a plus).
• First-principles command of distributed systems, streaming systems, and data engineering fundamentals (Spark, Kafka, Delta Lake, orchestration).
• Deep knowledge of Python, SQL, database and data-model design, and master-data strategies.
• Proven ability to design, architect, and roll out data products and AI solutions, owning them through their entire lifecycle.
• Hands-on experience building applied AI on enterprise data — RAG, LLM agents, vector search, or production ML — with a working understanding of evaluation, guardrails, and cost/quality trade-offs.
• Experience mentoring and leading technical staff and incorporating modern software development tools and practices.
• A confident peer influencer with strong communication skills who quickly establishes credibility and can lead cross-functional technical teams and engage business stakeholders.
• Additional Qualifications (Preferred) Industry background in a semiconductor manufacturing company — experience with semiconductor design & manufacturing data supporting vertical business units.
• Experience operating in a data-mesh / enterprise data-platform environment across many source systems (ERP, CRM, engineering/IP telemetry).
• Experience metering, evaluating, or governing AI/GenAI workloads (usage, cost, and quality).
• Certifications in cloud platforms, Databricks, Snowflake, or data/AI engineering.
