  • Design and develop data pipelines and knowledge layers for agentic AI applications.
  • Build RAG-ready pipelines for document ingestion, parsing, metadata tagging, and vector search indexing.
  • Design scalable architectures for semantic search, hybrid search, and knowledge graphs.
  • Develop mechanisms for incremental synchronization of data to ensure real-time knowledge updates.
  • Operate distributed data systems including SQL/NoSQL databases, vector search, and orchestration tools.
  • Build pipelines to ingest and transform unstructured data like customer feedback and sales recordings.
  • Develop data validation and monitoring processes to ensure quality and identify bias in AIML datasets.
  • Implement data governance policies to ensure the ethical use of data in AI applications.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in designing, building, and maintaining scalable data solutions for large-scale analytics.
  • Experience designing and building knowledge layers for AI systems, including knowledge graphs, RAG pipelines, and vector databases.
  • Experience modeling enterprise knowledge and metadata within semantic layers to represent business entities and relationships.
  • Proficiency in SQL and development experience with cloud database environments like Snowflake, Redshift, or Databricks.
  • Proficiency in programming languages like Python, Java, and R, and open-source frameworks like Hadoop and Spark.
  • Experience building data pipelines to ingest, transform, and continuously synchronize structured and unstructured enterprise data.
  • Hands-on experience with modern cloud data stacks, including Git, CI/CD tools, Apache Airflow, and AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Experience architecting data pipelines through ETL tools and API integrations (preferred).
