TL;DR · Applied AI & Data Engineer, Business & Education

Applied AI & Data Engineer - Business & Education joins the team responsible for infrastructure, platforms, and services supporting enterprise and education customers. This role involves designing and building a data and AI platform using Databricks, AWS, and cloud-native patterns to power agentic systems, RAG pipelines, vector search, and knowledge graphs. The engineer will develop intelligent workflows, natural-language data interfaces, and automated analytics tools while managing the full lifecycle of production AI products including evaluation, guardrails, and deployment. Key technologies include Python, Scala, Java, or Go, along with Spark, Kafka, Delta Lake, and frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex. The role addresses the challenge of building an AI-first data organization by creating scalable systems for multi-agent orchestration and tool-calling workflows to accelerate internal data engineering, analytics, and data science capabilities across the business.

What you'll do

  • Design and build data and AI platforms using Databricks, AWS, and cloud-native architectures.
  • Develop end-to-end agentic systems including retrieval, planning, evaluation, guardrails, and deployment.
  • Build infrastructure for GenAI features like RAG pipelines, vector search, and knowledge graphs.
  • Optimize system performance regarding model selection, latency, throughput, and token economics at scale.
  • Translate ambiguous stakeholder requirements into secure, scalable, and production-ready technical systems.
  • Provide technical leadership through design reviews, implementation guidance, and project lifecycle management.
  • Mentor engineers and lead the adoption of AI-native practices through workshops and playbooks.
  • Research and implement state-of-the-art data and AI techniques to accelerate internal workflows.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in data, analytics, software, or ML engineering, including at least 3 years building production AI and agentic LLM systems.
  • Proficiency in modern LLM/agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.), vector search, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent coordination.
  • Expertise in designing and operating production AI products using LLMs, foundation models, agents, and deterministic components.
  • Experience building scalable data platforms on cloud-native systems like Databricks or AWS using Spark, Kafka, and Delta Lake.
  • Proficiency in at least one high-level language (Python, Scala, Java, or Go) and strong SQL skills.
  • 3+ years of experience mentoring engineers and providing technical leadership across concurrent initiatives.
  • A BS or MS in Computer Science, Information Systems, AI, Machine Learning, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Experience with MLOps/LLMOps, model fine-tuning, and building natural-language interfaces over data (preferred).
