TL;DR · People Intelligence Architect

Careers - People Intelligence Architect is a senior individual contributor role focused on building an end-to-end data ecosystem for the People team. You will own the entire lifecycle of people data, from constructing reliable pipelines across HRIS and ATS systems to developing predictive models for attrition, hiring health, and compensation equity. The role requires designing agentic AI workflows and automations to operationalize insights while ensuring high standards for privacy and governance. You will work with SQL, Python, dbt, Airflow, and cloud data warehouses, while utilizing LLMs and agentic frameworks to create autonomous systems. This position solves the challenge of integrating fragmented workforce data into a unified, intelligent architecture. The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in data engineering, data science, and people analytics to transform complex human data into actionable organizational insights.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain reliable data pipelines to unify people data across HRIS, ATS, and compensation systems.
  • Model sensitive workforce data for analytics and machine learning while ensuring high standards of privacy and governance.
  • Develop predictive and diagnostic models for attrition, hiring health, organizational network analysis, and compensation equity.
  • Translate complex, ambiguous people questions into rigorous analyses that provide actionable insights for leadership.
  • Design and deploy AI agents and automations to operationalize data insights and trigger automated workflows.
  • Establish safety guardrails and human-in-the-loop patterns for agentic systems handling sensitive information.
  • Own the end-to-end architecture connecting pipelines, models, and agents into a single coherent system.
  • Set technical standards for People data and AI through code reviews, design documentation, and peer mentorship.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Proven experience building data pipelines using SQL, Python, dbt/Airflow, and cloud data warehouses.
  • Solid data science foundation in statistics, machine learning, experiment design, and model selection.
  • Working knowledge of people/HR data including its specific sensitivities, ethics, and nuances.
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs and agentic frameworks for building automations and evaluation loops.
  • Strong systems thinking to design interconnected components rather than isolated parts.
  • Excellent communication skills to explain technical models to executives and workflows to engineers.
  • Experience with people analytics platforms, organizational network analysis, or deploying AI in regulated environments (preferred).
