TL;DR · Software Data Engineer, Sensing & Connectivity

The Software Data Engineer, Sensing & Connectivity joins a team focused on building frameworks, services, and tools that accelerate feature development. In this role, you will build tools and services to support model evaluation at scale, specifically focusing on the reliability and accuracy of generative AI systems. You will develop data pipelines to capture and store evaluation results, design data models for reproducible results, and maintain validation frameworks for synthetic data. Key responsibilities include integrating evaluation platforms with enterprise services and operating services on production-grade infrastructure. Required skills include Python, experience with distributed systems, and the use of agentic AI coding tools. You must demonstrate proficiency in CI/CD, source code management, and building production software while maintaining lean codebases through disciplined code reviews and branching.

What you'll do

  • Build tools and services to support model evaluation at scale.
  • Build and maintain data pipelines for evaluation datasets, run results, and metrics.
  • Design data models and storage to ensure evaluation results are reproducible and queryable.
  • Design and maintain validation frameworks to measure the reliability and accuracy of synthetic data.
  • Integrate the evaluation platform with various enterprise services.
  • Deploy, monitor, and operate services on production-grade infrastructure.
  • Develop and support new and existing features in a hands-on capacity.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or 3 years of equivalent work experience.
  • 3+ years of experience building and operating production software in Python.
  • Experience debugging distributed systems or data pipelines in production using logs, metrics, and task state.
  • Experience designing input validation and configuration contracts for systems where late failures are costly.
  • Proven, hands-on use of agentic AI coding tools in day-to-day software development.
  • Experience building and operating data pipelines and data stores.
  • Experience with CI/CD, including automated testing, reproducible builds, and safe rollouts.
  • Experience with model evaluation frameworks or ML infrastructure (preferred).
