We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Data Infrastructure team. In this role, you will design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable, and secure data infrastructure powering analytics, AI applications, and data-driven products. You'll collaborate closely with data scientists, product engineers, and machine learning engineers to enhance data accessibility, governance, and efficiency, tackling complex technical challenges with pragmatism and long-term vision.
What You'll Do:
- Design, develop, and maintain data infrastructure capabilities that enable teams to effectively and securely produce, consume, and utilize data from internal systems and third-party platforms. Example projects include:
- Building a platform for deploying AI-powered and LLM-backed applications that leverage production-grade, governed data.
- Scaling analytics pipelines and data models to support a rapidly growing and increasingly complex business.
- Enabling data discovery, lineage, and quality monitoring to support trust and compliance in AI training and inference pipelines.
- Implementing change data capture (CDC) for Postgres and Kafka to support real-time data availability.
- Adopting modern table formats (e.g., Apache Iceberg) to enable incremental processing and time travel for ML features and analytical workflows.
- Operationalizing a security classification and governance framework to support responsible AI and data privacy.
- Generating synthetic datasets that replicate production schema and distributions for safe development, testing, and AI model evaluation.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- Strong programming skills in Python and/or Go, with a track record of delivering reliable, well-tested systems.
- Deep knowledge of data engineering fundamentals, including warehousing, modeling, and transformation (e.g., dbt, SQL).
- Experience designing and building infrastructure that supports both batch and streaming data processing at scale.
- Experience building infrastructure that supports AI and ML workflows, such as feature generation, model inference, or vectorized search.
- Familiarity with data lakehouse formats (e.g., Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake) and the benefits they provide for AI-scale workloads.
- A strong understanding of data governance, security, and compliance principles, especially in regulated or privacy-sensitive domains.
- Proficiency with cloud-native data infrastructure in AWS (e.g., EKS, S3, IAM) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi).
- Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional partners in a fast-paced, security-conscious environment.
- Bonus: experience enabling LLM use cases through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, or synthetic data generation.
