About the role

  • The work spans client delivery and internal accelerator development.

Responsibilities

  • Own work end to end - from discovery and solution shaping through system design, build, and production deployment.
  • Design and build the data foundation: data models, schema design, dimensional modeling, ETL/ELT pipelines, and slowly changing dimensions (SCD) that hold up in production.
  • Build full-stack applications on top of that foundation - Python/FastAPI services and Next.js frontends that make data and AI workflows usable.
  • Use AI coding agents (Claude Code or equivalent) as a primary build accelerator to move from spec to working software quickly, without sacrificing judgment or quality.
  • Design and build AI capabilities where they fit - RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and LLM-in-the-loop processing - and compose them via MCP servers, Skills, and Plugins.
  • Stand up and own CI/CD and cloud deployments on AWS and Azure.
  • Translate ambiguous client requirements into clear designs and communicate trade-offs to both technical and business audiences.
  • Hands-on data pipeline experience - ETL/ELT design across batch and incremental loads, built and maintained in production (not just SQL scripts on a schedule).

Nice to have

  • Agentic AI depth - LangGraph or comparable: multi-agent coordination, tool use, memory, and state management.
  • Experience in a consulting or client-delivery environment, or a forward-deployed / embedded engineering role.
  • You Might Be a Fit If...
  • You're comfortable designing a data model in the morning and shipping a FastAPI + Next.js feature on top of it in the afternoon.

Skills

  • RAG engineering - retrieval strategies, vector stores, chunking, re-ranking, and evaluation.
  • Workflow orchestration breadth across multiple tools (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, Temporal, ADF, Databricks Workflows).
  • Streaming data patterns - Kafka, Spark Streaming, or Flink.
  • Vector databases - Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, or pgvector.
  • Experiment tracking - MLflow, Weights & Biases, or similar.
  • Contributions to open-source AI or data tooling, or to internal accelerators and frameworks.
  • Multi-cloud or hybrid cloud architecture exposure.
  • Fully remote - work from anywhere, globally.
  • High-autonomy, high-ownership work across the full arc of real client problems - not toy datasets or boxed-in tickets.
  • Access to the full modern data and AI stack - no one-tool shops.

Compensation

  • Semi-annual team offsites - we come together in person at least twice a year to connect, recharge, and do the work that's better face-to-face.

Company info

  • We're looking for genuine production depth across data engineering and full-stack development - not surface familiarity with either.
