Data Engineer

Job summary

Architect and build ETL pipelines for structured and unstructured data to support AI agents. Manage vector database infrastructure and implement real-time event-driven architectures for embedding updates.

Job details

You will architect ETL pipelines, manage vector databases, enforce governance, and build real-time data flows that continuously update embeddings and indexes. Your work ensures AI agents operate with fresh, trustworthy information. What You Will Do • Data Pipelines: Build ETL flows for structured/unstructured data, ensuring normalization, deduplication, and semantic consistency. • Vector Infrastructure: Manage pgvector, Azure AI Search, Redis vector indexing, and hybrid search layers. • Data Governance: Implement zero-trust access, privacy controls, and compliance within AI context pipelines. • Real-time Processing: Build event-driven architectures that continuously refresh embeddings and indexes. Required Qualifications • Deep experience with distributed data systems, SQL, and orchestration tools. • Experience tuning high-throughput database infrastructure. • Knowledge of Google’s GECX is a plus. • Familiarity with chunking strategies and embedding models. Skillset Requirements • ETL & Data Modeling: Designing pipelines for structured/unstructured data, normalization, deduplication, and semantic consistency. • Vector Databases: pgvector, Redis, Azure AI Search, hybrid search, and index optimization. • Distributed Data Systems: Kafka, Spark, Flink, or similar event-driven architectures. • Data Governance: Zero-trust access, privacy controls, compliance, and auditability. • Real-time Embedding Updates: Event-driven refresh pipelines for RAG and agent memory systems. • Chunking & Embeddings: Semantic chunking, metadata tagging, and embedding model selection. • Search Infrastructure: BM25, hybrid search, inverted indexes, and ranking algorithms. • Performance Tuning: High-throughput read/write optimization. • Data Quality & Lineage: Validation, schema enforcement, and lineage tracking (e.g., Great Expectations, OpenLineage).
