We’re looking for a talented Sr. Data Engineer to join our new Data Platform product team.

What You Will Get To Do:

• Design and ship LLM-powered product features end to end, including retrieval-augmented generation and multi-step agent workflows

• Build the evaluation harness before the feature - define what "good" means, measure it offline and in production, and catch regressions before clients do

• Own prompt and context engineering as an engineering discipline: versioned, tested, and iterated against data rather than intuition

• Build and tune retrieval infrastructure - chunking, embeddings, vector search, hybrid filtering - over structured and unstructured client data

• Make it production-grade: latency budgets, cost per request, caching, fallbacks, and guardrails for unsafe or low-confidence output

• Design, build, and own the core data models and key infrastructure to manage data and usage across the Eclipse Platform and Data Marketplace

• Design and implement a data quality monitoring system. The system should include source-to-target data validations as well as anomaly detection

• Collaborate closely with Engineering,Product Management, & IT, to inform product decision making with data and to identify opportunities for system improvements. Including recommendations and innovation for Information architecture and insights that are valuable to our customers

• Collaborate with the Engineering, IT, and Security team(s) to meet data governance requirements

• Build dashboards to help Leadership monitor performance, availability, and user behavior of the platform

• Answer questions from the leadership team for reporting, publications, and industry reports

• Think creatively to find optimal solutions to our complex, often unstructured problems

What You Will Bring:

• Demonstrated experience shipping an LLM-backed feature to real users, and a clear account of how you measured its quality

• Working knowledge of retrieval: embeddings, vector stores, and why naive RAG usually underperforms

• Data Expertise: Proficient in data modeling, analysis, and relational database design. Financial setting experience is preferred.
• Large Datasets: Skilled in processing and extracting value from large, disconnected datasets.
• Data Pipelines: Experienced in designing and optimizing data pipelines and architectures.
• Python Proficiency: Expertise in building data ingestion tools using Python, including web scraping and external APIs, and proficient in Python data science packages (numpy, pandas, scikit-learn, nltk, TensorFlow, matplotlib, etc.).
• Machine Learning: Proficient in Machine Learning, NLP, or deep learning using Python.
• PySpark: Experienced in working with PySpark.
• ETL/ELT: Experienced in ELT/ETL development and handling unstructured datasets.
• Data Warehousing: Knowledgeable in data warehousing and multidimensional data models.
• Rapid Prototyping: Experienced in rapid prototyping and fast solution delivery processes.
• Analytics: Skilled in working with large datasets to generate complex analytics for actionable insights.
• Collaboration: Effective in collaborating across disciplines, departments, and segments.
• Documentation: Experienced in developing and maintaining ETL-related artifacts such as schemas, data dictionaries, and transforms.

Desirable Skills:

• ETL/ELT Development: Proficient in ELT/ETL development.
