We are looking for a highly skilled Data Engineer with strong expertise in modern data platforms, scalable data pipelines, and cloud ecosystems, along with exposure to generative AI technologies. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in building large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines, distributed data processing, and cloud-native architectures while also understanding GenAI/LLM-based systems such as RAG pipelines, vector databases, embeddings, and AI-powered analytics workflows. You will work closely with data engineers, AI/ML teams, product teams, and architects to build intelligent, scalable, and high-performance data solutions.
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable batch and real-time data pipelines.
- Build and optimize ETL/ELT workflows using PySpark, SQL, and cloud-native services.
- Work with structured and semi-structured datasets across lakehouse and warehouse environments.
- Develop data ingestion frameworks for multiple enterprise data sources.
- Optimize large-scale data processing and pipeline performance.
- Build reusable and scalable data engineering components and frameworks.
- Collaborate with analytics, AI/ML, and product teams for data-driven solutions.
- Ensure data quality, governance, monitoring, and observability standards.
- Work with cloud ecosystems such as AWS, Azure, Databricks, or GCP.
- Support deployment and orchestration workflows using CI/CD and automation tools.
- Contribute to AI-powered applications and GenAI-enabled analytics systems.
- Work with vector databases, embeddings, and document-processing pipelines for AI use cases.
Requirements:
- Strong hands-on experience in Python and SQL.
- Strong experience with PySpark and Databricks.
- Experience building scalable ETL/ELT and data pipelines.
- Good understanding of data warehousing and lakehouse concepts.
- Experience with AWS / Azure / GCP cloud platforms.
- Hands-on experience with distributed data processing systems.
- Experience with orchestration tools such as Airflow or similar schedulers.
- Strong understanding of data modeling, performance tuning, and optimization.
- Experience working with APIs, ingestion frameworks, and large datasets.
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
- Good understanding of CI/CD, Git, and deployment workflows.
Good to Have Skills:
- Experience with generative AI and LLM-based applications.
- Knowledge of RAG architectures and AI-powered search systems.
- Experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI APIs, or Hugging Face.
- Understanding of vector databases such as FAISS, Pinecone, ChromaDB, or Weaviate.
- Exposure to prompt engineering and AI orchestration workflows.
- Experience integrating AI/ML models into enterprise data platforms.
- Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and containerized deployments.
- Experience with streaming technologies such as Kafka or Event Hub.
Preferred Experience:
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering.
- Experience working on enterprise-scale analytics or AI platforms.
- Exposure to GenAI-enabled enterprise applications is a strong plus.
