The role requires strong data and software engineering fundamentals, combined with practical experience applying Generative AI and agentic technologies to enterprise use cases. The Senior Data Engineer will create and document technical designs, evaluate architectures and technology choices, build reusable services and data components, and contribute throughout the development and operational lifecycle.

The role also requires modern AI engineering fluency. Candidates should be comfortable using AI-assisted development environments, coding agents, enterprise copilots, and intelligent engineering tools throughout the software development lifecycle. This may include tools and capabilities such as Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio Agents, AI-assisted IDE workflows, autonomous coding agents, and enterprise AI platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

Data Engineering & Platform Development:

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable data platforms, pipelines, APIs, integrations, and backend services supporting Digital Marketing & Engagement solutions.
  • Build and operate secure, resilient, and observable systems supporting real-time, streaming, and batch processing workloads.
  • Develop reusable frameworks, services, and technical accelerators that improve platform capabilities, engineering efficiency, and scalability.
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, architecture, and business stakeholders to deliver high-quality technical solutions.

Generative AI & Agentic Solutions:

  • Build and integrate GenAI-powered applications, AI agents, and intelligent workflows that drive automation, personalization, insight generation, and productivity improvements.
  • Implement agentic architectures utilizing retrieval, tool calling, workflow orchestration, memory, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
  • Develop integrations with enterprise systems, APIs, data sources, and AI platforms using modern protocols and interoperability standards such as MCP.
  • Evaluate and continuously improve AI solution quality, reliability, safety, and effectiveness through testing, monitoring, and feedback mechanisms.

Responsible AI, Governance & Optimization:

  • Design and implement guardrails, governance controls, and security mechanisms for AI-powered applications and agents.
  • Establish controls to mitigate risks such as prompt injection, unauthorized data access, unsafe tool usage, hallucinations, and policy violations.
  • Optimize token usage, model selection, latency, throughput, and operational costs while maintaining solution quality and user experience.
  • Implement monitoring, observability, telemetry, and evaluation frameworks to support enterprise-grade AI operations.

AI-Assisted Engineering & Innovation:

  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools, coding agents, and intelligent engineering platforms throughout the software development lifecycle.
  • Validate AI-generated artifacts to ensure correctness, maintainability, security, compliance, and production readiness.
  • Drive adoption of modern engineering practices utilizing autonomous coding, automated testing, AI-assisted troubleshooting, and intelligent software delivery workflows.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, frameworks, and industry trends in data engineering, Generative AI, and agentic systems.

Visa requires at least 3 days in office, expectations of these days will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
