Job Description:
We're looking for an AI Data Engineer to design and build robust data pipelines that power AI/ML and GenAI applications. This role sits at the intersection of traditional data engineering and modern AI infrastructure — you'll be responsible for making data AI-ready, scalable, and production-grade.
Key Roles and Responsibilities
Design, build, and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines using Python, PySpark, and SQL
Develop and maintain scalable data pipelines on Databricks (Delta Lake, notebooks, workflows, cluster optimization)
Build data infrastructure to support AI/ML and GenAI use cases — including feature engineering, embeddings, and vector data pipelines
Prepare, clean, and structure data (structured & unstructured) for LLM/RAG-based applications
Collaborate with Data Scientists and ML Engineers to operationalize models and AI pipelines
Ensure data quality, governance, and performance across pipelines
Work with cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP) for data storage, compute, and orchestration
Optimize Spark jobs for performance and cost efficiency
Required Skills
3–6 years of experience in Data Engineering
Strong hands-on expertise in SQL and Python
Proficiency in PySpark for large-scale data processing
Working experience with Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, notebooks)
Exposure to AI/ML data pipelines — vector databases, embeddings, or RAG architecture is a plus
Experience with cloud data platforms (Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue, or equivalent)
Understanding of data modeling, warehousing, and pipeline orchestration (Airflow/ADF)
Familiarity with LLM ecosystems (LangChain, LlamaIndex) is an added advantage
Good to Have
Experience in BFSI or analytics-heavy domains
Exposure to MLOps tools and CI/CD for data pipelines
Knowledge of NoSQL/vector databases (Pinecone, FAISS, Chroma)
What We Offer
Chance to work on cutting-edge AI/data infrastructure projects
Collaborative, fast-paced environment
Competitive compensation and growth path into ML/AI architec
