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 contemporary 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 - Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI/data infrastructure projects - Collaborative, fast-paced environment - Competitive compensation and growth path into ML/AI architecture role
