About the Role

Depending on your background and the project, you'll focus on one or both tracks:

Data Platform

• Architect end-to-end data platforms with robust data models to support analytical and operational use cases.

AI & LLM Applications

• Design and deploy LLM-based solutions

• RAG systems, Knowledge Graphs, or agentic workflows — using frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex.

• Evaluate and integrate new AI tools and models to improve reliability and performance at scale.

Across both tracks

• Work directly with clients to translate business needs into production-ready technical solutions.

• Write clean, maintainable Python and SQL, and communicate technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
