The AI Data Engineer will lead the data architecture and engineering delivery that enables AI/ML/GenAI solutions, ensuring data is trusted, secure, observable, and scalable from ingestion through consumption. You will design and operationalize modern data and retrieval foundations to support LLM-powered applications (e.g., Claude, GPT/Codex, Gemini) including patterns such as RAG, embeddings, vector search, and governed access to structured and unstructured data.

You will manage day-to-day delivery with an onshore/offshore team, partnering with data science, ML engineering, and product stakeholders to translate use cases into production-ready pipelines and platforms with strong data governance, lineage, quality controls, and monitoring. This role blends hands-on technical leadership with delivery management and team development, driving consistent engineering standards and measurable outcomes in client environments.
