AI​/ML Data Engineer

Position: AI/ML Data Engineer

Location:

Irving, TX
Job Type: Fulltime

Job Summary We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced AI/ML Data Engineer to join our innovative team. The ideal candidate will be instrumental in designing, developing, and maintaining robust data pipelines and infrastructure that power our AI and Machine Learning initiatives, with a critical focus on implementing and managing Model Context Protocol (MCP). This role requires a strong blend of data engineering expertise, a deep understanding of AI/ML fundamentals, and proficiency in modern software development practices.

You will work closely with data scientists, machine learning engineers, and product teams to translate complex data requirements into scalable, high-performance solutions, ensuring consistent and well-defined model contexts across the AI lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable and efficient data pipelines for AI/ML model training, evaluation, and deployment, integrating and enforcing Model Context Protocol (MCP) standards to ensure data consistency and model interpretability.
• Define, implement, and manage the Model Context Protocol, establishing clear standards for how data, metadata, and environmental parameters are structured and presented to AI/ML models during training, validation, and inference.
• Implement and optimize data storage solutions using relational and No
  
  SQL databases such as Postgre
  
  SQL and Mongo
  
  DB, considering how data contributes to and aligns with the defined Model Context Protocol.
• Develop and manage data ingestion and streaming processes using message queuing systems like Apache Kafka, ensuring that all data flows adhere to and provide necessary information for the Model Context Protocol.
• Apply advanced statistical and AI evaluation techniques, including regression, classification, information retrieval, power analysis, correlation, and statistical testing, utilizing and analyzing data within the established Model Context Protocol.
• Develop and deploy machine learning models and AI-driven applications using containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes), ensuring that model deployment and operational environments strictly conform to the Model Context Protocol.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, deployment, and monitoring of AI/ML systems using tools such as Jenkins, Tekton, and Harness, with a focus on validating and enforcing Model Context Protocol adherence at every stage.
• Ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of data infrastructure and AI/ML systems, particularly in maintaining the integrity and consistency of the Model Context Protocol across various environments.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand data needs and deliver robust data solutions, advocating for and implementing best practices for Model Context Protocol definition and usage.
• Stay abreast of the latest developments in AI/ML, data engineering, and data governance, especially concerning best practices for managing model context and reproducibility.
