AI Engineer - Casera

AI / Data Engineer

About the Role

We're seeking a highly skilled AI/Data Engineer to design, build, and optimize data pipelines, machine learning infrastructure, and intelligent applications that turn complex data into actionable insights. You'll collaborate closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and software developers to deploy scalable, production-ready AI systems and ensure data quality, observability, and performance across the stack.

Key Responsibilities

* Design and implement robust data ingestion and transformation pipelines (batch and streaming) using tools such as Airflow, Spark, Databricks, or AWS Glue.

* Develop and maintain ETL/ELT workflows for structured and unstructured data from multiple sources (APIs, event streams, databases, third-party services).

* Collaborate with data scientists to operationalize ML models, including feature engineering, model serving, and real-time inference pipelines.

* Deploy, monitor, and maintain machine learning models using MLflow, Sage Maker, Vertex AI, or similar frameworks.

* Implement MLOps best practices, including CI/CD for model retraining, versioning, and testing.

* Optimize performance and scalability of data storage solutions (e.g., Redshift, Big Query, Snowflake, or Delta Lake).

* Ensure data quality, lineage, and governance through monitoring, validation, and documentation.

* Contribute to infrastructure-as-code (IaC) setups for reproducible deployments using Terraform, CDK, or Cloud Formation.

* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support AI-driven analytics, dashboards, and decision intelligence applications.

Qualifications

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field.
● 5+ years of experience in data engineering, ML engineering, or backend systems.
● Strong programming skills in Python, SQL, Scala, Java or any OP languages.
● Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and their data/AI services.
● Experience with ML pipelines, including feature stores, model registries, and inference APIs.

* Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
● Solid understanding of data modeling, warehousing, and schema design.

* Knowledge of modern AI frameworks (PyTorch, Tensor Flow, scikit-learn) and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) is a plus.

* Understanding of data privacy, security, and compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, SOC
2) preferred.

Nice to Have

* Experience implementing LLM-powered systems (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, prompt optimization).

* Knowledge of real-time analytics and event-driven architectures (Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub).

* Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry).
● Contributions to open-source or AI research projects.

What We Offer

* Opportunity to build scalable AI systems that drive measurable business impact.
● Collaborative environment working alongside data scientists, ML researchers, and software engineers.

* Flexible hybrid/remote work culture.

* Competitive compensation, benefits, and growth opportunities.
