Software Engineering Focus / Data Modeling / AI & Agentic Systems

Clear Fracture is building AI-driven data integration systems that enable organizations to connect, transform, and reason over complex data using agentic workflows. Our platform operates across cloud and on-prem environments and is designed to support multi-tenant, production-scale use cases.

We are looking for a Data Engineer who operates as a software engineer first, with strong experience in data modeling and data systems. You will play a key role in building the core data layer that powers our agentic platform—designing schemas, implementing data services, and enabling reliable, scalable data flows.

In addition to building core data infrastructure, you will also develop real use cases on the platform itself, helping shape how users interact with data. This includes designing data interfaces, abstractions, and tooling that make it easier to understand, model, and work with data across the system.

This is not a traditional ETL-only role. You will write production code, design systems, and help define how data is represented, accessed, and understood across the platform.

• Design and implement logical and physical data models for complex, evolving datasets.
• Define schemas and access patterns that support multi-tenant usage and application-level workflows.
• Balance normalization, performance, and flexibility across different storage systems.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to translate requirements into scalable data designs.

• Develop real-world data use cases on top of the platform to validate and extend its capabilities.
• Design and build data interfaces and abstractions that help users understand and work with data.
• Contribute to systems such as:
  • Data glossaries
  • Semantic layers
  • Metadata and schema discovery tools
• Help define how users explore, model, and interact with data within the platform.
• Translate complex data structures into intuitive, usable representations.

• Build backend services and APIs that expose and operate on data models.
• Implement data access layers that are reliable, maintainable, and performant.
• Contribute to core application architecture where data and services intersect.
• Write clean, testable, production-grade code.
• Design and implement pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and validating data.
• Support both batch and near-real-time processing workflows.
• Build systems that handle structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.

• Enable data flows that support AI-driven and agent-based workflows.
• Work with embeddings, context retrieval, and data representations used in modern AI systems.
• Help design systems that make data accessible and useful for autonomous agents.

• Implement validation, monitoring, and testing for data systems.
• Ensure correctness, consistency, and observability of data pipelines and services.
• Diagnose and resolve data-related issues in production environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 6+ years of professional experience in software engineering and/or data engineering roles.
• Due to the nature of the work, U.S. Citizenship and the ability to obtain a Secret Clearance are required.
• Strong programming skills in Python (or similar backend language).
• Experience designing and implementing data models for production systems, with advanced knowledge…
