What you’ll do | Hei mahi

As a Data/AI/ML Engineer, you are responsible for building and maintaining next-generation data infrastructure, which involves designing scalable dimensional models and managing cloud platform environments. You will also implement agentic coding frameworks to automate development workflows and ensure high-quality, secure, and governed data outputs for downstream users and AI agents.

In this role, you will:

• Design Scalable Architectures: Architect clean, robust data environments using advanced dimensional modeling to serve both traditional analytics and LLM interpretability.
• Orchestrate End-to-End Pipelines: Build and support reliable, modular ingestion workflows that transform raw data into valuable, consumption-ready products.
• Own the Cloud Ecosystem: Lead our GCP and GitHub environments as a technical owner, managing everything from infrastructure-as-code to secure CI/CD pipelines.
• Drive AI-Powered Innovation: Integrate industry-leading AI tools (like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot) into daily workflows to accelerate development and boost code quality.
• Enable Autonomous Intelligence: Create APIs and data products that allow autonomous agents and conversational interfaces to seamlessly query and discover our platform.
• Champion Quality & Governance: Take full ownership of data integrity, enforcing rigorous code standards and monitoring to ensure a secure, high-performance platform.

Here are the key skills and experiences that will set you up for success in this role:

• Bring your deep expertise in relational design and dimensional modeling to build rock-solid foundations in our modern cloud data warehouse.
• Leverage your hands-on experience with agentic workflows and advanced coding assistants to push the boundaries of what our data platform can do.
