About this role

Join us in a high-impact, high-visibility role where you will pioneer world-class Data & AI engineering solutions, building the next generation of intelligent, agent-driven systems that power real-time business decisions.
We are seeking an expert Lead Data & AI Engineer with 9 to 12+ years of experience to architect and deploy AI agents into business workflows, focusing on Databricks and AWS environments. You will lead data engineering, AI agent orchestration, and scalable, production-grade AI architectures.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architect and build reusable, metadata-driven data and AI engineering frameworks that standardize ingestion, transformation, feature engineering, and AI workflow deployment. Leverage Databricks, lakehouse architecture, declarative pipelines, and cloud-native services to enable scalable, governed, and reusable data products across the organization.

  • Architect and deploy Delta Live Tables and Lakeflow jobs on Databricks to automate data processing, AI pipelines, and agent data refresh cycles.

  • Leverage Databricks Workflows and Job Orchestration to schedule and monitor AI agent deployments across multiple business workflows.

  • Integrate Lakeflow for real-time data stream processing, ensuring AI agents are updated and responsive to live data.

  • Ensure seamless orchestration between AI models and data pipelines, using event-driven architectures for real-time inference and deployment.

  • Implement and orchestrate AI agents using frameworks such as Agentic systems, AgentOps tooling, and solutions like Agents on Databricks (Agent-bricks).

  • Hands-on experience deploying AI agents using RAG, Graph RAG, MCP-enabled integrations, and agent orchestration frameworks such as AgentOps, AgentBricks, LangGraph, or cloud-native orchestration services.

  • Manage AI agent lifecycles, monitoring, and scaling using tools like SageMaker, Bedrock, or AI orchestration frameworks on AWS.

  • Ensure robust data governance, metadata management, and AI observability through Unity Catalog, AWS Glue, or custom metadata layers.

  • Design for scalability and modularity, ensuring AI agents are reusable across multiple business processes.

Qualifications:

  • 9–12+ years in data engineering, specializing in AI deployment within cloud ecosystems (Databricks, AWS).

  • Hands-on experience deploying AI agents using frameworks like RAG, graph RAG, and orchestrating agents (AgentOps, Agent-bricks, etc.).

  • Proficient in AWS AI/ML services (SageMaker, Bedrock) and orchestration tools (MWAA, Step Functions).

  • Strong knowledge of lakehouse architecture, Unity Catalog, and data modeling best practices.

  • Deep experience in data orchestration, monitoring, and scalable AI-driven workflows.
