About the role

We're looking for an AI Data Lead who can own the full arc — from translating business problems into Data blueprints, to guiding delivery teams, to presenting the right data to senior stakeholders. Equal parts strategist, architect, and communicator.

What you'll do

Snowflake Architecture & Optimization

• Design and implement scalable, high-performance data architectures on Snowflake to support enterprise analytics, ML workloads, and Gen AI applications.
• Optimize data storage, compute usage, query performance, and cost efficiency across Snowflake environments.
• Establish architecture standards, best practices, and reusable patterns for data ingestion, transformation, and serving.

AI-Ready Data & Knowledge Architecture

• Architect end-to-end AI-ready data platforms — going beyond pipelines to design the full Knowledge Architecture: knowledge maps, multimodal data representation (Vector DBs, Knowledge Graphs), and context assembly strategies.
• Design data structures and retrieval mechanisms that directly power agentic AI behaviors, including context retrieval, memory, and reasoning workflows.
• Integrate feedback loops, evaluation frameworks, and observability layers to monitor and continuously improve AI system performance at the data layer.
• Build and manage vector stores, knowledge graphs, and hybrid retrieval systems to support LLM and RAG-based applications.

Semantic Layer & Data Modeling

• Design and implement robust semantic models and metrics layers that provide consistent, governed, and business-friendly data access across BI and AI tools.
• Develop dimensional and semantic data models that serve both traditional analytics and AI/ML consumption patterns.
• Own the abstraction of complex business logic into reusable semantic definitions, ensuring single source of truth across the organization.

Collaboration & Governance

• Partner closely with data scientists, AI engineers, and analysts to operationalize ML models and AI use cases on a solid data foundation.
• Ensure data governance, security, lineage, and compliance best practices are embedded into every layer of the data platform.
• Drive data cataloging and metadata management to improve discoverability and trust across data assets.

What we're looking for

Core Experience

• 10–12 years of hands-on experience in data engineering and architecture, with deep, proven expertise in Snowflake — not surface-level familiarity.
• Strong SQL, data modeling (dimensional and semantic), and ETL/ELT pipeline design skills with a track record of production-grade implementations.
• Demonstrated experience building and managing semantic layers and metrics frameworks (e.g., dbt Semantic Layer, Tableau, Power BI).
• Experience with modern data stack tools and orchestration frameworks (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Prefect).

AI & Knowledge Architecture — Must-Have

• Genuine, hands-on experience architecting AI-first data platforms — candidates must be able to speak in depth to design decisions, trade-offs, and real-world outcomes.
• Solid understanding of Knowledge Architecture thinking: knowledge maps, multimodal data representation, vector databases, knowledge graphs, and context assembly.
• Practical experience integrating feedback loops, evaluation pipelines, and observability mechanisms around agentic AI and context retrieval systems.
• Experience with Vector DB technologies (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector) and Knowledge Graph tools — ability to select and implement the right tool for the use case.
• Familiarity with LLMs, RAG architectures, and Gen AI application development is strongly preferred.

What Will Set You Apart

• You can articulate not just what you built, but why — the architectural reasoning, constraints navigated, and the downstream impact on AI application performance.
• You understand that the success of AI applications is fundamentally dependent on the quality and structure of the underlying data — and you architect accordingly.
• You are as comfortable discussing embedding strategies and retrieval latency as you are optimizing Snowflake clustering keys.
