A Global IT Service firm is looking for a Data Engineer for its AI & Data Division. This division is responsible for the AI products such as chatbots, voicebots, and copilot tools to support human operators.
You'll join a 60-person AI for Customer Service team of engineers, scientists, data analysts, and dialogue designers, responsible for modernizing legacy contact-center tooling and workloads into an agentic Generative AI stack. This role is responsible for the entire data backbone of a V1 product: pipelines, storage, and the data platform that our analysts and product managers will depend on from day one.

Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and own the data infrastructure for the V1 CCaaS product, from ingestion through serving, supporting the business unit's analytics needs
- Develop and operate production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines with orchestration tools, ingesting and transforming the large volumes of data generated by chatbot events and customer journey interactions
- Architect and optimize cloud data warehouse datasets across medallion-style layers (raw bronze, cleansed silver, aggregated gold), with partitioning, clustering, and SQL tuning for large-scale analytical workloads
- Design event-centric data models at session and turn grain that serve both operational features and analytical reporting, keeping the product's operational layer and analytical layer consistent
- Keep every pipeline reliably dependable in production through data quality checks, monitoring, and observability, so analysts and product managers can trust the numbers they see on dashboards
- Partner with Data Analysts and Product Managers to understand data needs. Requests typically start as one-off extractions and are iterated into scalable, reusable data products as demand grows or as they feed into the main pipeline
- Integrate real-time or near-real-time data streams as the product's event volume grows
- Establish data governance fundamentals: standardized event definitions, schemas, and naming conventions across all smart agents so their data stays comparable and combinable, plus documentation, lineage, and access control appropriate for an early-stage, fast-moving team

Required skills:
- Over 5 years of hands-on experience in data engineering, including building and operating production data pipelines
- Advanced SQL and strong proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python or Go
- Experience with cloud data warehouses such as BigQuery, Snowflake, or Databricks, including performance tuning at scale
- Experience with ETL/ELT orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow, dbt, or Google Cloud Dataflow
- Experience designing analytics data models and data marts (e.g., dimensional modeling, dbt or similar) across layered architectures (medallion bronze/silver/gold), owning their quality and documentation
- Familiarity with streaming technologies such as Kafka or Pub/Sub for real-time ingestion
- Experience building data infrastructure from scratch (greenfield or V1 product context) rather than only maintaining existing platforms
- Experience partnering with analysts, product managers, or engineers to deliver reliable, reusable data solutions
- Ability to design data solutions robust enough to absorb the ambiguity and changing requirements typical of V1 product development in a fast-paced, agile environment

Why should you apply:
- Great opportunity to be able to work for well-established company
- Cross-departmental communication is possible in an international environment
