Data Engineer -Software Engineer 3

Job Summary: 

• We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Data Engineer to join our data engineering team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in building scalable data pipelines using the AWS cloud stack and extensive hands-on experience with Snowflake. Proficiency in Python and SQL, along with graph and vector database technologies, is essential. 
• This role requires strong problem-solving abilities and a proactive mindset to deliver efficient, scalable, and reliable data solutions. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines on AWS using services such as S3, Glue, Lambda, Redshift, and EMR. 
• Build and optimize data warehousing solutions using Snowflake, including performance tuning and data modeling. 
• Write efficient and reusable code in Python and SQL for data transformation and processing. 
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, analysts, and business stakeholders, to understand data requirements. 
• Develop and optimize solutions using graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, Amazon Neptune), including query design and performance tuning. 
• Design, build, and operate vector database solutions (e.g., Milvus, Amazon OpenSearch) to support semantic search, recommendations, RAG, and AI-driven use cases. 
• Integrate vector databases with LLM-based applications and AI workflows. 
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve pipeline performance and reliability. 
• Ensure data quality, integrity, and security across all stages of the pipeline. 
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and continuous improvement initiatives. 

Required Qualifications 

• 5-8 years of experience in data engineering or related roles. 
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS cloud services, including data and AI workloads. 
• Deep understanding of Snowflake architecture, performance tuning, and best practices. 
• Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL for data pipelines, transformations, and services. 
• Strong understanding of graph and vector data modelling concepts and their practical applications. 
• Hands-on experience with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, Neptune) and vector databases (e.g., Milvus, Amazon OpenSearch). 
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and Git workflows. 
• Experience working with Azure DevOps (AzDO) boards for backlog management in Agile environments. 
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills. 
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities. 
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. 

Nice to Have skills 

• Knowledge of the NVIDIA ecosystem and its applications in data and AI. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience with orchestration tools such as AWS Step Functions. 
• Familiarity with data governance and compliance practices. 
• Exposure to real-time data processing frameworks (e.g., Kafka, Spark Streaming). 
• Mode detail on Knowledge Base 
• Experience designing and deploying data ingestion pipelines for unstructured sources such as PDFs, Word documents, and HTML files, including text extraction, chunking strategies, and embedding generation at scale. 
• Hands-on expertise with vector databases, specifically Milvus, covering schema design, indexing, and optimizing write performance for large-scale embedding ingestion pipelines. 
• Proficiency in building Knowledge Graph ingestion pipelines using Graph Databases — including entity extraction, relationship modelling, and populating nodes and attributes. 
• Strong pipeline engineering skills in Python and frameworks for orchestrating multi-stage document processing workflows, with experience deploying and monitoring these pipelines in production environments. 
• Bonus: Exposure to RAPIDS libraries (cuDF, cuML, cuGraph) or CUDA-based tooling for GPU accelerated data processing, enabling faster transformation and optimization during large-scale ingestion workflows.
