About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Architect for RAG: Design and scale the pipelines for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), transforming massive volumes of unstructured IT logs and documentation into optimized Vector Embeddings
Scale vector infrastructure: Responsible for the health and performance of our vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, or Weaviate), ensuring sub-second retrieval speeds for agentic reasoning loops
Engineer semantic layers: Move beyond simple ETL to build knowledge graphs and semantic layers that provide agents with the necessary context to navigate complex infrastructure puzzles
Automate data excellence: Build automated data guardrails to detect noise, bias, or PII (Personally Identifiable Information) before it reaches the model
Solve meaningful challenges: Serve as the bridge between raw, messy data sources and deep technical AI work, identifying and resolving quality issues at the source
Progress to production: Build, deploy, and maintain the CI/CD pipelines for our data infrastructure, ensuring that our context window remains fresh and reliable
