Sr. Data Engineer AI ML

We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer AI/ML with deep expertise in knowledge base construction retrieval-augmented reasoning (RAQ/RAG) and Generative AI data pipelines to help enable Assents R&D toward Agentic AI systems.

In this role you will design build and maintain intelligent data infrastructures that supply context memory and reasoning capabilities to autonomous AI agents. Your work will connect structured and unstructured enterprise data into continuously updated knowledge graphs and vectorized stores that empower dynamic retrieval planning and decision-making.

You will collaborate with AI/ML engineers data scientists and product teams to create scalable auditable and high-fidelity data pipelines that feed both assistive and autonomous AI functions. This position is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of data engineering AI architecture and knowledge representation.

Key Requirements & Responsibilities 

• Design build and optimize data pipelines for Agentic and Generative AI systems enabling context retrieval multi-step reasoning and adaptive knowledge updates.

• Develop and manage knowledge bases vector stores and graph databases to organize and retrieve information across diverse regulatory product and supplier domains.

• Engineer retrieval-augmented reasoning (RAQ/RAG) pipelines integrating embedding generation contextual chunking and retrieval orchestration for LLM-driven agents.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with AI/ML MLOps Data and Product teams to define data ingestion transformation and retrieval strategies aligned with evolving AI agent capabilities.

• Implement and automate workflows for ingestion of structured and unstructured content (documents emails APIs metadata) into searchable continuously enriched data stores.

• Design feedback and reinforcement loops that allow AI agents to validate correct and refine their knowledge sources over time.

• Ensure data quality consistency and traceability through schema validation metadata tagging and lineage tracking within knowledge and vector systems.

• Integrate monitoring and observability to measure retrieval performance coverage and model-data alignment for deployed agents.

• Collaborate with data governance and security teams to enforce compliance access control and Responsible AI data handling standards.

• Document schemas pipelines and data models to ensure reproducibility knowledge sharing and long-term maintainability.

• Stay at the forefront of AI data innovation evaluating new technologies in graph reasoning embedding architectures autonomous data agents and memory frameworks.

• Be familiar with corporate security policies and follow the guidance set out by processes and procedures of Assent.

Qualifications :

We strongly value your talent energy and passion. It will also be valuable to Assent if you have the following qualifications

• 8 years of experience in data engineering or applied AI infrastructure with hands-on expertise in knowledge-centric or agentic AI systems.

• Proven experience building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and retrieval-augmented reasoning/querying (RAQ) data pipelines.

• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL with experience designing large-scale data processing and orchestration workflows (Airflow Prefect Step Functions or similar).

• Deep familiarity with vector databases (e.g. Weaviate Pinecone FAISS Elastic Vector Search Milvus) and graph databases (e.g. Neo4j AWS Neptune ArangoDB).

• Hands-on experience with embedding generation semantic indexing and context chunking for LLM retrieval and reasoning.

• Experience with agentic AI protocols and orchestration frameworks such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) LangChain Agents Semantic Kernel or DSPy LlamaIndex Agents or custom orchestration layers enabling seamless interaction between models tools and enterprise data sources.

• Knowledge of cloud data platforms (AWS preferred: S3 Glue Lambda ECS Athena Redshift) and infrastructure-as-code tools.

• Knowledge of data modeling schema design and indexing strategies for both relational and NoSQL systems.

• Understanding of LLM data workflows including prompt evaluation retrieval contexts and fine-tuning data preparation.
