Full Job Description

## Accountabilities Define and lead the end-to-end architecture for a modern data platform supporting Agentic AI, integrating structured, unstructured, and graph-based data systems. Design multi-tenant schemas and knowledge graph ontologies to enable advanced reasoning, contextual understanding, and cross-domain data retrieval for AI agents. Oversee performance, reliability, and security of large-scale data systems including Snowflake and Kinetica, ensuring high availability for mission-critical workloads. Serve as the primary technical advisor for clients, leading discovery workshops and aligning architectural decisions with business and AI strategy goals. Establish performance benchmarks for data latency, retrieval accuracy, and system scalability to support real-time agentic execution. Design and optimize advanced ETL/ELT pipelines, including streaming, batch, and CDC-based data ingestion strategies. Define and enforce database governance, including indexing, partitioning, resource optimization, and cloud-native scaling strategies. Collaborate on the design of API-first and tool-enabled data layers for integration with AI agents and LLM-based systems. Requirements: 10+ years of experience in data engineering, data architecture, or platform engineering roles within enterprise or AI-driven environments. Strong expertise in architecting hybrid data ecosystems using platforms such as Snowflake, Kinetica, NoSQL, and graph databases. Deep knowledge of knowledge graph design, including RDF or property graph modeling for enterprise-scale systems. Proven experience designing and optimizing ETL/ELT pipelines, including streaming, batch, and CDC architectures. Strong understanding of database internals, including indexing strategies, partitioning, scaling, and performance tuning in cloud environments. Experience building data platforms that support real-time analytics, AI/ML, or agent-based systems. Client-facing experience as a technical lead, including running workshops,
