Description

Overview My client is looking for an ambitious and highly motivated Data Engineer to join a lean, elite AI team operating at the intersection of quantitative finance and cutting-edge technology. In this role, you will act as a strategic partner to investment teams, helping to transform their decision-making processes by building scalable data architectures for Generative AI. This is an embedded position where you will sit directly with the teams you support, gaining first-hand insight into their workflows. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between raw financial data and the firm’s GenAI platform, ensuring models are fed by robust, high-performance data pipelines. Responsibilities • Designing and building robust, scalable data pipelines and specialized workflows to power AI-driven investment solutions. • Embedding within investment teams to identify opportunities for AI integration, translating complex data challenges into technical realities. • Developing and promoting best practices for data engineering in an AI context, including the creation of shared libraries and feature stores. • Ensuring tangible impact by delivering systems that allow teams to maintain and utilize AI tools autonomously after the initial embedding phase. • Monitoring and optimizing AI data flows, ensuring the reliability and performance of existing systems while identifying enhancements for the core AI platform. Requirements • Broad technical expertise in data processing and a passion for staying current with the rapidly evolving Generative AI landscape. • A track record of high-value automation, with the ability to identify where data-driven AI can significantly improve business efficiency. • Exceptional interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to collaborate with both technical engineers and non-technical investment professionals. • A methodical approach to problem-solving, particularly when debugging complex, non-deterministic AI data outputs. • Proficiency in modern languages such as Python, C#, Scala, Java, or Go. • Experience with data storage and manipulation tools including SQL, Pandas/Polars, Snowflake, and Vector Databases. • Familiarity with the GenAI ecosystem, including frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex and model evaluation tools like MLFlow. • Knowledge of infrastructure and orchestration, specifically Docker, Kubernetes, and data tools like Airflow, Dagster, or DBT. Benefits • Competitive salary and performance-based bonus opportunities. • A collaborative, flat structure with a culture of constant learning and modern tech. • Direct exposure to the front-office environment and the firm's bottom line. • Smart offices, free food, and a commitment to professional skill development.
