We are solving hard problems across search, large language models, and large-scale infrastructure to make AI systems more reliable, transparent, and useful.
Our team includes engineers, researchers, product builders, and operators who care about solving meaningful problems and delivering real-world impact.

- Monitor pipeline performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure high data reliability and quality
- Implement data quality checks, validations, and alerting mechanisms across both ingestion and activation layers
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define data contracts and ensure consistency across systems

- Strong hands-on experience with Databricks, AWS (S3, Glue, Athena, EMR, etc.), and Kafka
- Proficiency in Python (PySpark) and SQL for large-scale data processing
- Experience building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines (DBT/Airflow or similar experience preferred)
- Experience with data ingestion tools such as Fivetran (or similar)
