• Coach and mentor a caseload of learners through 1:1 sessions and workshops • Teach practical data engineering concepts in a way that’s clear, relevant, and grounded in real‑world experience • Help learners design and build reliable, scalable, secure data solutions - not just working code • Guide learners through assessments and portfolios with high standards and supportive feedback • Model strong professional judgement around performance, cost, security, privacy, and ethics

• Design, build, and maintain efficient data pipelines (ETL processes) to integrate data from various source systems into the data warehouse. • Develop and optimize data warehouse schemas and tables to support analytics and reporting needs. • Write and refine complex SQL queries and use scripting (e.g., Python) to transform and aggregate large datasets. • Implement data quality measures (such as validation checks and cleansing routines) to ensure data integrity and reliability. • Collaborate with data analysts, data scientists, and other engineers to understand data requirements and deliver appropriate solutions. • Document pipeline designs, data flows, and data definitions for transparency and future reference, adhering to team standards. • Handle multiple tasks or projects simultaneously, prioritizing work and communicating progress to stakeholders to meet deadlines.

Accountabilities - Own the Training Environment data architecture end-to-end: dataset design and schema for all ML training pipelines, including dialog corpora for LLM training, conversational steps for NLU models, annotated evaluation sets, and whole-call recordings for speech-to-speech model development. - Define and govern data selection and sampling strategy: establish criteria that determine which production conversations have the highest training value, including diversity-optimized sampling, confidence-based filtering, edge-case prioritization, and deduplication strategies. - Build and maintain the data catalog and dataset discovery infrastructure: enable ML engineers across LLM, NLU, Speech, and Agentic teams to find, understand, and use training data without friction. - Define annotation pipeline architecture: establish requirements for data labeling — intent annotation, entity tagging, dialog act classification, task completion scoring, and agentic reasoning evaluation — across internal annotators and external vendors. - Architect the data flywheel: the closed-loop system where real customer conversations feed back into training data collection, curation, annotation, model retraining, and evaluation. - Own and maintain data pipelines and infrastructure spanning Snowflake, AWS S3, ETL/ELT pipelines (Airflow), and integration with ML training workflows on AWS SageMaker. Key Responsibilities - Work directly with LLM, NLU, and Agentic systems teams to understand training data requirements — what conversational patterns improve zero-shot routing accuracy, what dialog structures train better task planners, what edge cases stress-test agentic reasoning — and translate these into concrete dataset specifications and pipeline configurations. - Define and maintain the data architecture for Omilia's Training Environment: schema design, data flow patterns from production (OCP) to centralized training infrastructure, storage strategy (Snowflake + S3), cross-pipeline consistency, and clear auditable data lineage, including anonymization requirements as part of the compliance layer. - Design data quality frameworks that directly improve model outcomes: content-based deduplication, diversity-maximizing sampling, confidence-based filtering using NLU scores and behavioral signals, and dedicated NLU improvement corpus extraction from low-confidence and no-match production data. - Define annotation requirements for ML model development — intent labeling guidelines, entity tagging schemas, dialog act classification, task completion scoring, and reasoning quality assessment — and design annotation workflows that produce consistent, high-quality labels at scale; evaluate and manage external data annotation vendors. - Build and maintain the data catalog that enables cross-team dataset discovery: document dataset contents, schemas, lineage, quality metrics, intended use cases, and known limitations; define the taxonomy for organizing training datasets across model types (LLM, S2S, NLU, ASR, TTS, agentic). - Architect the closed-loop data flywheel: production conversations → data selection → anonymization → curation → annotation → model training → evaluation → safe redeployment → back to production; define feedback mechanisms that route model failure cases into targeted training data collection. - Identify gaps in production training data and define requirements for external data acquisition (public datasets, synthetic data generation, vendor-sourced corpora); design data augmentation strategies for underrepresented languages, domains, or conversational patterns. - Work closely with LLM/NLU/S2S/ASR/TTS/VB Tech Leads and Senior Engineers to align data architecture with model training requirements; collaborate with Platform Engineering, Security & Compliance, and Product Management stakeholders. - Maintain comprehensive documentation of data architecture, dataset specifications, pipeline configurations, and data catalog; produce data architecture RFCs for significant changes and share best practices with ML teams.
