Qualifications - Demonstrated experience integrating data with Enterprise Search engines and AI agents, or RAG-based systems. - Practical experience preparing data specifically for consumption by Large Language Models and agentic orchestration tools. - 5+ years in data engineering, ETL development, or database management. - Strong experience building custom API connectors and data ingestion scripts. - Experience working with unstructured data (text, documents) and NLP concepts. - Strong proficiency in SQL and Python.
