Job Description

Principal AI Platform Engineer

Nextdata

• Design agentic data interfaces that let AI agents discover, understand, and safely use data products. • Build MCP-compatible endpoints, tools, and APIs for governed AI/data access. • Develop data agents that reason over metadata, semantics, contracts, policies, and data outputs. • Make data products AI-ready across SQL, documents, vectors, graphs, APIs, and semantic models. • Build safe query and action flows with access checks, policy enforcement, approvals, and audit trails. • Work on retrieval, semantic search, tool selection, context construction, and answer grounding. • Define reusable patterns for agent-readable metadata, structured outputs, observability, and evaluation. • Partner with product, engineering, and customer teams to turn enterprise AI/data use cases into product capabilities.

Job Requirements

  • Strong experience in data engineering, data platforms, distributed systems, or enterprise data infrastructure.
  • Practical experience building AI-enabled data systems, retrieval systems, semantic layers, or data agents.
  • Strong knowledge of SQL, APIs, documents, vector search, knowledge graphs, and metadata systems.
  • Experience with agentic interfaces, tool-calling, MCP or similar protocols, function calling, or AI backends.
  • Good understanding of governance: access control, policies, contracts, lineage, data quality, PII protection, and auditability.
  • Ability to build production systems that are safe, observable, testable, and reliable.
  • Strong Python skills and comfort working across backend services, data systems, APIs, and AI frameworks.
  • Product-minded judgment: you know the difference between a demo, a customer-specific workaround, and a reusable platform capability.
  • Comfort working in ambiguous areas where the patterns are still being defined.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Retirement plans
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development
