Senior Data Engineer - AI

We're seeking a Senior Data Engineer to work across the full stack of Anaplan AI applications. You will build transformative AI capabilities from model integration and prompt engineering to data ingestion, transformation, storage, serving, and governance for our LLM‑based and agentic systems.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the data architecture, design, and deployment of scalable Generative AI and Machine Learning systems into production environments.
• Develop end‑to‑end GenAI features, including backend API services, model integration, model monitoring, evaluations, and deployments.
• Integrate and optimise LLMs for specific use cases in business planning, including prompt engineering and RAG implementation.
• Design and build the retrieval and knowledge layer powering our RAG and agentic workloads, such as vector databases, graph databases, knowledge graphs, hybrid search, and embedding pipelines.
• Help design the knowledge graph that captures the semantics of customer models, metrics, hierarchies, and relationships.
• Build the data plane for evaluation and continuous improvement, working with cutting‑edge conversational and agentic AI technologies.
• Engineer the feature and context pipelines that feed forecasting and anomaly‑detection models at customer scale, balancing batch and streaming patterns.
• Implement evaluation frameworks to measure and improve GenAI feature quality, including accuracy, latency, and user satisfaction metrics.

Skills & Qualifications

• Extensive data engineering experience delivering complex projects.
• Hands‑on experience building and shipping AI/ML products in production.
• Practical experience with LLM‑based systems: RAG architectures, embedding pipelines, prompt and response logging, and evaluation frameworks.
• Hands‑on expertise with vector databases, graph databases, and knowledge graphs.
• End‑to‑end exposure to the model development lifecycle, including training and deploying ML models in production.
• Solid knowledge of LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and conversational AI patterns.
• Strong expertise in MLOps and LLMOps, ensuring scalable, reliable, and monitorable model deployments.
• Proficiency in Python and modern software development practices (testing, code review, CI/CD).
• Hands‑on experience with cloud‑native ML infrastructure platforms.
• Knowledge of vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant) and embedding models.
• Experience with model serving frameworks (e.g., vLLM, TensorRT, Ray).
• Background in forecasting, planning, or analytics applications.
• Experience with A/B testing and experimentation frameworks for AI features.
• Experience with model observability tools (e.g., LangSmith, W&B, MLflow).
