About the role

  • Data Engineer designing and maintaining the data systems for Skiffra’s AI-native orchestration platform. Collaborating closely with product and engineering teams for data integration and system design.

Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain a robust semantic layer that translates raw database schemas into high-context metadata, allowing LLMs and autonomous agents to reason across enterprise data
  • Integrate ERPs, operational tools, and legacy systems into a clean, unified internal data layer that powers Skiffra’s orchestration engine
  • Design the schemas and data contracts consumed by LLMs and workflow engines to ensure predictable, high-fidelity inputs from varied, often "messy" sources
  • Ensure every data point carries the necessary lineage and metadata for an LLM to understand its business significance
  • Architect the end-to-end ingestion and normalization pipelines for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, transforming fragmented enterprise fragments into a high-fidelity stream for AI agents
  • Implement the monitoring, observability, and automated data quality gates necessary to ensure our orchestration engine doesn't act on stale or corrupted enterprise context
  • Partner closely with product and engineering to translate complex operational needs into scalable data systems
  • Operate with speed and rigor in environments where reliability matters

Requirements

  • 7+ years building production-grade data engineering or backend systems
  • Strong Python and SQL mastery
  • Experience with ETL/ELT pipelines and API-based integrations
  • Experience with cloud data infrastructure and streaming or event-driven systems
  • Ability to work independently and make sound technical tradeoffs
  • Proven track record building systems where data discovery and cataloging were core features
  • Ability to make sound technical tradeoffs and thrive in "zero-to-one" environments without a roadmap or perfect documentation

Benefits

  • health insurance
  • retirement plans
  • participation in the Company’s bonus and incentive programs
