Senior Engineer Data, AI & Analytics (Hybrid) | Senior Engineer Data, AI & Analytics (m/w/d) - Hybrid
Purpose Green
Job Summary
This is a critical, full-stack data role for a Senior Engineer responsible for taking complete ownership of the company's data and AI systems, spanning ingestion, modeling, embedding pipelines, and LLM-based applications. The successful candidate will operate with a dual mandate: building and scaling the AI-native data platform while helping to shape and lead the growing Data & AI team. Day-to-day tasks involve architecting and deploying AI-powered systems into production (e.g., RAG architectures using OpenSearch), optimizing agentic workflows, and extending LLM capabilities via supervised fine-tuning. Furthermore, the role requires building scalable ingestion and transformation pipelines using tools like Lambda and Glue, managing infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and maintaining the core data model using dbt Cloud. This position is attractive as it offers the opportunity to lay the technical and organizational foundation for a high-performing team within a fast-growing ClimateTech startup, requiring a strong balance between strategic design and hands-on coding.
