Job Description: We are looking for a Staff Data Platform Engineer to help define and build the data foundation of the AI Factory. The Data Platform provides a unifying, knowledge-graph-centered API layer for human and agentic workflows. It connects configurations, requirements, software versions, test executions, files, signals, training data, and results through stable identities and typed relationships. It also provides consistent access to the storage and compute systems behind those data products. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will design platform architecture, implement production software, evaluate storage and compute technologies, establish data-modeling patterns, and work directly with teams collecting and consuming mission-critical data. Success requires balancing developer productivity, semantic clarity, operational reliability, system performance, portability, and long-term maintainability.
