Senior Data & AI Platform Engineer

Join our team as a Senior Data & AI Platform Engineer, where you'll play a crucial role in building innovative AI solutions for pet care. This individual contributor role will involve a split focus on data platform architecture and AI infrastructure. You'll be responsible for scaling our Snowflake environment, managing clinical data pipelines, and building backend runtime systems for our LLM features. You'll report directly to the VP of Data & AI and have the opportunity to mentor and set technical standards for the team.

• Co-owning and scaling the Snowflake environment, building semantic layers, and managing clinical data pipelines.
• Building the backend runtime systems that safely execute LLM features in production, including runtime guardrails for clinical AI.
• Setting the technical standard for the team, mentoring engineers on Python code quality, CI/CD workflows, and reliable system design.
• The instinct to manage cloud spend, warehouse performance, and data quality without being asked
• A default mindset geared toward systems architecture, API contracts, and failure modes
• 6+ years strong production Python and software-engineering fundamentals (typing, testing, code review, and automated deployment)
• 6+ years operating production data platforms with hands-on ownership of dbt + cloud-warehouses (Snowflake strongly preferred)
• People get better at their jobs working with you
• You've built backend infrastructure for production LLMs (e.g., observability frameworks, evaluation pipelines, or cost attribution)
• You have practical ML engineering experience
