Description

  • Own the gold data layer by transforming silver tables into curated, semantically rich, documented gold datasets for AI development.
  • Reverse-engineer data semantics by working with product engineers, clinical experts, and workflow experts to understand how data is created and represented.
  • Bridge researcher needs with data design by translating AI applied research requirements into reusable gold data products and documentation.
  • Curate datasets across modalities, including structured tables, unstructured content, features, labels, and chunked/tagged data for different AI use cases.
  • Build reusable silver-to-gold data pipelines in Databricks/Spark as scheduled and observable workloads.
  • Automate data quality, filtering, synthesis, labeling, and weak supervision workflows for AI data preparation.
  • Maintain reproducible dataset snapshots, lineage, and semantic definitions for downstream AI R&D reuse.
  • Collaborate with AI researchers, data platform, product, clinical, and workflow teams throughout the R&D lifecycle.
  • Support model development, evaluation, experimentation, and operational sustaining across classical ML, generative AI, RAG, and agentic approaches.

  • Working knowledge of AI concepts such as embeddings, tokenization, feature engineering, point-in-time correctness, train/validation/test splits, and data drift.
  • Experience transforming unstructured data such as text, PDFs, transcripts, and logs into model-ready forms.
  • Familiarity with AI-friendly storage and formats such as Parquet and Hugging Face datasets, plus partitioning, sharding, and caching concepts.
  • Experience with data quality and synthesis techniques such as programmatic labeling, weak supervision, MinHash/LSH, and LLM-generated synthetic data.
  • Experience with pipeline orchestration and dataset versioning tools such as Airflow, Databricks Workflows, Dagster, Prefect, and Unity Catalog.
