About the Role
We’re seeking an experienced contractor to architect, build, and productionize GenAI data science workflows that transform enterprise data into actionable business intelligence. This role sits at the intersection of generative AI, data engineering, and business analytics, requiring both deep technical expertise and the ability to collaborate effectively with business stakeholders.
You’ll be working primarily on GenAI applications for sales intelligence, leveraging call transcripts and business data to deliver high-impact use cases in production.
What You’ll Do
GenAI Engineering & Production
- Design and implement end-to-end GenAI workflows that integrate enterprise data sources (accounting/finance systems, sales call transcripts, CRM data)
- Build and deploy agentic AI workflows using frameworks like LangGraph, LangChain, or similar orchestration tools
- Implement comprehensive observability, evaluation frameworks, and guardrails for production GenAI systems
- Establish best practices for prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and model selection
- Critically evaluate use cases to determine when GenAI is (and isn’t) the appropriate solution
Data Engineering & Architecture
- Design and implement data models including star schemas, slowly changing dimensions (SCD Type 2), and fact/dimension tables
- Write complex SQL queries to extract, transform, and analyze data from enterprise databases and data warehouses
- Build robust data pipelines using Apache Airflow for workflow orchestration
- Process and transform data using Python, pandas, and numpy
- Ensure data quality, governance, and compliance standards are met
Business Intelligence & Stakeholder Management
- Translate business requirements into technical solutions, particularly around sales metrics, KPIs, and performance analytics
- Work directly with business stakeholders to gather requirements, manage expectations, and communicate timelines
- Provide strategic guidance on what’s feasible, what’s valuable, and what trade-offs exist
- Deliver clear documentation and presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences

- Agentic AI: Demonstrated experience building multi-agent or agentic workflows using LangGraph or similar frameworks
- LLM Fundamentals: Strong understanding of how LLMs work, their capabilities and limitations, context windows, tokenization, embeddings, and fine-tuning
- AI-Assisted Development: Active user of GenAI coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Gemini Code Assist, etc.) with proven ability to accelerate development
- SQL Mastery: Expert-level SQL skills including complex joins, window functions, CTEs, query optimization, and performance tuning
- Data Engineering: Expert knowledge of dimensional modeling (star schemas, SCD Type 2), data warehouse concepts, and ETL/ELT patterns
- Python Stack: Advanced proficiency in Python, pandas, numpy, and related data science libraries
- Workflow Orchestration: Production experience with Apache Airflow or similar orchestration platforms
- Enterprise Data Integration: Experience working with structured data from ERP, CRM, and financial systems
Business & Domain Knowledge
