Job responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of 5 7 engineers across multiple workstreams, fostering a culture of innovation, ownership, and technical excellence.
• Set the technical vision and engineering roadmap for the Data Products platform, aligning with firmwide priorities.
• Drive cross-functional collaboration with platform teams, domain Data Product Owners, AI/ML teams and governance teams.
• Architect and own the end-to-end technical design of the Data Products Studio a scalable, enterprise-grade platform that orchestrates the discovery, design, build, and productionization of data products from the CCB Data Lake and Snowflake.
• Design the platform's AI/Agentic AI layer, leveraging intent agents, NLP Text-to-SQL, Knowledge Graphs (KAG), RAG, Vector Databases, and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication to enable intelligent, automated data product creation and natural language interaction with the data estate.
• Define the platform's integration architecture with various firmwide systems as appropriate.
• Establish and enforce architectural standards, design patterns, and engineering best practices across the team ensuring scalability, security, resilience, and maintainability.
• Lead the design and development of Agentic AI capabilities that power the Data Products Framework including autonomous discovery agents that profile and recommend data product candidates, design agents that auto-generate data contracts and schema recommendations, build agents that generate and optimize data pipelines, governance agents that auto-apply entitlements based on data classification, and quality agents that detect anomalies, drift, and trigger self-healing remediation.
• Architect the Agent-to-Agent communication layer enabling multi-agent orchestration across the data product lifecycle from discovery through productionization.
• Leverage RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and Vector Databases to enable contextual, knowledge-grounded AI interactions with metadata, lineage, and data catalog information.
• Implement NLP Text-to-SQL capabilities allowing business users to explore the CCB Data Lake and Snowflake using natural language, lowering the barrier to data product discovery.
