Backend / Data Engineer — Pipeline & Data Architecture
We are engaging a
Senior Data Engineer
to design and build the data pipelines underpinning an AI-enabled delivery programme for one of our clients - a global leading strategy-led Tech consultancy for their technology build unit.
You will work within Palantir Foundry, building production-grade pipelines that directly support downstream AI applications.
What You'll Be Doing
-
Designing and building robust data pipelines using Foundry Transforms (Python / SQL)
-
Modelling data within Foundry's ontology layer (objects, relationships, properties)
-
Integrating data from external systems (APIs, batch ingestion, files)
-
Ensuring data quality, reliability, and lineage visibility
-
Structuring datasets for downstream application and AI consumption
-
Collaborating closely with AI engineers to align data outputs with usage needs
What We're Looking For
Must-Have
-
Strong experience designing and owning production data pipelines
-
Solid Python and/or SQL for data processing
-
Experience working with modern data platforms (e.g. Foundry, Databricks, Spark, dbt)
-
Good understanding of:
-
data modelling
-
pipeline reliability
-
data quality and governance
Strongly preferred:
-
Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry:
-
Transforms
-
dataset management
-
ontology modelling
Nice-to-have:
-
Experience supporting AI / LLM use cases
-
Familiarity with how data is consumed in LLM workflows
-
Experience with real-time or near-real-time pipelines
If you are experienced in designing data that
works reliably in production and is usable downstream (
not just pipelines that run), we want to hear from you.
