Data Engineer I

As a Data Engineer I at McKinsey & Company, you will play a key role in designing, building, and deploying scalable data pipelines and infrastructure that enable our analytics and AI solutions.

You will work closely with product managers, developers, asset owners, and client stakeholders to turn raw data into trusted, structured, and high-quality datasets used in decision-making and advanced analytics.

Your core responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: Developing robust, scalable data pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and storing data from multiple structured and unstructured sources using Python/SQL.

Creating and optimizing data models and data warehouses to support reporting, analytics, and application integration.

Working with cloud-based data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) to build modern, efficient, and secure data solutions.

Contributing to R&D projects and internal asset development.

Contributing to infrastructure automation and deployment pipelines using containerization and CI/CD tools.

Collaborating across disciplines to integrate data engineering best practices into broader analytical and generative AI (gen AI) workflows.

Supporting and maintaining data assets deployed in client environments with a focus on reliability, scalability, and performance.

Furthermore, you will be able to explore and contribute to solutions involving generative AI, such as vector embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and LLM-based prompting, especially as we integrate gen AI capabilities into our broader data ecosystem
