About The Position

Our client is hiring a Data Product Engineer to build the data infrastructure and product layer that powers their AI platform.

You’ll work directly with customers to identify high-value data use cases, determine which external data sources matter most, and own the full path from raw source data to production-ready signals. The ideal candidate is someone who can build reliable data pipelines, think deeply about data quality, expose data through intuitive product surfaces, and create evaluation systems that ensure agents can produce accurate and trusted answers.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of experience in data engineering, product engineering, or software engineering
• Strong experience building production data pipelines and data products
• Ability to work directly with customers and translate business problems into technical systems
• Strong understanding of data ingestion, extraction, transformation, synthesis, and quality
• Experience working with messy external data sources
• Strong product instincts and the ability to build data systems that are useful to end users
• Experience building systems that support AI agents, LLMs, retrieval, or automated workflows
• Comfort creating evaluation frameworks for data quality, accuracy, and reliability
• Strong ownership mindset and ability to operate in an early-stage startup environment
• Clear communication skills and comfort working across customers, founders, and engineering

Nice To Haves

• Experience in insurance, fintech, financial services, legal data, compliance, or regulated industries

Responsibilities

• Work directly with customers to identify common, high-value insurance data use cases
• Determine which external data sources should be brought into the platform
• Build and maintain end-to-end data pipelines across ingestion, extraction, synthesis, and transformation
• Turn raw legal, financial, company, and insurance-related records into trusted production signals
• Expose data through product surfaces that are easy for AI agents and users to consume
• Build systems that help agents answer questions accurately using reliable data
• Create and maintain evaluation harnesses to measure data quality and agent reliability
• Partner closely with founders, customers, and technical teams to shape product direction
• Own core pieces of the data layer from scratch as an early engineering hire
• Build scalable foundations for a platform serving insurance teams in a massive market
