WHAT COMPANIES LOOK FOR//JOB PROFILE SUMMARY

The AI Developer is the fastest-growing engineering profile across S&P 500 enterprises, positioned directly at the crossroads of software engineering and applied AI. Rather than training models from scratch, these engineers integrate Large Language Models (LLMs), build agentic workflows, and deploy production-grade RAG pipelines into products.

Companies look for solid software engineering skills in Python or TypeScript paired with the discipline to manage probabilistic systems: from automated evaluations (Evals) and guardrails to latency and cost control across AWS, GCP Vertex AI, and Azure.

WHAT COMPANIES LOOK FOR//JOB PROFILE SUMMARY

The Data Engineer builds and maintains the data foundations required by modern analytics and AI systems. Without dependable data ingestion, clean transformation pipelines, and rigorous observability, reporting and machine learning projects stall. This keeps Data Engineering among the most consistently recruited technical tracks.

Modern data engineering applies software best practices: writing clean Python and SQL, designing cloud data warehouses and lakehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks), and adopting table formats like Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake. Orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster), version control, and data contract enforcement are core requirements.
