- Design, build, and maintain the data and platform components of Riot's Enterprise AI ecosystem, contributing to reference architectures for RAG/agents (indexing, vector stores, caching) and orchestration frameworks.
- Contribute to conceptual and logical data models for enterprise domains and help connect those models to business capabilities, processes, and downstream applications.
- Design, build, and maintain data pipelines, transformations, integrations, and warehouse-oriented data products across enterprise platforms and data systems.
- Support reporting, analytics, and application capabilities by helping shape reliable data foundations and implementation patterns.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience delivering enterprise technology solutions).
- 8+ years of experience in enterprise applications, data engineering, or platform engineering spaces, including delivery of data and automation solutions at scale.
- Experience delivering AI (traditional or generative) or advanced agentic automation solutions at scale.
- Strong technical knowledge of orchestration platforms (Workato, n8n, Camunda) and AI platforms (e.g., Google Vertex/Agent Platform, Anthropic Claude Platform, OpenAI Platform) and their enterprise applications, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), as well as knowledge management, data governance, quality, and architecture in enterprise contexts.
- Hands-on experience building or supporting data pipelines and integrations across enterprise applications, APIs, middleware, and data platforms.
- Required hands-on experience with Databricks for developing, transforming, and operationalizing data workflows or warehouse-oriented solutions.
- Strong familiarity with data transformation and data warehousing methodologies, including dimensional modeling and medallion architecture patterns.
- Strong technical knowledge of enterprise platforms (e.g., Workday, ServiceNow, Coupa, Concur, Oracle, IronClad) and respective integration options.
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience supporting master data, reporting, analytics, or business intelligence use cases.
- Strong hands-on experience with Workato, including implementing agentic workflows and AI-powered operational analytics and automations.
- Familiarity with frameworks for agent development (e.g., LangChain, Pydantic AI) and orchestration platforms (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, Vertex AI Agent Builder, Microsoft AutoGen, or similar).
- Experience building or integrating enterprise knowledge search platforms (e.g., federated search, vector DBs, retrieval-augmented generation) for enterprise use cases.
- Experience with cloud data and application technologies such as AWS data services, dbt, or event-driven integration patterns.
- Experience leading change in complex organizations and mentoring teammates or helping less technical partners adopt better data and systems practices.
