The Opportunity

We’re hiring a hands-on Data & AI Engineer to work directly with business teams, delivering high-impact digital, automation, and AI solutions.

This is not a traditional back-end data role. You’ll be embedded within operational teams, identifying inefficiencies, shaping use cases, and building production-ready solutions that drive real business value.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design, build, and deploy data, automation, and AI solutions from concept to production
• Develop POCs, prototypes, and scalable solutions using Databricks and cloud platforms
• Work closely with business users to identify opportunities for automation and AI-driven improvements
• Translate complex workflows into practical, value-driven solutions
• Build solutions using a mix of:
• Data engineering (Python, SQL, Databricks)
• AI/GenAI (LLMs, agents, copilots, document automation)
• Automation tools (low-code or scripting where appropriate)
• Partner with stakeholders across business and technology to ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and compliant
• Operate in an Agile, fast-paced environment with a strong focus on delivery

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in data engineering, AI engineering, or similar hands-on roles
• Strong experience with:
• Experience in trading, commodities, or energy
• Databricks, Python, SQL
• Cloud platforms (Azure preferred)
• Experience building or working with AI/GenAI solutions (LLMs, copilots, agents, or similar)
• Ability to work closely with business stakeholders and translate problems into solutions
• Experience delivering end-to-end solutions (POC → production)
• Strong problem-solving mindset with a focus on impact and value

Nice to Have

• Exposure to tools such as:
• LangChain / LangGraph
• Databricks Mosaic AI
• Copilot Studio
• Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps)
• Experience in process automation or workflow optimization
• Familiarity with governance, risk, and compliance in data/AI solutions

Why This Role

• Work directly with business teams on high-impact, real-world problems
• Build solutions that go beyond dashboards, true AI, and automation use cases
• Be part of a long-term, strategic digital transformation program
• Blend data engineering, AI, and business problem-solving in one role
