You will work with large-scale structured and unstructured datasets, transforming raw documents and text into high-quality, validated data for AI model training. This role requires hands-on experience creating datasets from the ground up, developing scalable data workflows, and managing data processing in Azure environments. You will collaborate with data scientists and engineering partners to improve data quality, processing efficiency, and dataset reliability while ensuring data integrity, traceability, and security.
Design, develop, maintain, and optimize Python-based data pipelines for large-scale data ingestion, processing, and transformation.
Build datasets from the ground up by collecting, organizing, cleaning, validating, and preparing raw structured and unstructured data.
Develop workflows for OCR processing, text extraction, normalization, filtering, segmentation, and deduplication.
Execute and monitor large-scale batch processing jobs, troubleshoot failures, and implement automated retry and recovery mechanisms.
Develop automated data quality checks to identify missing or corrupted files, incomplete processing outputs, duplicate records, formatting issues, and metadata inconsistencies.
Prepare high-quality, training-ready datasets through data filtering, tokenization, text segmentation, and conversion into standardized formats.
Manage bulk data uploads, downloads, and synchronization between local processing environments and Azure storage platforms.
Maintain organized datasets with consistent naming conventions, metadata, version control, and source traceability.
Optimize data processing performance, memory utilization, storage efficiency, and cloud resource consumption.
Monitor dataset statistics, processing coverage, quality metrics, and exceptions while generating operational reports.
Collaborate with applied scientists and engineering teams to translate AI training requirements into scalable and repeatable data workflows.
Maintain documented, tested, and version-controlled code while following established data security and governance requirements.
5+ years of professional experience in data engineering, data pipeline development, or data science with substantial hands-on programming responsibilities.
