Develop Python-based parsers, transformers, and validation scripts that enforce schema conformance and content quality at scale
Collaborate directly with Instructional Designers and product teams to translate content authoring workflows into data engineering requirements
Build and maintain embedding and vector database pipelines that feed Kiddom’s AI-powered content features as they scale
Work in Git-based workflows — treating data artifacts with the same rigor as software: versioned, reviewed, and documented
What we're looking for
4+ years of data engineering experience with strong Python skills — you’ve written parsers, validators, and transformation scripts for real-world messy data
Schema design instincts — you think carefully about how data should be structured for downstream use, not just how to move it
Data quality mindset — you build validation and completeness checks in from the start, not as an afterthought
Cross-functional collaborator — comfortable working with non-engineers to define requirements and translate domain knowledge into data structures
Provisioning and monitoring of infrastructure for data systems, familiarity with IaC tools such as Terraform and Terragrunt
The data system operates, ECS, EKS clusters, provision lambdas and S3 buckets
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in CS or equivalent work experience
Nice to Have
Background in education, curriculum design, or ed-tech — understanding how instructional content is authored and structured is a genuine differentiator
Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector) or embedding pipeline tooling
Familiarity with agentic AI patterns or Model Context Protocol (MCP)
