AI Data Engineer

Job Description

Insight Global's client is seeking a highly skilled AI Data Engineer to join their Data Office AI Team. In this role, candidates will lead data strategy and execution for AI initiatives, focusing on the sourcing, enrichment, and optimization of data for Microsoft Azure-based AI systems. You will be the technical expert ensuring that data quality, structure, and metadata are optimized for high-performance search and retrieval-based AI (RAG).
While AI Engineers focus on model logic and prompting, this role will own the data foundation, building the automated pipelines and semantic structures that make enterprise AI effective. This role operates in a modern, AI-augmented development environment. Engineers are expected to leverage agentic coding tools (, Cursor, Claude, Copilot) to accelerate development, automate pipeline generation, and build self-improving data systems. Manual, static pipeline development is the exception and not the norm.
