Shield AI is seeking a Data Engineer to build the reliable, governed data foundation for Finance's next generation of planning and decision support.

  • Experience with cloud data platforms, orchestration, data modeling, and governed serving patterns.
  • Ability to design for observability, recoverability, security, and maintainability.
  • Proficiency with AI coding assistants and independent validation of generated work.
  • Practical experience enabling AI capabilities on enterprise data, ideally in Databricks; adjacent Snowflake Cortex or comparable experience is welcome.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration and production ownership.
  • Experience with Databricks, Delta Lake, cloud infrastructure, and deployment automation.
