Company mission
To revolutionize the AI industry by laying the foundation for the development of Super Intelligence (SI).
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Proven experience building connectors against enterprise systems (SQL/NoSQL databases, Salesforce, S3, REST/GraphQL APIs)
- Systems instinct to architect a platform primitive, not a one-off integration
- Familiarity with inference pipelines or ML-adjacent data preparation preferred
- Comfortable working in a startup environment with ambiguity and evolving requirements
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to design and build the connective tissue between real-world data systems and our AI platform. You will create scalable, reusable data connectors and transformation layers that make heterogeneous data sources usable for downstream inference
- This role sits at the intersection of distributed systems, data infrastructure and applied AI. This role will act in terms of platform primitives, not pipelines
- Design and build robust connectors across SQL / NoSQL databases, APIs (REST / GraphQL), SaaS platforms (e.g., CRM, storage systems)
- Interpret and model heterogeneous source schemas
- Transform raw source data into formats optimized for AI inference
- Work closely with ML, applied AI and forward deployed teams to define feature expectations
- Collaborate with infrastructure teams to design and ship hosted data pipelines
- Optimize for latency, consistency, and edge constraints
- Design resilient ingestion patterns for unreliable or rate-limited systems
- Build logging, monitoring and debuggability into all integrations
Our take
On a mission to democratize artificial intelligence, WebAI has built a decentralized development platform that minimizes the amount of data required to build AI models. This directly challenges the assumption that big data is intrinsic to AI, and enables for local, ownable and customizable models to be made.
The company's unified execution layer helps to streamline the training and deployment of models in a way which is both scalable and flexible. Enterprises can use their existing infrastructure to run powerful models while ensuring their data never leaves their devices. Plus, they can tailor each model to their needs with no coding needed.
WebAI believes that off-the-shelf AI models lack the flexibility and control required to be used in real-world tasks, which is what its platform helps to combat. This approach has attracted impressive investment that will be used to grow its development efforts and elevate its mission to democratize AI.
