Senior Data Platform & AI Engineer (Startup Grinder)
Kloudgen Inc.
Austin, TX, United States
Company Description
Kloudgen is redefining enterprise intelligence.
Our flagship product, Semantiqa, is a groundbreaking Snowflake Native App that automates semantic modeling, knowledge graph creation, and AI readiness—all with a strict zero-egress architecture that keeps enterprise data entirely secure within the customer’s cloud boundary.
We are on the verge of explosive growth and taking off. We aren't looking for a corporate clock-puncher; we are looking for a foundational team member who wants to build a legacy, run fast, and share in the massive upside of our growth trajectory.
Role Description
We are seeking a relentless, high-powered Senior Data Platform & AI Engineer to fill a critical seat on our senior development team.
You will directly own the evolution of our native data architecture and AI capabilities.
This is a startup environment.
It requires a "grinder" mentality—someone who thrives under pressure, pivots quickly, embraces ambiguity, and possesses extreme ownership.
If you want a comfortable 9-to-5, this isn't it. If you want to solve deeply complex technical problems, ship code that matters every single day, and run with a lean, elite team, you've found your home.
Qualifications
- The Stack: Proven, deep hands-on experience building production-grade solutions using:
- Snowflake (Bonus points for Native App Framework, Snowpark, and Streamlit)
- Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and advanced cluster optimization)
- Python (Advanced engineering, data manipulation libraries, and AI/ML integration)
- AI Expertise: Practical experience implementing Snowflake Cortex AI (or similar LLM/RAG frameworks) for enterprise text, search, or metadata analysis.
- Startup DNA: A background in early-stage startups or a proven track record of operating successfully in high-pressure, fast-growth environments.
- The Mindset: A "get-it-done" attitude. You don't wait to be told what to do; you find the gaps, build the solutions, and maintain high standards under tight timelines.
- Experience: 5+ years in heavy data engineering, analytics infrastructure, or AI platform development.
