Summary
✨ AI‑Generated
Join a platform engineering team where data is a core input to next-generation AI training systems. You will build and evolve data infrastructure for interactive, resettable digital environments in which AI agents perform tasks, learn from failures, and improve. This senior role sits within software engineering and offers the opportunity to shape foundational data systems for sophisticated AI workflows.
Highlights
Senior platform-focused data engineering role at the intersection of software engineering and AI. Work on interactive, resettable digital environments that generate valuable data for training AI agents, with data engineering treated as a core part of the software platform rather than a separate analytics function.
Description
This role is with one of Dex's trusted partner companies.
We work closely with their teams to truly understand their culture, goals, and what they're looking for, so we can match you with the right opportunity and give you context about the role before you commit to a process.

The role
The next generation of AI learns through experience, not just static datasets.
This lab builds interactive, resettable digital environments where AI agents navigate software, complete tasks, fail, and improve.
Data here is a fundamental input to how those AI systems and training environments get built, not a supporting analytics function.
You'll join the Platform team, a data specialisation within software engineering, not a separate analytics silo.
This is end-to-end ownership: framing, architecture, implementation, and production operation for the core data problem.
You won't inherit a mature platform or be handed detailed specs; you'll shape foundational systems and own the outcomes.
The work
Design and build scalable systems for acquiring, ingesting, and integrating large, messy, and varied datasets.Develop robust validation, sanitisation, and PII-removal layers to ensure data safety and quality.Tackle complex data problems: duplication, corruption, inconsistent formats, and provenance.Make critical architectural decisions across storage, reliability, observability, security, and cost.Ensure reliable, high-quality data availability for AI training environment engineers.
What You Bring
Built and operated substantial production data systems end-to-end, owning architecture, implementation, and production behaviour.Strong software engineering fundamentals; deeply hands-on with code, beyond configuring tools.Experience with large, complex, or messy datasets (unstructured text, web, machine-generated data), and can articulate the challenges.Sound judgement across storage, processing, reliability, scalability, and cost; able to discuss trade-offs.Comfortable with cloud infrastructure and debugging complex production systems.
Why apply through Dex
This is a rare, high-impact role at a Confidential Company; opportunities like this are hard to find and often oversubscribed.
