What you'll own in this role

Core responsibilities this discipline prepares you for.

1

Build embedding pipelines

โ€” ingest, chunk, embed, and store in vector databases

  • Select and benchmark embedding models across OpenAI and Gemini for domain-specific accuracy
  • Implement chunking strategies (fixed, semantic, recursive) with batch embedding generation
  • Build complete pipelines processing thousands of documents into pgvector with HNSW indexing
2

Design RAG data infrastructure

โ€” hybrid search and reranking

  • Build BM25 + semantic hybrid search with LLM-as-reranker patterns using Gemini
  • Implement semantic caching for throughput optimization and query result deduplication
  • Construct hybrid search pipelines and benchmark retrieval quality with RAGAS precision-recall metrics
3

Build knowledge graph pipelines

using Neo4j

  • Extract entities from unstructured text and construct knowledge graphs with relationship typing
  • Implement GraphRAG patterns and agentic Graph-RAG with MCP tool integration for graph traversal
  • Build knowledge graphs from document corpora and query them with graph-aware retrieval agents
4

Process documents at scale

โ€” parsing, chunking, and quality filtering

  • Process multi-format documents with Docling across PDF, HTML, and Office formats
  • Apply intelligent context-preserving chunking and GPU-accelerated curation with NeMo Curator
  • Build document processing pipelines that handle real-world messy data with quality filtering
5

Implement data quality controls

โ€” PII, dedup, compliance filtering

  • Integrate Presidio for PII detection with custom entity recognizers and deduplication strategies
  • Build compliance pipelines with content classification for regulated industries
  • Construct quality gates that block non-compliant documents from entering the embedding pipeline
6

Orchestrate data pipelines

with scheduling and failure recovery

  • Use Argo Workflows for Kubernetes-native pipeline orchestration with DVC data versioning
  • Build quality gates between pipeline stages with dead-letter queues and failure recovery patterns
  • Wire multi-stage pipelines with automatic retry, checkpoint recovery, and quality validation gates
7

Monitor pipeline health

โ€” freshness, quality scores, embedding drift

  • Instrument pipeline stages with OpenTelemetry and build Grafana dashboards for freshness and quality
  • Monitor retrieval quality continuously with RAGAS evaluation and embedding drift detection
  • Build monitoring for live pipelines that detects data quality degradation and triggers remediation
8

Design multi-tenant data isolation

for enterprise RAG

  • Build tenant-aware embedding pipelines with pgvector namespace isolation per customer
  • Implement row-level security for vector search with per-tenant quality monitoring
  • Verify tenant data isolation under concurrent multi-tenant queries with cross-tenant leakage tests
