Requirements

  • Highly technical and hands-on experience architecting and building data lakehouses and AI agent platforms
  • Ability to write production code in languages such as Python, Terraform, SQL, etc
  • Strong architectural judgment to design core systems, scalable ingestion frameworks, storage/compute layers (e.g., Delta/Iceberg/Parquet), ETL pipelines (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Dagster), and AI agent platforms (including orchestration, tool-calling, multi-agent collaboration, memory/state systems)
  • Expertise in data sanitization, governance, lineage, privacy, metadata management, and ensuring data integrity
  • Experience building model training/evaluation pipelines, including fine-tuning, RAG, embeddings, quantization, inference optimization
  • Knowledge of distributed compute, GPU optimization, scalable model serving, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure management
  • Ability to design APIs, microservices, and platform components for enterprise-wide use
  • Proven ability to deliver projects on-time or ahead of schedule with high reliability and engineering rigor
  • Experience translating broad goals into architecture plans, milestones, and execution roadmaps
  • Desire and ability to hire and mentor a small team of high-potential engineers
  • Collaborative, driven, intellectually curious mindset with strong cross-functional teamwork and accountability

Responsibilities

  • Architect the enterprise data lakehouse spanning internal and external data sets
  • Design and build scalable ingestion frameworks for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data
  • Develop data sanitization and governance workflows to ensure ongoing data integrity
  • Implement storage and compute layers (e.g., Delta/Iceberg/Parquet) optimized for analytics, modeling, and AI agent workflows
  • Develop robust ETL pipelines using modern orchestration tools (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Dagster, Synapse/Fabric Pipelines, Databricks Workflows)
  • Establish data governance, lineage, privacy, and metadata management standards
  • Deliver high-throughput, low-latency pipelines supporting model training, inference, and orchestration
  • Architect and implement the company’s agent platform, including agent orchestration, tool-calling, multi-agent collaboration, memory/state systems, and workflow automation
  • Build, deploy, and manage agents of varying complexity (RAG bots, workflow agents, scientific analysis agents, multi-step business process agents) for internal, employee, customer, and partner use
  • Integrate observability, evaluation, and safety frameworks for agent reliability and performance
  • Develop the internal AI Hub for centralized management, versioning, monitoring, and governance of all agents
  • Write and review high-quality production code across languages and frameworks (Python, Terraform, SQL, etc.)
  • Build model training and evaluation pipelines, including fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, embeddings, quantization, and inference optimization
  • Implement distributed compute, GPU optimization, and scalable model serving environments
  • Manage cloud infrastructure using DevOps practices
  • Design APIs, microservices, and core platform components used across the organization
  • Translate broad goals into clear architecture plans, milestones, and execution roadmaps
  • Deliver projects on-time or ahead of schedule with high reliability and strong engineering rigor
  • Coordinate cross-functionally

Alamar Biosciences

Develops technology for protein detection and measurement

About Alamar Biosciences

Alamar Biosciences focuses on the study of proteins, known as proteomics, to enhance disease detection and treatment. The company has created NULISA™, a technology that can detect and measure proteins in the human body with high sensitivity and a wide range. This allows researchers and clinicians to profile clinically relevant protein biomarkers, which are essential for developing new diagnostic tests and treatments for various diseases. Alamar's ARGO™ system complements NULISA™ by providing a fully automated, high-throughput platform for precision proteomics. Unlike competitors, Alamar's technology simplifies the process, reducing the need for extensive technical expertise, making it more accessible to clients. The goal of Alamar Biosciences is to improve our understanding of proteins in health and disease, ultimately leading to better early detection and treatment options.
