We are connected to those who hire talent and are in need of AI Data Engineers.

In this work, you help employers solve complex problems and bring real value through hands-on expertise in data engineering for AI systems, retrieval pipelines, and context delivery.

Where Your Expertise Makes an Impact

• Build the ingestion, chunking, embedding, and indexing pipelines that feed retrieval-augmented AI applications
• Model and govern unstructured and semi-structured company data so AI systems return accurate, permissioned results
• Develop batch and streaming pipelines with tools such as dbt, Airflow, Spark, Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery
• Tune retrieval quality through chunking strategy, hybrid search, reranking, and metadata filtering
• Establish data quality checks, lineage, and refresh cadence so downstream AI output stays trustworthy

What Stands Out Among Top Talent

• 5+ years in data engineering with production pipelines running at scale
• Strong SQL and Python plus hands-on work with a modern warehouse or lakehouse platform
• Practical experience with vector databases such as Pinecone, pgvector, Weaviate, or Elasticsearch
• Understanding of access control, PII handling, and data residency in AI use cases
• Ability to diagnose why a retrieval system returns poor answers and fix the data behind it

Why Join Workerbee

• Earlier visibility into opportunities
• Better-fit introductions
• Access to meaningful work
• Less application noise
• A network that improves over time
