Data Engineer

Summary

We’re a small, cross-functional team focused on building AI systems that reason and code. We care deeply about understanding how people interact with these systems and how we can use data to make them safer, smarter, and more useful .

We're looking for a Data Engineer to build and own the pipelines and data infrastructure that power our product and research efforts. Your work will directly support model training, evaluation, product analytics, and safety systems. You’ll partner closely with team members building our coding agents to make sure we’re capturing the right signals and using them well.

If you’re excited about turning messy product data into actionable insights, and building systems that can scale with our research, we’d love to get connected!

Example Projects

• Combine synthetic data generation with human annotation platforms to produce high quality data that advances our product and research roadmap.
• Design and build resilient, scalable pipelines (ETL and ELT) for batch and streaming data.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure to support self-serve analytics, experimentation, and dataset generation. Prototype, evaluate, and make “build vs buy” decisions.
• Help define and improve data modeling practices across the company, including instrumentation standards, dimensional modeling for analytics and feature stores for machine learning (ML).
• Build integrations with ML infrastructure to support training pipelines, inference logging, and model monitoring (MLOps).
• Debug pipeline failures, automate deployment processes, and improve data quality and reusability.

How to apply

All submissions are reviewed by a person, so we encourage you to include notes on why you're interested in working with us. If you have any other work that you can showcase (open source code, side projects, etc.), certainly include it! We know that talent comes from many backgrounds, and we aim to build a team with diverse skillsets that spike strongly in different areas.

About us

Imbue builds AI systems that reason and code, enabling AI agents to accomplish larger goals and safely work in the real world. We train our own foundation models optimized for reasoning and prototype agents on top of these models. By using these agents extensively, we gain insights into improving both the capabilities of the underlying models and the interaction design for agents.

We aim to rekindle the dream of the
