About the role

Senior Data & AI Platform Engineer at Dutch Vet transforming veterinary care through data platform architecture and AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities

Co-own our dbt + Snowflake platform (700+ models, Prefect, Fivetran)
Isolate warehouse workloads and safeguard model dependencies to catch upstream data failures before they break production features
Build the runtime guardrails for our clinical AI—strict payload validation, confidence thresholds, and fallback routing for LLM applications
Develop shared observability pipelines, prompt evaluation harnesses, and cost-tracking tooling for our LLM stack
Set the technical standard for the team, mentoring engineers on Python code quality, CI/CD workflows, and reliable system design

6+ years operating production data platforms with hands-on ownership of dbt + cloud-warehouses (Snowflake strongly preferred)
6+ years strong production Python and software-engineering fundamentals (typing, testing, code review, and automated deployment)
A default mindset geared toward systems architecture, API contracts, and failure modes
The instinct to manage cloud spend, warehouse performance, and data quality without being asked
People get better at their jobs working with you
**Even better**
You've built backend infrastructure for production LLMs (e.g., observability frameworks, evaluation pipelines, or cost attribution)
You have practical ML engineering experience
