Requirements
• The Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) is hiring a Senior Data Engineer to build the data infrastructure behind AI research agents that explore and reason over scholarly literature. You'll work on the Semantic Scholar corpus, expanding what it covers and improving the quality of what’s already there, and create the APIs and tooling that these agents rely on at scale. • This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and applied ML. You'll own pipelines, design schemas, and ship production services, but you'll also apply practical ML techniques (entity resolution, text classification, embedding-based similarity) to improve data quality and enrich metadata at scale, directly shaping what the agents can do. We're looking for a strong engineer who is comfortable across that full range. • Bachelor's degree and 8+ years of technical experience; relevant experience may substitute for education. • Strong Python engineering skills, especially for building and maintaining data pipelines • Experience with SQL and schema design in production settings (PostgreSQL preferred) • Familiarity with ML workflows (training classifiers, tuning models, deploying for inference), particularly for large-scale or ambiguous structured datasets • Comfortable working with structured data formats (XML/JSON/Parquet) and writing ETL code • Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow or similar) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, S3, Docker) • Strong communicator and a strong sense of ownership for results • Experience with author disambiguation, entity resolution, or record linkage problems • Experience applying vector-based similarity or topic modeling techniques to real-world corpora at scale • Exposure to citation networks or scholarly data systems (e.g., arXiv, OpenAlex, USPTO) • Familiarity with building APIs or data services consumed by automated or agent-based workflows • Physical Demands and Work Environment: • The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by a team member to successfully perform the essential functions of this position. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the functions. • Must be able to remain in a stationary position for long periods of time. • The ability to communicate information and ideas so others will understand. Must be able to exchange accurate information in these situations. • The ability to observe details at close range. • Can work under deadlines.
