AI Data Engineer

We’re hiring an AI Data Engineer to turn 3D assets and visuals into high-quality datasets for next-gen AI in digital play. Own the full data pipeline and help build scalable, creative systems at the crossroads of AI, data, and fun

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and operate data ingestion pipelines for 3D assets, geometry, images, video, and scans.
• Build and optimize 3D asset preparation flows, including mesh cleanup, normalization, UVs/LODs, and voxel/point-cloud conversions.
• Implement labeling and QA workflows, manage external annotation vendors, and automate quality checks to ensure scalable, reliable datasets.
• Define schemas and metadata for digital assets, maintaining catalogues, lineage, and versioning to ensure reproducibility and governance.
• Enforce data quality, drift detection, and compliance (GDPR/COPPA), including watermarking and traceability to safeguard IP and user privacy.
• Collaborate with AI infrastructure engineers to optimize data storage and compute performance for large-scale processing.
• Work with AI engineers to define data specifications, support experimentation, and integrate active learning loops that improve AI models over time.

REQUIREMENTS

• 3 years of proven experience in data engineering for ML/AI, with strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and distributed data processing (e.g., PySpark).
• Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure), orchestration frameworks (e.g., Airflow), and ELT/ETL tools.
• Familiarity with 2D and 3D data formats (e.g., OBJ, FBX, glTF), point clouds, and large-scale computer vision datasets-or the ability to quickly upskill in 3D data workflows.
• Knowledge of data versioning and quality management tools (e.g., Git/Perforce, DVC) and structured storage systems (XML, JSON, databases).
• Strong understanding of privacy-by-design, security, and data compliance (GDPR/COPPA).
• A builder’s mindset-able to prototype quickly, iterate efficiently, and document clearly.
• High attention to detail, with commitment to brand integrity, safety, and privacy.
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills; comfortable collaborating with creative, technical, and legal teams.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with Blender scripting, photogrammetry, or NeRF dataset prep.
• Familiarity with Unity or Unreal Engine pipelines.
• Understanding of active learning or data augmentation for AI.

WHAT THEY OFFER:

• Hybrid work - 3 days/week from the office
• Employment contract in the UK
• Pension program, health and life insurance
• 25 vacation days
