Job Description

The CNPF Data & AI organisation is looking for a Director of Data Engineering (L5) to lead the strategy, architecture, and delivery of the data platform powering our analytics products and agentic AI applications across Small & Medium Enterprise (SME), Corporate Solution, Transfer Solution and Commercial Verticals. This is a senior, hands-on technical leadership role within Data & AI Product Enablement. The Director will own the data backbone that our LLM agents, MCP servers, and analytics products run on — making sure data is reliable, governed, retrievable in real time, and ready for AI consumption at production scale. The role works in close partnership with Applied AI, Product, and Architecture leadership.

Job Responsibility

  • Own the data engineering strategy and technical direction for CNPF, with a strong focus on enabling agentic AI and GenAI products in production
  • Architect and deliver the data foundations for multi-agent systems — including MCP servers exposing data and tools to agents, retrieval pipelines, vector stores, feature stores, and knowledge graphs
  • Lead the design of context-engineering infrastructure that lets agents reason over Mastercard data safely, with the right grounding, freshness, and access controls
  • Drive lakehouse, streaming, and event-driven platform design (Databricks, Spark, Kafka, Delta/Iceberg) to support both batch analytics and low-latency AI use cases
  • Ensure data systems meet Mastercard standards for governance, lineage, data quality, observability, and risk — including the additional requirements that come with AI consumption (PII handling, prompt/response logging, audit trails)
  • Set technical standards for how data products are exposed to agents and applications, including MCP design patterns, schema contracts, and tool interfaces
  • Partner with Applied AI on evaluation and runtime data needs — training sets, eval datasets, retrieval quality, and feedback loops
  • Stay hands-on enough to make sharp architectural calls, review designs, and unblock the team on hard problems
  • Guide a team of senior data engineers, providing technical direction and growing their capability over time

Requirements

  • Significant experience leading the design and delivery of large-scale data platforms in production
  • Deep expertise in distributed data processing and the modern data stack — Spark, Databricks, Kafka, dbt, Delta/Iceberg, and similar
  • Strong hands-on background in data architecture, modelling, streaming, and lakehouse design on AWS
  • Proven track record of taking data systems from concept to secure, scalable production
  • Solid grasp of data governance, lineage, quality, and observability frameworks
  • Excellent technical communication — able to align engineers, AI scientists, product managers, and executives
  • Comfortable operating as a player-coach: setting direction, reviewing designs, and going deep when needed

Nice to have

  • You have personally built data infrastructure that powers agentic AI in production — not just analytics dashboards
  • Hands-on experience designing and operating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, including authentication, tool exposure, schema design, and observability
  • Direct experience building the data layer for multi-agent systems — retrieval, memory, state management, long-running workflow data, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints
  • Strong familiarity with vector databases, hybrid retrieval (semantic + structured), and knowledge graph integration with LLMs
  • Practical understanding of LLMOps data needs — eval datasets, golden traces, prompt/response telemetry, and feedback capture
  • Experience designing real-time and event-driven systems that support low-latency agent decisioning
  • Sharp instincts for the trade-offs between batch and streaming, structured and unstructured, accuracy and cost — and how those decisions cascade into agent behaviour
  • Experience partnering with security and governance teams to ship AI-facing data products responsibly at enterprise scale

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • AI power user. You're already a power AI user in your day-to-day work—Metamate, Claude, Cursor, or whatever tools make you faster. You'll set an example for what "AI-native" looks like and help others get there
  • 0→1 builder experience You've built measurement systems from scratch in ambiguous spaces. You don't wait for requirements—you define them
  • Speed + rigor. You can move fast without being sloppy. You know when to be 60% right now vs. 95% right later
  • Executive communication. You'll regularly present to leadership. Your insights need to be crisp, actionable, and defensible
  • Cross-functional influence. You'll work across dozens of teams (EE, Security, CPP, DevInfra, and more). You need to drive alignment without authority
  • Honesty. Some AI initiatives won't work. Some claimed impact will be inflated. You'll need to call it like you perceive it
Job Responsibility

  • Firefighter Mode: Leadership asks "what's the ROI of [new AI tool]?" on Wednesday. You have an answer by Friday
  • A team claims their AI initiative saved 10,000 hours. You validate (or invalidate) it
  • You rapidly instrument, measure, and communicate whether it's working
  • You jump into whatever is urgent and ambiguous—and you close it
  • Systems Thinker Mode: Build measurement frameworks that work across wildly different AI tools and use cases (coding, analytics, recruiting, HR support, supply chain, finance and more)
  • Create the dashboards, workspaces, semantic models and self-serve layers that let stakeholders across the company understand progress without pinging you
  • Design and scale the data pipelines and instrumentation that capture agent telemetry, usage signals, and outcome metrics across a fragmented and fast-moving tool landscape
  • Shape the strategy for how we think about productivity, time savings, and quality improvements in an AI-augmented workforce
  • Influence how Analytics (and business functions) evolve their operating models, job profiles, and organization structures for the AI era

  • Expert-level, current proficiency in modern data engineering: Python, SQL, Spark, streaming frameworks (e.g., Kafka), orchestration tooling, and cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Azure) - able to write and review production code personally, not only at a conceptual level
  • Proven, personal experience developing and deploying machine learning models and generative AI/LLM applications into production - this should reflect direct authorship, not solely direction of others' work
  • Hands-on experience with MLOps tooling, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and model monitoring frameworks
  • Experience working across diverse, often messy enterprise data domains (financial, labor/workforce, IoT/sensor, employee activity, client/operational) preferred over deep specialization in any single domain
  • Demonstrated track record of delivering AI products that generated measurable business outcomes
  • Strong engineering leadership skills with experience building and scaling delivery-oriented technical teams - paired with a clear, recent record as a top individual technical contributor, not a manager who has drifted away from the technical work
  • Comfortable moving fluidly between hands-on building (coding, prototyping, debugging production issues) and strategic work (roadmaps, architecture decisions, executive communication)
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field

  • Write code, design model architectures, and personally develop and deploy machine learning models and generative AI applications (including LLM-based solutions), particularly for new or unproven use cases before delegating to the team
  • Stay hands-on in production: debug critical-path issues, review production-critical code and model logic, and remain a credible technical authority by virtue of doing the work, not just overseeing it
  • Define and execute the AI/ML roadmap for the line of business, identifying high-value use cases across the full data landscape — predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, workforce and labor optimization, financial and margin analytics, smart building performance, and intelligent client reporting
  • Provide overarching oversight and governance of enterprise data architecture standards, design patterns, and data modeling principles — ensuring all engineering solutions, vendor integrations, and AI workloads conform to the established framework
  • Review and approve solution designs across engineering, AI, and vendor deliverables for alignment with data architecture standards
  • serve as the senior technical authority for data design decisions
