Build the systems that build the systems — join Smartsourcing as a Senior Data Engineer!Hi! We're Smartsourcing, and we're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our team full-time and onsite. This isn't a role about writing pipelines — it's about building the intelligent, deterministic frameworks that generate pipelines, with the guardrails to make sure AI-augmented output actually meets production standards. If you're the kind of engineer who gets excited about agentic systems, multi-agent orchestration, and data architecture that scales, you might be exactly who we're looking for.Where? JEG Tower, Archbishop Reyes, Corner Acacia St., Barangay Kamputhaw, Cebu City, 6000 CebuYour Role as a Senior Data EngineerAs a Senior Data Engineer for Agentic Workflows & Data Platforms, you'll be the architect behind the infrastructure that powers our data platform — designing multi-agent systems, enforcing rigorous quality gates, and driving the evolution of our Medallion and Kimball models toward modern, decentralized data ontologies. You'll work with minimal supervision, lead with conviction, and mentor the engineers around you.Key Responsibilities

Agentic Workflow Development

Architect and deploy multi-agent systems (using frameworks like LangGraph) to automate data pipeline design, data profiling, and semantic validation
Integrate LLMs and agentic tools such as Claude Code Skills and Agent Teams into CI/CD and data engineering workflows
Framework Engineering

Build and maintain highly opinionated, deterministic engineering templates that standardize data ingestion
Output declarative specification files rather than raw, unpredictable AI-generated code
Develop robust boilerplates and reusable, configuration-driven pipeline patterns to replace bespoke free-form Spark code
Deterministic Quality Gates

Implement strict, non-LLM validation loops (e.g., Python scripts checking for known code smells) to ensure AI-generated logic meets rigorous production standards before execution
Maintain and evolve validation frameworks as patterns change
Architecture Evolution

Drive data architecture evolution using local/cloud LLMs and agentic personas to accelerate ETL/ELT workflows
Manage current Medallion/Kimball models while preparing infrastructure for transition toward loosely connected, decentralized data ontologies
Design fault-tolerant and self-healing pipelines
Data Management & Modeling

Understand and continuously improve the business concepts behind database design, source systems, and data models used for reporting
Business Collaboration & Leadership

Work directly with seniors, team leaders, and managers to identify shortcomings in ETL and database technology and devise solutions
Mentor non-senior team members and support team leaders in supervising overall performance
Systems Auditing & Security

Conduct routine audits of data storage systems and databases to ensure security, accuracy, and efficiency
Apply secure data engineering best practices in line with ISO 27001:2022

What Makes You a Strong FitKnowledge, Experience, and Soft Skills

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Management, or equivalent work experience
5+ years of Data Engineering experience with deep expertise in Databricks/Microsoft Fabric and Delta Lake
Hands-on experience integrating LLMs and agentic frameworks into CI/CD and data engineering workflows
Strong understanding of dimensional modeling, Medallion architectures, and modern metadata management
High proficiency in Python and SQL
Experience applying software engineering best practices (test coverage, DRY principles, robust templating) to AI-augmented development
Strong critical thinker with a bias toward engineering rigor over hype
Confident communicator who can articulate technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
Collaborative team player with a genuine interest in mentoring junior engineers

Technical Skills

Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Delta Lake, and Azure Data Factory
Agentic AI frameworks such as Claude Code Skills, BMAD, or similar
Python for pipeline development, framework engineering, and automation
SQL — database design, stored procedures, functions, views
Data modeling: Kimball dimensional modeling and Medallion architecture
Data warehousing and Lakehouse patterns
CI/CD pipelines with integrated AI/LLM validation gates

Nice-to-Haves

Experience with Power BI or a similar BI/visualization tool
