Senior AI Data Engineer role at LSEG in Bengaluru – build AI pipelines for global financial markets.
Lead data engineering, ML infrastructure, and LLM integration for high‑throughput, low‑latency systems.
Role Overview:
We are looking for an exceptional AI/GenAI Data Engineer to join our AI Platform team — one of the most technically ambitious initiatives at LSEG. This is not a role to maintain legacy pipelines. You will design and build the systems that make AI possible at HR-market scale.
You will operate at the intersection of data engineering, machine learning infrastructure, and large language model applications. Your work will directly impact products used by the largest financial institutions in the world.
Key responsibilities:
- Design and operate high-throughput, low-latency data pipelines
- Build and maintain the feature stores, vector databases, and data layers that power production ML models and LLM-based applications across LSEG's product suite
- Architect SQL and NoSQL data systems to serve analytical and operational workloads with strict SLAs, and build real-time event streaming pipelines using Apache Kafka
- Implement Redis-based caching and pub/sub systems to support sub-millisecond data access for trading and analytics applications
- Build and deploy machine learning pipelines — from data preprocessing and feature engineering through model training, evaluation, and serving at scale
- Integrate and fine-tune large language models for different tasks
- Design and own CI/CD pipelines for data and ML systems, covering automated testing, model validation, and deployment automation
- Partner with Applied Research, Product Engineering, and Platform teams to translate AI research into reliable, production-grade systems
Must Have Skills:
LLM & Generative AI: Hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications using APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar providers. Experience with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, embedding models, vector stores, and frameworks such as LangChain or LlamaIndex. Familiarity with prompt engineering, LLM evaluation techniques, and fine-tuning is strongly preferred.
MCP (Model Context Protocol): Understanding of MCP primitives for tool invocation, context injection, and secure LLM-to-system interaction.
Machine Learning: Solid foundations in supervised and unsupervised machine learning using Scikit-learn, XGBoost, and PyTorch. You should have end-to-end ownership experience — from feature engineering and model training through evaluation, deployment, and production monitoring. Familiarity with MLflow or similar experiment tracking tools and an understanding of model drift detection are expected.
Programming — Python & Node.js: Strong Python is essential. You should be comfortable with async programming, writing production-grade APIs with FastAPI, data processing with Pandas and PySpark, and building clean, testable, well-documented code as a default. Node.js with TypeScript experience for event-driven backend services is a plus.
SQL — ClickHouse, PostgreSQL & Snowflake: Deep hands-on experience with at least two of ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake. You should be confident with complex query writing and optimisation, indexing strategies, partitioning, window functions, and understanding the trade-offs between OLTP and OLAP workloads. Experience with ClickHouse for high-performance analytical queries on time-series financial data is particularly valued.
NoSQL — Elasticsearch & Redis: Production experience with Elasticsearch for full-text search, aggregations, and log analytics — including index lifecycle management, mapping optimisation, and cluster configuration. Redis experience covering caching patterns, pub/sub messaging, Redis Streams, and session management in high-throughput environments.
Streaming — Apache Kafka: Hands-on experience with Apache Kafka for building real-time event streaming pipelines. You should be comfortable with producer/consumer patterns, topic partitioning, consumer group management, and Kafka Connect for data integration. Experience with Kafka Streams or processing financial market events (order flow, price ticks, corporate actions) in a low-latency production environment is a strong advantage.
CI/CD: Solid understanding of CI/CD principles with hands-on experience using GitHub Actions or Jenkins. You should be comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes, and writing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or Helm. The expectation is that you treat deployment pipelines as production code — automated testing, rollback strategies, and environment parity are non-negotiable.
Cloud — AWS: Primary cloud experience on AWS. You should have working knowledge of core data and compute services — S3, RDS, Redshift, Lambda, ECS/EKS, and SageMaker. Experience with cost optimisation and multi-region architecture design is a plus.
Qualifications:
7+ years of hands-on data engineering or ML engineering experience in production environments
Strong system design instincts — you consider failure modes, backpressure, and graceful degradation as first-class concerns
You default to observability — metrics, tracing, and alerts are built in before systems go live, not retrofitted after incidents
You write the runbook. On-call ownership is something you embrace, not avoid
Able to communicate technical trade-offs clearly to product managers, data scientists, and senior stakeholders
Experience mentoring junior engineers and conducting meaningful technical code reviews
Experience with HR data (time-series, tick data, reference data) is a significant advantage
Nice to have: (Review Certifications)
Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP Data Engineer)
Databricks or Spark-based certification
ML / AI certification
