Senior Data Engineer

We're hiring a Senior Data Engineer to own the quality control layer above our data annotation team. You'll sit at the intersection of data operations and AI model training — ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the structured data that powers Augrade's AI systems. This is a hands-on leadership role with direct impact on model performance.

Own the file submission and QC process for annotated construction data (CAD, BIM, MEP)

Review and validate outputs from junior annotators; enforce quality standards

Perform AutoCAD annotation and data labeling as needed (hands-on, not just oversight)

Collaborate with the CV/ML engineering team to close the gap between AI outputs (currently 80–90% accuracy) and production-ready data

Manage and mentor a team of data annotators; drive process improvements

Coordinate with engineering leads (Krish) before any major workflow or tooling decisions

7-12 years of experience in data engineering, BIM/CAD data operations, or a related field

Strong AutoCAD proficiency — this is the primary technical requirement

MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) knowledge

BIM and construction industry background

Some leadership or project management experience — you've owned a process or team before

Experience at companies like AECOM, Bentley Systems, Jacobs, or WSP

Familiarity with AI/ML data pipelines and human-in-the-loop validation workflows
