The posting

About Indicium AI

Indicium AI is trusted by the world's leading enterprises to deliver AI into production at scale. We are a global AI-native consultancy with proven experience across Financial Services, Energy & Utilities, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Retail & CPG, and Manufacturing. From strategy, to build, to business outcomes, we unlock value from AI with unmatched clarity, speed, and capability.

Powered by 600+ AI experts serving 50+ enterprise clients from 5 global locations, we work side-by-side with top partners - including Anthropic, Databricks, AWS, OpenAI, and Microsoft - to deliver modern AI with speed and measurable impact.

Opportunity

As a Principal Data Engineer at Indicium AI, you will join a team of AI and data practitioners delivering enterprise-grade information architecture for leading organisations across Europe. Working within complex client engagements, with a strong focus on Financial Services, you will lead data modelling and semantic architecture, shape data platform standards, and guide engineering teams in building AI-ready data products. This is an opportunity to operate as a true design authority, driving architectural rigour while making a measurable impact on clients' data strategies from day one.

Responsibilities

Data Modelling & Architecture

  • Lead and contribute to conceptual, logical, and physical data model design aligned to client architectures, translating business requirements into rigorous data structures in collaboration with engineering and domain teams.
  • Govern and maintain data models in appropriate tooling, enforcing naming conventions, domain standards, and versioning across source, integration, and consumption layers.
  • Define and steward canonical data entities and lineage, and guide teams on the design and effective use of semantic data models, including their application to agentic AI solutions.

Semantic & Knowledge Modelling

  • Design and maintain semantic models to support agentic-AI capabilities, integrating semantic layers with business glossaries, data catalogues, and lineage tooling.
  • Help develop ontologies, taxonomies, and controlled vocabularies underpinning enterprise metadata and search, and define semantic modelling standards and patterns to ensure consistent meaning, interoperability, and AI readiness across data products.
  • Guide and govern the creation of data domains aligned with the client's underlying business capabilities.

Data Engineering & Platforms

  • Design data product schemas across platforms including Azure, Snowflake, and Databricks, encompassing Delta Lake structures and interoperable patterns, and define architectural guardrails for performance, scalability, security, and cost efficiency.
  • Set design standards and review transformations and pipelines for compliance, embedding data contract standards and data quality frameworks across pipeline outputs.

Agentic AI & AI-Assisted Development

  • Leverage Snowflake Cortex, Databricks Genie, or equivalent tooling to help engineering teams deliver natural language query and LLM-augmented data products.
  • Utilise GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar AI coding assistants to accelerate modelling, documentation, and pipeline development.
  • Design and define a set of agentic skills that can be provided to implementation teams, and contribute to the firm's AI Champion network, evaluating emerging capabilities and advising on adoption.

Enterprise Architecture & Design Assurance

  • Act as a design authority for data architecture across teams and data domains, partnering with enterprise, security, and risk architecture to ensure data solutions align with broader technology and regulatory standards.
  • Provide early-stage architectural input to initiative discovery and solution design to reduce delivery risk.

Governance & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Present architecture decisions to senior stakeholders, architecture review boards, and regulatory audiences, and support regulatory compliance through robust lineage, metadata management, and data quality evidence.
  • Mentor junior architects and engineers within the Information Architecture community of practice.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
