About the Role :

At 6sense, data powers our AI‑first products. We’re looking for a Software Engineer III - Data who builds scalable data pipelines and uses AI tools (prompting + vibe coding) as a daily productivity multiplier.

This is not an ML research role. AI here means using LLMs effectively to build faster and better data systems.

What You’ll Do

• Build and own large‑scale batch and streaming data pipelines.
• Write production‑grade code in Java and/or Python.
• Design and optimize high‑performance SQL on large datasets.
• Work with Spark, Hive, Presto, Kafka, or similar technologies.
• Own reliability, data quality, and pipeline SLAs end‑to‑end.

AI‑Enabled Engineering (Required)

• Use AI coding tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) for:

• • Writing/refactoring pipeline code

  • SQL generation and optimization

  • Debugging data and performance issues

  • Understanding schemas, logs, and legacy code

• Demonstrate strong prompting skills to guide LLMs effectively.
• Practice vibe coding responsibly—move fast, but validate correctness, performance, and security.

Collaboration & Platform :

• Build data consumed by analytics and AI‑powered product features.
• Partner with Data Science, Backend, and Platform teams.
• Work on AWS‑based data infrastructure (S3, EMR, Redshift, EC2).

What We’re Looking For :

• 4 - 7 years of data engineering experience.
• Strong skills in Python and SQL.
• Hands‑on experience with big‑data systems (Spark/Hive/Presto/Kafka).
• Practical, real‑world use of AI tools for engineering productivity.

Nice to Have :

• NoSQL / MPP databases
• Docker / Kubernetes
• Experience supporting AI‑ or LLM‑powered features

One Line Summary on Skills :

• Python + SQL + Spark/Hive/Presto/Kafka + AWS + AI coding tools (prompting & vibe coding).

Our Benefits: 

Full-time employees can take advantage of health coverage, paid parental leave, generous paid time-off and holidays, quarterly self-care days off, and stock options. We’ll make sure you have the equipment and support you need to work and connect with your teams, at home or in one of our offices. 

We have a growth mindset culture that is represented in all that we do, from onboarding through to numerous learning and development initiatives including access to our LinkedIn Learning platform. Employee well-being is also top of mind for us. We host quarterly wellness education sessions to encourage self care and personal growth. From wellness days to ERG-hosted events, we celebrate and energize all 6sense employees and their backgrounds.
