We’re hiring an AI Data Engineer to turn 3D assets and visuals into high-quality datasets for next-gen AI in digital play. Own the full data pipeline and help build scalable, creative systems at the crossroads of AI, data, and fun


RESPONSIBILITIES


  • Design and operate data ingestion pipelines for 3D assets, geometry, images, video, and scans.
  • Build and optimize 3D asset preparation flows, including mesh cleanup, normalization, UVs/LODs, and voxel/point-cloud conversions.
  • Implement labeling and QA workflows, manage external annotation vendors, and automate quality checks to ensure scalable, reliable datasets.
  • Define schemas and metadata for digital assets, maintaining catalogues, lineage, and versioning to ensure reproducibility and governance.
  • Enforce data quality, drift detection, and compliance (GDPR/COPPA), including watermarking and traceability to safeguard IP and user privacy.
  • Collaborate with AI infrastructure engineers to optimize data storage and compute performance for large-scale processing.
  • Work with AI engineers to define data specifications, support experimentation, and integrate active learning loops that improve AI models over time.


REQUIREMENTS


  • 2 years of proven experience in data engineering for ML/AI, with strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and distributed data processing (e.g., PySpark).
  • Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure), orchestration frameworks (e.g., Airflow), and ELT/ETL tools.
  • Familiarity with 2D and 3D data formats (e.g., OBJ, FBX, glTF), point clouds, and large-scale computer vision datasets-or the ability to quickly upskill in 3D data workflows.
  • Knowledge of data versioning and quality management tools (e.g., Git/Perforce, DVC) and structured storage systems (XML, JSON, databases).
  • Strong understanding of privacy-by-design, security, and data compliance (GDPR/COPPA).
  • A builder’s mindset-able to prototype quickly, iterate efficiently, and document clearly.
  • High attention to detail, with commitment to brand integrity, safety, and privacy.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills; comfortable collaborating with creative, technical, and legal teams.


NICE TO HAVE


  • Experience with Blender scripting, photogrammetry, or NeRF dataset prep.
  • Familiarity with Unity or Unreal Engine pipelines.
  • Understanding of active learning or data augmentation for AI.


WHAT THEY OFFER:

  • Hybrid work - 3 days/week from the office
  • Employment contract in the UK
  • Pension program, health and life insurance
  • 25 vacation days
