Sr. Engineer, Data Governance & AI Enablement

Are you passionate about building the data foundations that power AI and analytics at scale? Our client is seeking a talented Senior Engineer to advance enterprise data governance and AI enablement practices-helping transform how data is trusted, understood, and used across the organization. In this role, you’ll shape the semantic layers, metadata ecosystems, and knowledge structures that make enterprise data smarter and more accessible for both people and AI-powered tools. If you thrive at the intersection of data engineering, governance, and emerging AI capabilities, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

As part of our process after applying, you may receive an invitation from our AI Recruiter Avery for a short conversation that lets you share more about your background beyond your resume. For questions, contact recruiting@itccorp.com .
