TechTorchAI Software Data Engineer US
About TechTorch
TechTorch is a high-growth enterprise technology consultancy that partners with the world’s leading private equity-backed businesses. We deliver AI-powered solutions, accelerators, and data-driven transformation initiatives that drive measurable value at speed and scale.
Our mission is to redefine enterprise technology consulting for private equity. We combine the agility of a scale-up with the discipline and rigor demanded by the most sophisticated investors and operators.
TechTorch was founded by seasoned leaders — including former Bain consultants, CIOs, and tech executives — with deep expertise in technology, transformation, and value creation. We are not a typical startup. We were built to succeed and to deliver results that matter.
About the Team
TechTorch teams work at the intersection of custom software engineering, modern data platforms, and applied AI. We help private equity-backed companies modernize core systems, build new digital products, and deploy AI solutions that create measurable operational and commercial impact.
Our engineers collaborate across backend, frontend, data, and AI disciplines to deliver production-grade, scalable solutions — not demos or slideware.
About the Role
As an AI Software & Data Engineer, you will design and build full-stack software systems, data platforms, and AI-powered MVPs for TechTorch clients.
This role is ideal for someone who started in software engineering, developed strong full-stack capabilities, moved into data engineering and analytics, and now applies AI tools and techniques to solve real enterprise problems.
You will work end-to-end — from React/Next.js frontends, through backend development in Python and data pipelines, to AI model integration and deployment — owning solutions from concept through production.
What You’ll Do
Full-Stack Software Engineering
Design and build full-stack applications, including:
Frontend interfaces using React and Next.js
Backend services and APIs using Python and cloud-native patterns
Develop secure, scalable application logic that integrates with data platforms and enterprise systems
Implement CI/CD pipelines, testing, and production-readiness standards
Collaborate closely with product, data, and AI teams to deliver cohesive user experiences
Data Engineering
Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and ELT workflows
Model and manage data in modern data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, lakehouse architectures)
Ensure data quality, performance, and lineage across structured and semi-structured data
Enable analytics, reporting, and downstream AI use cases through well-designed data foundations
Applied AI & Prototyping
Build AI prototypes and MVPs end-to-end for clients — from data ingestion to user-facing experience
Integrate AI/ML capabilities into software and data workflows (e.g., NLP, document intelligence, classification, anomaly detection)
Leverage modern AI platforms and services such as AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, Snowflake Cortex, OpenAI
Support feature engineering, inference pipelines, and AI-enabled automation
Ensure AI solutions are observable, explainable, and suitable for enterprise and regulated environments
Who You Are
We’re looking for high-caliber professionals who meet the minimum requirements for the role and share our values and mindset.
