AI Metadata Enrichment Pipeline Developer

Harper Adeyemi

Full-time · Job · New_York

About the role

We have 400 million data assets in our catalog — tables, columns, models, dashboards, pipelines — and about 15% of them have meaningful metadata: descriptions, owners, domain tags, quality scores, lineage. The other 85% are orphaned assets that data teams can't evaluate without opening the underlying data, which defeats the purpose of having a catalog. You'll build the metadata enrichment pipeline that automatically populates descriptions, infers domain tags, assigns likely owners based on access patterns, and computes quality signals for unannotated assets. This involves a mix of NLP for description generation from column names and sample data, classification models for domain tagging, and graph analysis for lineage inference. The data governance team is four engineers. You'll own the enrichment pipeline end-to-end: design, build, schedule with Airflow, and monitor output quality. The KPI is increasing the percentage of meaningfully documented assets from 15% to 60% within 12 months.

  • Build automated description generation for undocumented tables and columns
  • Develop domain classification models for asset tagging
  • Implement owner inference from access patterns and historical edits
