Taipei, Taiwan

About The Role

We are looking for an AI Engineer (Data) to help build and scale AI-powered solutions that enhance how our teams access, analyze, and utilize data. As part of the Data team, you will develop agentic applications and AI-driven tools that leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve internal workflows, enable self-service analytics, and increase the impact of data across the organization.

In addition to building AI solutions, you will work closely with data analysts and engineers to design data architectures, prototype innovative use cases, and transform large-scale data into actionable insights that support strategic decision-making.

What You Will Do

  • Design, develop, and maintain AI agents that enable non-technical stakeholders to interact with data through natural language.
  • Build AI-powered knowledge retrieval and search systems using modern LLM technologies.
  • Develop internal AI tools, reusable agent components, MCP servers, workflow automations, and AI-assisted development utilities to improve team productivity.
  • Architect and optimize data structures and data warehouse access patterns to support efficient and reliable AI agent interactions.
  • Collaborate with data analysts and engineers to prototype, evaluate, and productionize AI-driven solutions.
  • Implement retrieval, context management, tool-calling, and multi-step reasoning workflows for agentic applications.
  • Establish evaluation, monitoring, and observability frameworks to measure the quality, reliability, and business impact of AI systems.
  • Partner with the Head of Data & AI to define success metrics and continuously improve AI products based on adoption, accuracy, efficiency, and business outcomes.

What We Are Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • 3-5 years of experience in Software Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, Data Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Hands-on experience building AI applications using LLMs, including agentic workflows, RAG systems, tool/function calling, context management, or autonomous agents.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience working with data warehouses, data pipelines, and modern data platforms.
  • Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack, Google ADK, or similar technologies.
  • Familiarity with modern LLM capabilities and trade-offs, including prompting, model selection, latency, cost optimization, reliability, and evaluation.
  • Experience implementing evaluation and monitoring frameworks for AI applications (e.g., RAGAS, LLM-as-a-Judge, automated quality assessments).
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

Nice To Have

  • Experience designing data architectures that support analytics, internal tooling, and AI-driven applications.
  • Familiarity with agentic protocols such as Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  • Experience with BigQuery, Tableau, dbt, Airflow, or similar data platforms and orchestration tools.
  • Knowledge of AI governance, security, and risk management, including PII protection, prompt injection mitigation, and model evaluation.
  • AI-native development mindset and experience using modern AI coding tools.
  • Experience building systems that integrate LLMs with structured and unstructured data workflows.
  • Professional working proficiency in English.
  • Experience in fintech, payments, blockchain, or cryptocurrency industries.

Such processing is legally permissible under the First Schedule, Part 3, Paragraph 10 of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) as necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller, which are the solicitation, evaluation, and selection of applicants for employment. You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you provide is accurate and complete. If you provide us with personal data relating to another individual (for example, as a referee or emergency contact), you represent and warrant that you have obtained that individual’s consent in accordance with applicable data protection laws (including the PDPA) for us to collect, use, and disclose their personal data for the purposes described above.

The Controller will ensure that such transfers are subject to arrangements that provide a standard of protection comparable to that under the PDPA.

In accordance with Section 25 of the PDPA, the Controller will cease to retain documents containing your personal data, or remove the means by which the data can be associated with you, as soon as it is no longer required for (a) the purposes for which it was collected, or (b) for legal or business purposes, including considering you for future opportunities. Under the PDPA, you have the right to request access to your personal data, to request that your personal data be rectified, and to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights or to withdraw your consent, you may contact the Controller’s data protection officer using the details above.

Please note that providing your personal data is necessary for us to evaluate your job application. If you do not provide the required personal data, or if you later withdraw your consent to its collection, use, or disclosure, the Controller will not be able to process your application, and your candidacy for employment will not be considered.
