Ever wanted to transform how the world sees and safeguards its waters? At Kohtari, that's Our Mission.
Our Vision: A world where every significant water body is digitally visible, understood and protected — ensuring resilient ecosystems, healthier communities and a thriving blue economy.
Our Purpose: To pioneer globally scalable solutions for the smart stewardship of our planet.
Kohtari is building a world's first multimodal AI foundation model for water quality intelligence — integrating drone, IoT, laboratory and many other datasets, we're helping water utilities move from reactive monitoring to predictive protection.
We're a Microsoft-aligned environmental intelligence company on a mission to make every significant water body digitally visible — protecting ecosystems, improving operational resilience, and restoring public trust in water.
The Role
We're looking for a hands-on Data & AI Product Engineer to build, test and refine our data pipelines and support rapid product delivery across our UIs. You'll work closely with the CTO and the wider team to turn raw environmental data into clean, reliable, well-documented 'gold' datasets that power the product.
What You'll Do
· Build solid ingestion patterns with orchestration, retries, idempotency and reproducibility.
· Create and refine Fabric notebooks and data pipelines to move data from bronze to gold.
· Implement data quality checks and monitoring so issues are resolved quickly
· Put cost and performance guardrails in place for Fabric workloads.
· Maintain clean, versioned gold tables and a single source of truth for consuming UIs.
· Support UI/product builds by exposing stable APIs and well-defined datasets.
About You
· Microsoft Fabric (data pipelines, notebooks, Spark, OneLake/Gen2 hierarchical storage, Parquet).
· Azure App Services / Web API patterns and Azure SQL.
· Python and FastAPI (or similar) for building data services.
· React / JavaScript / TypeScript for product-facing integration.
· Comfortable with JSON, OpenAPI, CSV and data interchange formats.
· Experience using modern AI tooling (e.g., OpenAI / ChatGPT, Anthropic) to accelerate delivery while maintaining engineering quality.
· Pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset with strong debugging and documentation habits.
