Junior AI Data Pipeline Engineer (Python/Linux/Java)
We are building ypipe.com, a cutting-edge local AI platform. We process large-scale text data and knowledge graphs to train specialized local AI models. We need a sharp, detail-oriented developer to run our server operations, debug code, and keep our data pipelines running smoothly without requiring daily intervention from the founders.
What You Will Do:
Run & Monitor Pipelines: Execute and monitor long-running Python data extraction scripts on headless Linux servers.
Debug & Fix: Troubleshoot runtime errors, missing dependencies, API connection timeouts, and JSON parsing issues.
Server Management: Manage Python virtual environments and ensure local database/API services are active and communicating properly.
Script Maintenance: Make light modifications to Python scripts to fix bugs, adjust data structures, or handle edge cases.
Who We Are Looking For:
No Moonlighters: This role requires responsive daily availability to check on servers and debug active pipelines. It is strictly not for individuals currently holding a full-time job. Ideal for university students or dedicated freelancers.
Strong experience with Python and debugging complex stack traces.
Highly comfortable navigating a headless Linux terminal (SSH, file permissions, background processes, bash commands).
Experience working with REST APIs, JSON data, and local server environments.
Proactive Problem Solver: When a script crashes, your first instinct is to read the error log and fix the logic, not wait for instructions.
Why Join Us?
You will get paid to work directly with the infrastructure of a modern AI startup, gaining hands-on experience in building and scaling real-world local AI data pipelines.
