Job Description

About JSSI

Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Chicago, Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI) is the largest independent provider of hourly cost maintenance programs for business aviation. JSSI delivers comprehensive coverage for engines, airframes, and auxiliary power units (APUs) across more than 300 different aircraft makes and models, helping owners and operators stabilize maintenance budgets, maximize aircraft availability, and protect asset value throughout the lifecycle of ownership. JSSI has built a portfolio of complementary business lines designed to simplify the economic and technical complexity of business aviation; these include Maintenance teams, Traxxall maintenance tracking software, Parts & Engines, Conklin aircraft cost and performance data, and Aviation Capital asset-based financing solutions. Together, these offerings support owners, operators, and maintenance providers with integrated tools spanning ownership and maintenance planning, execution, and financial management. With more than 6,500 aircraft supported through programs and software platforms, JSSI leverages its unique independence, unmatched scale, and data-driven insight to deliver customized solutions and support models aligned to the interests of each client — regardless of aircraft platform. JSSI is backed by leading institutional investors GTCR, Genstar Capital, and Blackstone. Learn more at jetsupport.com.

JSSI is building an AI-first data platform, and the AI Data Engineer is the person who builds and owns it. You are the platform owner — responsible for the pipelines, the lakehouse, and the governed datasets that make AI and analytics possible across every JSSI business unit.

This is a hands-on, individual contributor role. You will design and build the data infrastructure that AI agents depend on, ensure data quality and governance are production-grade, and work at the intersection of data engineering and AI delivery. You will use Claude Code to build pipelines against JSSI standards and be a core part of how the organization accelerates.

Responsibilities

  • Own Bronze / Silver / Gold pipelines in Microsoft Fabric and OneLake
  • Model governed semantic layers; serve Power BI via Direct Lake
  • Ingest business-unit data into Fabric & Azure SQL with quality and lineage controls
  • Enforce data governance, security, and PII handling aligned to Entra ID
  • Expose curated datasets to AI agents through approved MCP servers only
  • Use Claude Code to build pipelines against JSSI standards; review and validate all AI-generated code before it ships
  • Orchestrate, monitor, and optimize pipelines for reliability, performance, and Fabric capacity (CU) cost
  • Manage Git-based version control and Fabric deployment pipelines across dev / test / prod
  • Handle ad-hoc requests (report enhancements and fixes, and dataset enhancements and fixes) across Microsoft Fabric and Power BI
  • Build and maintain paginated (operational) reports
  • Write, debug, and tune SQL for reporting, data investigation, and fixes
  • Use Claude Code to investigate and diagnose platform, data-quality, and reporting issues, tracing root cause across pipelines, lake house tables, and semantic models before drafting a validated fix
  • Support and optimize Power BI semantic models and DAX for downstream consumers
