Description
We are seeking an experienced and passionate Senior Knowledge Graph Developer to design, build, and scale our enterprise knowledge graph initiatives. In this role, you will be the technical lead responsible for transforming complex, siloed data into an interconnected, semantic knowledge layer. You will bridge the gap between data engineering, ontology design, and AI/ML applications, ensuring our knowledge graphs are performant, governed, and instrumental in powering our next-generation AI and analytics solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Architecture & Design: Design and implement scalable, enterprise-grade knowledge graph schemas using property graph (e.g., Neo4j, TigerGraph) and/or RDF-based models.
- Ontology Engineering: Define and maintain formal ontologies, taxonomies, and semantic models that standardize business meaning and entity relationships across domains.
- Data Integration & Pipeline Development: Lead the development of robust ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest, transform, and map heterogeneous data sources (RDBMS, NoSQL, APIs, unstructured text) into the knowledge graph.
- Query & API Optimization: Develop, optimize, and maintain complex graph queries (Cypher, SPARQL, Gremlin). Design stable, high-performance APIs to expose graph data for downstream AI services and applications.
- AI/ML Integration: Collaborate with data science teams to integrate the knowledge graph with LLMs, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, graph embeddings, and other agentic frameworks to enhance reasoning and explainability.
- Governance & Performance: Establish best practices for graph data quality, lineage, access control, and metadata management. Monitor graph performance and optimize indexing and traversal strategies for production environments.
- Technical Leadership: Act as a subject matter expert and mentor for junior engineers. Drive adoption of graph technologies through documentation, code reviews, and community-of-practice contributions.
