📋 Description

• You bring deep expertise in knowledge representation, semantic systems, and applied AI, and you are energized by translating complex enterprise domains into structured, machine-understandable models. • You are comfortable working through ambiguity and building early systems that demonstrate clear value. • You own the enterprise knowledge model including entities, relationships, actions, constraints, and how they evolve over time. • You define and govern ontology standards, ensuring clear layering, reuse, and consistency across systems. • You provide technical leadership while remaining hands-on in semantic architecture and knowledge graph development. • You design and evolve enterprise knowledge graph platforms that integrate structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, enabling reasoning, inference, and contextual retrieval. • You design the underlying data and graph architecture, including ingestion pipelines, transformation and mapping, entity resolution, schema alignment, validation, and both batch and streaming updates. • You guide key technical decisions across ontology design, graph architecture, and AI integration, including trade-offs between materialized inference, constraint validation, and query-time reasoning at scale. • You partner closely with product and engineering to ensure models are practical, scalable, and aligned to real-world use cases. • You will mentor others and help build a culture of structured thinking, semantic clarity and innovation.

🎯 Requirements

• PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Representation, or a related field • Extensive experience modeling complex domains, with a track record of building enterprise ontologies and knowledge graph systems in production • Strong hands-on experience building prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and early semantic systems that demonstrate the value of structured knowledge • Deep expertise in ontology design and semantic modeling, including entities, relationships, constraints, and temporal or event-based modeling • Experience defining ontology governance, versioning, and lifecycle management, and driving reuse and alignment across domains • Ability to define long-term evolution strategies for the enterprise knowledge model and platform, balancing delivery with durable design • Experience applying research and emerging techniques in knowledge representation, semantic systems, or AI, with a track record of translating new concepts into practical, product-oriented solutions • Architect large-scale enterprise knowledge graphs that integrate structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data • Hands-on experience with knowledge graph platforms and pipelines, including designing, ingestion, transformation, entity resolution, schema/ontology alignment, validation and performance at scale • Drives the technical evaluation of emerging graph, semantic, and AI technologies with clear, defensible trade-off analysis • Understanding and familiarity of modern AI approaches such as agentic systems, LLMs, RAG, and explainable AI, with the ability to integrate structured knowledge effectively • Demonstrated ability to identify, evaluate, and apply emerging research and technologies in knowledge representation, semantic systems, and AI, translating them into scalable architecture patterns and product capabilities that enable reuse, composability, and extensibility across products • Strong technical judgment and the ability to evaluate emerging semantic, graph, and AI technologies • Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction across domains through expertise, credibility, and collaboration • Strong programming ability (e.g., Python) and experience with modern data, graph, and cloud platforms • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bring clarity and alignment to complex concepts.
