📋 Description

• Knowledge Graph Design & Construction: Architect and evolve per-tenant knowledge graph schemas, including entity resolution, temporal modeling, and ontology design tailored to sales execution domains. • Information Extraction: Architect NLP pipelines that extract structured knowledge from unstructured conversational and document data (sales calls, emails, CRM notes), including coreference resolution, relation extraction, and event detection. • Contextual Reasoning & Recommendation: Design reasoning and inference layers over the knowledge graph to power next-best-action suggestions, deal risk scoring, coaching recommendations, and competitive intelligence surfaces. • Representation Learning: Design and train graph-based models (GNNs, relational embeddings, link prediction) over heterogeneous, multi-relational graph structures to support downstream reasoning and retrieval tasks. Diagnose and address embedding quality issues including cold-start entities, and temporal drift. • Domain Modeling: Formalize sales execution concepts such as deal stages, buyer engagement patterns, rep behaviors, and account health, into structured representations that ground the platform's AI capabilities. Extract ontology structure. Lead ontology versioning and migration. • Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with engineering, product, and data teams to bring models from prototype to production, ensuring reliability and measurable impact at scale.

🎯 Requirements

• PhD in a relevant field such as Computer Science, NLP, Machine Learning, or a related discipline with a focus on knowledge representation and reasoning, information extraction and relationship extraction, graph neural networks, recommendation systems, or conversation AI and dialogue systems. • Strong engineering fundamentals. You can write production-quality code, not just prototype notebooks. Proficiency in Python; and graph databases or query languages (e.g., Neo4j, SPARQL, Cypher) is required. • Comfort with ambiguity. You can take a vague product goal and decompose it into concrete technical problems. You don't need a fully scoped spec to start making progress. • A track record of building things: whether that's research prototypes that went beyond the paper, open-source contributions, or side projects that required real systems thinking. You understand the gap between a research prototype and a reliable production system, such as monitoring, data drift, latency, and operational excellence. • Strong Ownership: Take end-to-end responsibility for research and model development initiatives, from problem formulation and data analysis through experimentation, production deployment, and ongoing performance monitoring, driving outcomes with minimal oversight. • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate research concepts into product impact for cross-functional audiences. • Experience mentoring or leading technical work. You've helped junior team members grow and have driven cross-team technical decisions.
