• Proficiency with Python or Java and observability tools.

Responsabilités

• Evolve and enhance the core platform for entity management and governance (types, attributes, cross-references, relationships).
• Build and improve NER pipelines using LLM-based models, gazetteers, pattern matching, and blacklists.
• Extend NER to new content types, including live-stream content.
• Improve search and entity discovery via entity resolution, personalized search, filtering, and relation navigation.
• Design and query graph-based relationship models to support traversal and visualization.
• Implement entity-level security and access controls across data retrieval and exploration.
• Onboard new data sources and support integrations with consuming applications.
• Translate business requirements into technical solutions and AI workflows; validate AI-generated code and designs.
