Job description

YOU ARE

You are a a strong individual contributor knowledge engineer growing into a team lead. You are well versed in the full knowledge graph development lifecycle. You formulate real-world problems into practical, efficient, scalable AI and Knowledge Graph solutions, working hands-on across the lifecycle from ingestion through modeling, curation, and deployment. You apply current methodologies, techniques, and algorithms with the right architecture, and begin to guide junior engineers on the project. You stay current with knowledge engineering, generative AI, LLM, and multi-modal models; look for opportunities to apply them to the problem at hand. You design, evaluate, and maintain ontologies as needed. You help articulate the value of generative AI and knowledge graph approaches for a given business problem. You share what they learn with the team. You collaborate with users, use case reps, engineers, architects, and UI designers to deliver their piece of an end-to-end solution.
