Responsabilità

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement the Strategy Knowledge Graph and its underlying schema.
• Build mechanisms to track how entities and relationships change over time.
• Set up a federated graph architecture that separates public knowledge from private client data.
• Define node and edge structures with essential metadata and provenance.
• Optimize graph queries and retrieval patterns for complex reasoning tasks.
• Manage and integrate multiple storage systems (graph, vector, metadata, documents, blobs).
• Maintain consistency across storage layers through event-driven synchronization.
• Build the hybrid retrieval API that unifies graph and vector results for the reasoning agents.
• Implement caching and partitioning strategies to ensure performance and multi-tenant scalability.
• Build ETL pipelines to ingest processed documents and transform them into graph entities and relationships.
• Implement data normalization, entity resolution, and incremental updates to keep the graph clean and scalable.
• Ensure data quality and temporal consistency across the knowledge base.
• Maintain full provenance so every fact is traceable to its source.
• Develop APIs (REST / GraphQL) for querying, updating, and interacting with the Knowledge Graph.
• Optimize database performance through indexing, caching, and query tuning.
• Implement access control, encryption, audit logging, and compliance mechanisms across the data layer.

Profilo

Experience & Background

• 3–6+ years of professional experience as a Data Engineer, Backend Engineer, or Knowledge Graph Engineer, working on production-grade data systems.

• Proven ability to design data models and schemas for complex domains, including entities, relationships, and metadata.
• Experience implementing ETL / ELT pipelines for structured and unstructured data, including incremental updates and backfills.
• Strong understanding of data consistency, versioning, and provenance in large-scale data systems.
• Experience integrating multiple storage systems (e.g., graph DB + relational DB + document store + object storage) into a coherent data platform.
• Practical experience building APIs for data access (REST and / or GraphQL) and integrating them into backend services.
• Familiarity with event‑driven architectures (e.g., message queues, streaming, async pipelines) for synchronizing distributed systems.
• Strong skills in Python, Java, or Scala for backend and data engineering workloads.
• Experience with query optimization, indexing strategies, caching, and partitioning for high‑performance data access.
• Understanding of security, access control, and data isolation in multi‑tenant SaaS platforms.
