Knowledge Engineer at BairesDev

In this role, you'll take the semantics currently living in the heads of BI and finance teams and turn them into an ontology and semantic layer that AI agents can reliably rely on, represented as code instead of remaining tribal knowledge. Working closely with data and AI engineers, you'll extract undocumented meaning from stakeholders and formalize it into a structured, queryable layer. This is your opportunity to bring genuine structure to organizational knowledge, building the semantic foundation that makes natural language queries across data warehouses actually work.

• Design ontologies and taxonomies over enterprise data.
• Model semantic layers to enable natural language query across warehouses.
• Build knowledge graphs applying graph theory principles.
• Elicit undocumented semantics from BI and finance stakeholders.
• Support data lineage and stewardship practices.
• Collaborate closely with data engineers, AI engineers, and internal teams.
