How can you contribute to the team?

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Enterprise Knowledge Graph Developer is a specialized data engineering and architecture role responsible for designing, building, and scaling the organization’s unified semantic data layer. This position bridges the gap between disparate enterprise data silos, relational systems, and downstream intelligent applications (including GenAI, LLM agents, and semantic search engine platforms) by structuring organizational data into a high-performance, interconnected graph network.

POSITION METADATA

Job Level: Senior / Lead Specialist

Reports To: Director of Data Engineering / Principal Architect

Core Focus: Ontology Design, Graph ETL, Semantic Linking

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Ontological Modeling & Schema Design

Collaborate with domain experts, business analysts, and data stewards to conceptualize, define, and build scalable enterprise ontologies and taxonomies.

Translate complex business rules and relationship constraints into formal semantic models using W3C standards (OWL, RDF, SHACL, SKOS)

Ensure semantic models remain highly modular, extensible, and integrated across multi-departmental business units.

Design, implement, and maintain scalable data pipelines (batch and real-time) to ingest, extract, transform, and map structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data into the centralized knowledge graph

Incorporate Entity Resolution, Record Linkage, and disambiguation algorithms to dynamically reconcile duplicate identities across disparate transactional systems

Construct robust mappings from relational DBs, data lakes, and document stores using declarative mapping languages (e.g., R2RML, RML).

Graph Database Management & Optimization

Administer, tune, and maintain distributed native graph databases (GraphDB, Neo4j, Neptune, AnzoGraph, or Stardog)

Write, test, and perform fine-grained optimization of complex, multi-hop semantic queries using SPARQL, Cypher, or Gremlin

Implement partitioning, sharding, caching, and index strategies to guarantee sub-second query execution for real-time upstream enterprise systems.

GenAI, LLM, and Agentic AI Enablement

Integrate the Enterprise Knowledge Graph with Large Language Model (LLM) frameworks to implement high-precision Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG).

Expose semantic layers via secure GraphQL or RESTful APIs to feed multi-agent autonomous frameworks, ensuring deterministic and highly contextual reasoning paths

Utilize graph analytics, embeddings, and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to drive advanced inferencing and recommendation capabilities.
