  • Map source data to ontology models to hydrate structured and semi-structured data into Knowledge Graphs.
  • Develop data mapping and transformation workflows using R2RML or similar technologies.
  • Write and optimize SPARQL queries for graph loading, validation, and retrieval.
  • Build and maintain data ingestion pipelines that integrate data from various enterprise systems.
  • Design and optimize relational database schemas and queries to support ETL workflows.
  • Deploy and maintain vector database infrastructure for embedding storage and semantic retrieval.
  • Design and maintain scalable graph query APIs for internal application and product teams.
  • Own the containerization, deployment, and monitoring of graph services in cloud environments.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in Knowledge Graph data hydration and ontology-based data mapping using RDF and SPARQL.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience with R2RML or similar mapping frameworks for transforming relational data into graph models.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience with graph databases (e.g., Stardog, GraphWise, Neo4J) and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) including schema design and query optimization.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience deploying and operating vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, Qdrant) in production.
  • Minimum 5 years of proficiency in Python or Java for automation, integration, and designing REST APIs.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years work experience); Associate's degree requires minimum 6 years work experience.
