Experience:

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong expertise in Python.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience developing graph-based applications, knowledge graphs, or graph data platforms 
  • Ideally, experience using knowledge graphs in AI/agentic applications to support graph or hybrid Graph-RAG retrieval 

Education:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Technical Skills:

  • Advanced proficiency in Python and libraries like NetworkX, Pandas, NumPy, or similar.
  • Strong understanding of graph data modeling, graph traversal, indexing, and query optimization.
  • Hands-on experience with a graph database such as Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, or Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Gremlin.
  • Proficiency in a graph query language such as Cypher, Gremlin, or SPARQL, with an understanding of property graph or RDF models.
  • Experience building data ingestion and transformation pipelines across structured and unstructured sources.
  • Familiarity with entity resolution, ontology design, data lineage, and graph data quality practices.
  • Familiarity with knowledge graphs in AI applications, including GraphRAG, hybrid graph and vector retrieval, or agent tools, is a plus.

Soft Skills:

  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain graph concepts and technical tradeoffs to nontechnical stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to data quality and system reliability.
  • Ability to own projects from design through deployment and collaborate across disciplines.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and evolving priorities in a fast-paced startup.

Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation: Tailored to your experience and skill set.
  • Flexible Work Arrangements: Hybrid working model for work-life balance.
  • Career Growth: Opportunities for professional development and technical leadership.
