Responsibilities:
- Ontology & Taxonomy Design: Lead the creation, modeling, and evolution of enterprise-wide ontologies, taxonomies, and controlled vocabularies that accurately represent complex business domains.
- Knowledge Graph Architecture: Design and implement scalable architecture, ingestion pipelines, and governance for enterprise Knowledge Graphs (Triple Stores or Property Graphs).
- Semantic Layer Strategy: Build and maintain the enterprise semantic layer to abstract physical data complexities, providing a unified, machine-readable business view of data.
- Data Product Augmentation: Partner with domain data teams to map, link, and augment decentralized Data Products using the central ontology to ensure semantic interoperability across the organization.
- Inference & Reasoning: Implement semantic reasoning and inference rules to automatically generate new metadata and uncover hidden insights within the graph.
- Governance & Standards: Establish best practices, version control mechanisms, and data contracts for semantic models, ensuring consistent graph schema updates across business units.
Requirements
- Semantic Standards: Expert-level mastery of core semantic technologies
- Knowledge Graph Engineering: Hands-on experience designing and operating production-grade Graph Databases / Triple Stores (e.g., GraphDB, Stardog, Amazon Neptune, AllegroGraph, or Neo4j).
- Ontology Modeling Tools: Proficiency with industry-standard ontology engineering and taxonomy management software (e.g., Protégé, TopBraid Composer, PoolParty).
- Modern Data Frameworks: Clear, practical understanding of Data Mesh paradigms, specifically how to design a semantic layer that overlays federated, domain-driven Data Products.
- Traditional Data Modeling: Strong baseline in classic data concepts, including relational databases, dimensional modeling, and ETL/ELT integration patterns.
