Collaborate with the Staff Semantic Engineer and other senior engineers to standardize tooling, design patterns, and modeling approaches. Help define the technical direction for core semantic capabilities, ensuring scalable and robust solutions. Independently research, evaluate, and propose innovative solutions to complex and ambiguous technical challenges. Build and manage scalable knowledge graph solutions, including data ingestion, linking, and querying mechanisms. Write, test, and document clean, maintainable code, and apply automation to testing, integration, and deployment processes. Partner with product owners to refine features into actionable user stories that deliver business value. Evaluate and recommend external taxonomies and ontologies; author new ones as needed to support our domain. Recommend and implement semantic web tools, platforms, and technologies.
