Overview

Sr Software Engineer role responsible for programming a component, feature and or feature set. Works independently, contributes to the immediate team and other teams across the business, and contributes to design discussions.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain backend services and data pipelines that supply relevant business context, metadata, and constraints to LLM applications.
• Help implement, update, and query domain ontologies and taxonomies using standards like RDF, OWL, or SPARQL under the guidance of senior architects.
• Write code to interact with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, AWS Neptune) to support semantic search and relationship mapping.
• Help build and optimize hybrid retrieval systems combining vector search (semantic similarity) with structured graph data for better LLM grounding.
• Write robust data ingestion and processing scripts to extract entities and relationships from various enterprise data sources.
• Partner with ML engineers, data scientists, and backend developers to integrate semantic components into production AI products.
• Write clean, testable, and well-documented code following best software engineering practices.

What you'll need

• 4–6 years of software development experience, with at least 1–2 years working on data-heavy applications, NLP, vector search, or semantic/graph technologies.
• Strong backend development skills in Python (preferred for AI workflows) and/or Java/TypeScript.
• Experience working with relational databases, with at least some exposure to NoSQL, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Qdrant), or graph databases (e.g., Neo4j).
• Familiarity with concepts like knowledge graphs, vector embeddings, prompt engineering, or semantic web standards (RDF/OWL).
• Eagerness to learn and work with ontology experts (an ontology expert is not expected).
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and microservices.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
