Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop enterprise ontologies, taxonomies, and graph schemas representing complex business domains.
  • Architect, configure, monitor, and scale Amazon Neptune environments capable of handling billions of relationships.
  • Develop and optimize graph data models, queries, and performance tuning strategies using SPARQL and/or Gremlin.
  • Build and maintain data ingestion frameworks and ETL pipelines for graph-based applications.
  • Integrate knowledge graphs into GraphRAG pipelines to improve AI response accuracy, contextual grounding, and reduce hallucinations.
  • Partner with AI/ML teams to implement hybrid search solutions combining graph traversal capabilities with vector database technologies.
  • Develop scalable backend services and APIs supporting graph-powered applications.
  • Collaborate with architecture, engineering, and business teams to translate complex requirements into scalable graph solutions.
  • Ensure reliability, security, and performance of graph database infrastructure.
