Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

Knowledge Graph & Graph RAG System Development

• Design and implement graph data models and schemas (ontologies) to represent complex relationships within the caregiving domain (e.g., members, conditions, risks, interventions).
• Build and maintain data ingestion pipelines to populate the knowledge graph from structured and unstructured sources.
• Develop, fine-tune, and deploy end-to-end Graph RAG systems that leverage our knowledge graph to provide contextually rich, accurate, and explainable responses for our AI assistant.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to seamlessly integrate the Graph RAG system into our AI product, ensuring it meets performance and scalability requirements.
  
  

Data Collection And Preprocessing

• Acquire, clean, and transform structured and unstructured data from various sources to feed both traditional ML models and the knowledge graph.
• Identify and address data quality issues, missing values, and outliers.
  
  

Exploratory Data Analysis And Modeling

• Perform exploratory data analysis to identify patterns, trends, and relationships within data sets.
• Design and implement statistical and machine learning models to solve complex business problems, complementing the Graph RAG system.
• Evaluate and optimize model performance using appropriate techniques and metrics.
  
  

Data Visualization And Storytelling

• Create compelling data visualizations and dashboards to effectively communicate findings and insights.
• Present complex analytical results and the value of our graph-based AI to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  
  

Qualifications

• Education: BS/MS in Computer Science, Data Science, another related discipline or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of related professional experience required.
• Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Python and SQL.
• Proven, hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems in a production environment.
• Deep expertise in graph database technologies (e.g., Neo4j, Neptune, TigerGraph) and graph data modeling/ontology design.
• Strong background in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate).
• Experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) and state-of-the-art NLP libraries and frameworks (e.g., Hugging Face, Transformers, LangChain, LlamaIndex).
• Expertise in machine learning algorithms, statistical modeling, and data mining techniques.
• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).
• Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and big data technologies.
• Strong knowledge of Data Warehousing (Snowflake) and Data Modeling techniques.
• A successful history of integrating source systems and building data pipelines, especially for complex AI systems.
• Self-directed and comfortable supporting the data needs of cross-functional teams, systems, and products in a high-pressure environment.
• Passion for learning & results-oriented.
