Job Details:
We are looking for creative problem solvers with a passion for tackling tough customer problems involving data to serve as a Knowledge Enablement Engineer, evaluating, piloting, and then scaling the capability that makes our data findable, trustworthy, and usable — by people and by AI agents. If you're passionate about large initiatives at a scale that helps transform the lives of internal and external stakeholders, this is that kind of work
Our Data Science team is building the knowledge layer between our data and the people and agents who use it: metric definitions, semantics, dictionaries, and the surfaces that make them discoverable. The role calls for a proactive, end-to-end contributor who can evaluate existing capabilities, stand up a working pilot rather than an assessment, and carry a clear recommendation into adoption
How you will contribute
· Has autonomy to work collaboratively with the leaders in your space to drive the evaluation and rollout
· Makes and defends build-versus-adopt judgments — a recommendation to reuse is as valuable as one to build
· Sequences the rollout so each domain onboarded is a durable gain, and communicates progress and risks to stakeholders
· Uses independent judgment to provide insights, and communicates progress, trade-offs, and risks to stakeholders
· Collaborates closely with the hiring manager on review of design and requirements
Duties:
• Evaluate existing tools and platforms across semantics, context, and knowledge graphs, and assess our requirements against them
• Pilot the strongest option, determine how our existing semantic layer feeds into it, and deliver a working pilot with a clear recommendation
• Onboard domains onto the approach we adopt, expanding content coverage as you go
• Support alignment sessions so definitions are agreed before they are codified, and create playbooks so each domain onboards faster than the last
• Author the AI rules, skills, and files that make the layer usable by people and agents, integrating through code or configuration as needed
