> Design, build, and operate core data services and pipelines powering AI products. Own end-to-end data ingestion, graph-based entity resolution, and APIs serving internal teams and external partners.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Architect and implement entity resolution logic to de-duplicate and link disparate data points into unified "Golden Records" for businesses and individuals
- Design and maintain a high-performance global business knowledge graph and ontology to map complex ownership chains, UBOs, and hidden risk relationships across international borders
- Implement a hybrid storage strategy that bridges graph databases for relationship mapping with document and search stores for rich metadata and adverse media content
- Optimize the platform for real-time risk assessment, ensuring the ability to traverse multiple levels of ownership in milliseconds to support automated "Go/No-Go" onboarding decisions
- Design and build scalable data services and APIs for ingesting, transforming, and serving data across the company
- Develop and maintain batch and streaming data pipelines using modern data processing frameworks and AWS cloud-native tooling
- Own the reliability, performance, and API-first data platform, including monitoring, alerting, and on-call where appropriate
- Implement best practices for data modeling, quality, lineage, and governance to ensure trustworthy, well-documented datasets
- Work closely with data scientists, analysts, and application engineers to understand their needs and translate them into robust platform capabilities
- Drive automation and standardization through CI/CD, model as a service, and reproducible environments
- Help define and evolve the architecture of the data platform as a true internal service with clear contracts, SLAs, and versioned APIs

## Requirements
- Expertise in Graph Ecosystems: Hands-on experience with Graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, AWS Neptune, or TigerGraph) and query languages like Cypher or Gremlin
- Identity & Linkage Mastery: Proven experience with Entity Resolution or Record Linkage (e.g., using tools like Senzing, Quantexa, or custom probabilistic matching models)
- Schema Design: Ability to design flexible ontologies that handle evolving regulatory data (e.g., changing PEP definitions or Sanction list formats)
- API Performance for Graphs: Experience building GraphQL or REST APIs specifically optimized for graph traversals and deep-tree lookups
- Experience building centralized data platforms or "data-as-a-service" offerings at scale (e.g., at a large tech or cloud-native company)
- Strong software engineering skills in at least one language commonly used for data and services (e.g., Python, Java, Go, Rust)
- Hands-on experience building data pipelines and ETL/ELT workflows on a major cloud provider (AWS preferred)
- Experience with modern data stack tools such as Spark/Flink, Kafka/Kinesis, Airflow/managed schedulers, and data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Databricks)
- Familiarity with DevOps practices: CI/CD, containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
- Strong focus on observability (metrics, logs, traces), resilience, and building early warning signals
- Comfort collaborating cross-functionally and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

## Nice to Have
- Background supporting machine learning or real-time decisioning use cases from a platform point of view
- Compliance Domain Knowledge: Understanding of AML, CTF, and KYC/KYB data structures (e.g., LEIs, ISO 20022)
- Geospatial Data: Experience handling global address normalization and geospatial indexing for risk detection
