We are looking for a Forward Deployment Engineer specializing in Enterprise Knowledge Systems to help customers build intelligent enterprise knowledge ecosystems that power next-generation AI applications. You will work directly with clients to understand their business challenges, assess their knowledge landscape, and design production-ready solutions leveraging knowledge graphs, contextual data platforms, graph databases, GraphRAG, ontologies, and semantic technologies.

Key Responsibilities

Engage with customers to identify business challenges that can be solved through contextual AI and knowledge-driven architectures.

Assess enterprise knowledge assets, structured and unstructured data, taxonomies, metadata, and existing knowledge management capabilities.

Define roadmaps for building enterprise knowledge platforms that enable AI-native transformation.

Design, develop, and deploy production-ready enterprise knowledge systems and rapid Proofs of Value (PoVs).

Architect enterprise knowledge solutions using knowledge graphs, graph databases, semantic layers, ontologies, metadata management, and contextual data platforms.

Design GraphRAG, Hybrid RAG, Agentic RAG, and contextual retrieval architectures to improve AI reasoning, explainability, and accuracy.

Develop scalable ontologies, taxonomies, semantic models, and enterprise knowledge representations that evolve with business needs.

Integrate enterprise knowledge platforms with AI agents, LLMs, enterprise applications, and business workflows.

Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend the most appropriate architectures and engineering approaches for each customer.

Ensure solutions are secure by design, scalable, maintainable, explainable, and aligned with enterprise governance.

Requirements

5+ years of experience designing, building, and maintaining production-grade enterprise knowledge systems , with a strong focus on knowledge graphs, ontologies, and semantic technologies .

Proven experience delivering scalable, maintainable, and extensible knowledge graph solutions for enterprise applications.

Expertise in ontology engineering, semantic modeling, taxonomy design, and enterprise knowledge representation.

Deep understanding of graph databases, RDF, OWL, SPARQL, property graphs, linked data, and semantic interoperability.

Experience designing and implementing GraphRAG, Hybrid RAG, contextual retrieval, vector search, semantic search, and enterprise knowledge retrieval architectures.

Experience integrating enterprise knowledge systems with LLMs, AI agents, machine learning, generative AI, and enterprise applications.

Broad knowledge of modern AI, cloud, and enterprise technologies, with the ability to rapidly learn, evaluate, and adopt emerging technologies.

Experience with containerization, CI/CD, MLOps/LLMOps, observability, and secure-by-design engineering practices.

Demonstrated ability to leverage AI-assisted development and intelligent engineering tools to accelerate solution delivery.

Excellent consulting, communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills.

What Success Looks Like

You build enterprise knowledge systems that become strategic assets for the organization. Your knowledge graphs and ontologies are not prototypes—they are scalable, maintainable, and production-ready, supporting AI agents, GraphRAG, enterprise search, digital twins, and decision intelligence. You combine deep semantic expertise with customer-facing consulting skills to design innovative, customized solutions that deliver measurable business value while remaining technology-agnostic.
