About the Role

As an AI Engineer, you will own the AI and data layer of the platform, designing and implementing the knowledge graph architecture, building agentic pipelines for AI web research, and developing the graph interrogation layer to translate natural language compliance questions into structured graph queries. You will collaborate closely with the CTO and a small AI team, enjoying significant technical autonomy and direct influence over product evolution.

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve the platform’s knowledge graph data model, including entities, relationships, and temporal attributes.
  • Implement and extend custom entity and relationship extraction pipelines using LMs with structured output validation and confidence scoring.
  • Utilize Graphiti as the memory layer for managing episode ingestion, entity resolution, and graph updates.
  • Design and enforce graph schema standards for consistency across data sources and ingestion pipelines.
  • Build evaluation frameworks to measure extraction quality, entity disambiguation accuracy, and graph coverage.
  • Design and implement multi-step agentic workflows orchestrating LLM calls, web search, database lookups, and graph writes.
  • Integrate AI web search for real-time entity enrichment within agentic pipelines.
  • Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines over the knowledge graph to translate compliance queries into Cypher and natural language answers.
  • Implement the graph interrogation layer, a conversational interface for querying the knowledge graph.
  • Manage LLM API integrations, including prompt engineering, structured outputs, and cost/latency optimization.
  • Build and maintain Python-based data ingestion pipelines from various sources and writing to Neo4j.
  • Implement NER and entity disambiguation logic for extracting structured facts from unstructured compliance documents.
  • Develop topic modelling pipelines to classify extracted facts as knowledge graph relationship attributes.
  • Integrate with the .NET backend via well-defined HTTP contracts.
  • Stay current with agentic AI and knowledge graph literature, evaluating new frameworks, models, and techniques.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions with evidence such as benchmarks and prototypes.
  • Maintain Claude Code context files for AI-augmented development.
  • Write clear technical documentation in Notion covering design decisions, data models, and operational runbooks.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of professional experience in AI/ML engineering.
  • At least 1 year of experience working on knowledge graphs or graph-based data systems in production.
  • Hands-on experience with Neo4j, including data modelling, Cypher query writing, schema design, and performance tuning.
  • Deep familiarity with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini), including prompt engineering, structured outputs, function/tool calling, and cost management.
  • Understanding of trade-offs between LLMs and smaller fine-tuned models regarding cost, latency, and accuracy.
  • Experience building agentic pipelines with multi-step LLM workflows, tool use, memory, and state management.
  • Python proficiency, including writing clean, testable Python and understanding async patterns.
  • Experience with RAG architectures, including vector search, hybrid retrieval, and integrating retrieval into LLM-powered applications.
  • Ability to read and apply AI research papers to develop working prototypes.
  • Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Direct experience or knowledge with Graphiti or other temporal knowledge graph frameworks is a strong advantage.
  • Familiarity with entity resolution and disambiguation techniques at scale is a strong advantage.
  • Experience with NER pipelines, topic modelling, or information extraction from compliance or financial documents is a strong advantage.
  • Knowledge of the third-party risk, sanctions screening, or KYC/AML domain is a strong advantage.
  • Experience with Databricks, Delta Lake, or similar data lakehouse platforms is a strong advantage.
  • Exposure to GCP (Vertex AI, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage) is a strong advantage.
  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks for LLM-generated structured outputs is a strong advantage.
  • Prior work in a RegTech, FinTech, or compliance-adjacent environment is a strong advantage.
