Key Responsibilities

• Lead client workshops to understand licensing concepts, rights, restrictions, territories, platforms, and business rules.
• Design ontology models covering concepts, relationships, taxonomies, hierarchies, cardinalities, and constraints.
• Develop and govern semantic models using OWL, RDF, SHACL, and SPARQL.
• Map ontology concepts to authoritative enterprise data sources, including Snowflake.
• Define knowledge-graph structures, identifiers, provenance, lineage, and ontology versioning.
• Align ontology design with Agentic AI, deterministic rules, evidence traceability, and explainable decisions.
• Guide ontology, data, AI, application, and QA teams during implementation and testing.
• Review technical deliverables and present architecture decisions, risks, and recommendations to client stakeholders.

• Expertise in OWL, RDF, RDFS, SHACL, SPARQL, taxonomies, and semantic modelling.
• Experience with graph platforms such as Amazon Neptune, Stardog, GraphDB, Neo4j, Apache Jena, or equivalent.
• Experience mapping ontologies to databases, APIs, metadata platforms, or cloud data warehouses.
• Knowledge of entity resolution, canonical identifiers, provenance, lineage, and ontology governance.
• Understanding of GenAI, Agentic AI, RAG, LLM grounding, and deterministic rule engines.
• Strong client-facing communication, workshop facilitation, architecture review, and team-guidance skills.

 

Preferred Skills

• Media and Entertainment experience, particularly content licensing, rights management, or intellectual property.

• Exposure to AWS, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Neptune, Snowflake, and Python.
• Experience with tools such as Protégé, TopBraid EDG, PoolParty, or Stardog Studio.
