  • Experience directing or evaluating LLM-assisted knowledge extraction pipelines with formal validation requirements.
  • Proficiency in Python or similar languages for ontology tooling, pipeline scripting, and data analysis.
  • Experience working in multidisciplinary teams that integrate formal and domain knowledge under operational constraints.
  • Bachelor's or advanced degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Philosophy, Information Science, or a related hard science discipline (preferred).
  • Familiarity with category theory, CQL/AQL, LinkML, BFO 2.0, OBO Foundry principles, provenance models, and production graph databases such as Stardog or Amazon Neptune (preferred).

Benefits
