  • Preferred: 2+ years of hands-on experience applying knowledge graphs or graph-based learning methods in production.
  • Preferred: Strong fundamentals in at least two of knowledge graph construction, information extraction, graph neural networks, or recommender systems.
  • Preferred: Experience with large-scale unstructured text data such as conversational transcripts or email.
  • Preferred: Experience with probabilistic graphical models, conversational AI, or sales/revenue domain data.
