## Description

within any relational database or heterogeneous graph - a fundamentally new approach to enterprise AI. As an engineer on this team, you won't just be fine-tuning existing models; you'll be designing and experimenting with novel Transformer and GNN architectures that generalize across diverse relational schemas. Your work will directly impact real-world applications spanning recommendation systems, demand forecasting, fraud detection, and predictive maintenance - all powered by one extensible model. You'll collaborate closely with researchers and engineers across the full ML lifecycle, from architecture exploration and large-scale training to post-training optimization and inference acceleration. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to foundational research that ships into production and shapes the modern data stack. If you're excited about graph learning, relational reasoning, and building AI systems that go far beyond single-table benchmarks, this is the team for you.What you'll be
