## About the Role

* Strong Python engineering skills with experience delivering production AI systems (assumed FastAPI/Flask familiarity).
 * Practical experience working with structured and unstructured data - beyond notebooks and prototypes.
 * Understanding of RAG, embedding retrieval algorithms, self-refinement patterns and knowledge graph integration.
 * Familiarity with Neo4j or graph databases and cloud deployment environments.

## Description

* Build and ship AI features that transform unstructured operational data into trustworthy, structured knowledge for manufacturers.
 * Extend and maintain their knowledge graph platform, including adding a time dimension - a core technical challenge.
 * Design and implement RAG and agentic systems that work reliably in industrial environments.
 * Own end-to-end delivery: ingestion, embeddings, retrieval, ontology adjustments, deployment and monitoring.
 * Work closely with a small engineering team (backend, frontend, architecture) to bring AI capabilities into production quickly.
 * Tackle a 40-item AI backlog and help define how AI is built and scaled inside the organisation.
