  • Strong Python and SQL skills.
  • Experience with Spark or PySpark and a data orchestration or transformation tool such as Airflow, dbt, or Foundry Pipeline Builder.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one of the following: Palantir Foundry, Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, or an RDF triple store, including the relevant query language or tooling.
  • Experience integrating SaaS and operational systems through REST APIs, webhooks, SFTP, and flat-file exports.
  • Understanding of data modeling, data transformation, entity resolution, and data-quality practices.
  • Experience building, monitoring, and troubleshooting production data pipelines.
  • Ability to work with technical and business stakeholders to clarify requirements and resolve data issues.
  • Working knowledge of secure data-handling practices, including access controls, encryption, audit logging, and data minimization.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with cloud data platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Familiarity with infrastructure as code and automated deployment practices.
  • Experience using TypeScript or React to build internal tools or applications that consume ontology data.
  • Experience supporting AI applications or agents through reliable data services, graph queries, or semantic data access.
