You’ll get a chance to work with innovative technologies (e.g., Cloud, APIs, AI) as well as management practices (e.g., Agile, Design Thinking, Product Management). Our environment is fast-paced and highly collaborative. If you want the freedom to find new ways to connect with consumers, there’s no better place to progress your career.

Digital at PMI is dynamic, diverse, and exciting. Join us and become a part of a top talent team where you can bring new ideas to life in a global function that is a key driver of the success of our business!

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Data Architect with a solid focus on graph databases and semantics.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive data models, including graph data models, that accurately represent the structure and relationships within our data assets.
  • Design, document and manage architectures around graph database systems to store, retrieve, and query data efficiently, with a focus on graph traversal algorithms and optimizations.
  • Stay updated on W3C standards and best practices related to the semantic web, including RDF, OWL, SPARQL, and Linked Data principles, and apply them in data architecture design.
  • Work on integrating and redefining data from diverse sources into a semantic graph format, ensuring data quality and consistency.
  • Promote the use of semantic technologies to enhance data interoperability, enabling seamless integration and exchange of data with external partners or systems.
  • Work with ontologists to deploy effective interconnected representations of organization knowledge.
  • Work with data scientists, developers, and business partners to understand data requirements and provide architectural solutions.
  • Ensure that data architecture aligns with relevant data security and privacy regulations, and company policies.
  • Stay abreast of emerging technologies and trends in graph databases and semantics to propose innovative solutions that drive data-centric business initiatives.

Requirements:
  • Bachelor degree or equivalent experience or higher in STEM.
  • Demonstrable experience in data architecture, with a focus on graph databases and semantics.
  • Proficiency in RDF graph database systems - knowledge of AnzoGraph and Neptune is a plus.
  • Familiarity to LPG graph databases is desirable.
  • Experience with ontology management tools (e.g. PoolParty, Graphologi, Protégé)
  • Comprehensive knowledge of semantic web technologies (e.g. RDF, OWL, SPARQL, SHACL).
  • Strong knowledge of W3C standards, FAIR and Linked Data principles.
  • Expertise in data modeling, ETL processes, and data transformation.
  • Exposure to Large Language Model and Retrieval Augmented Generation pattern is a plus.
  • Familiarity with programming languages like Python, Java, or others.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities.
