WORK YOU’LL DO

As part of the Global Center for AI & Data (out of Greece), you will design and implement the knowledge foundations that enable modern AI and Generative AI solutions.

As an AI Knowledge Engineer, you will work at the intersection of data, semantic technologies and Generative AI, transforming structured and unstructured enterprise information into reusable, trusted knowledge that can be effectively discovered and used by people, applications and AI agents.

You will work across knowledge graphs, semantic models and layers, enterprise search and document retrieval, RAG and agent context engineering, helping AI systems access the right enterprise knowledge with the appropriate meaning, context and governance.

There will never be a typical day, and you will continuously learn and grow while working on innovative Data & AI initiatives across industries.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and maintain enterprise knowledge models, semantic layers, ontologies, taxonomies and knowledge graphs that represent business concepts, entities and relationships.
• Transform structured and unstructured enterprise information into trusted, reusable and AI-ready knowledge, applying appropriate metadata, semantics and relationships.
