AI Technologist of Knowledge

Our Opportunity: 

We're attempting something that's likely impossible: building AI systems that operate at a level of sophistication that makes current approaches look like toys. If you're satisfied writing prompts for large language models or fine-tuning existing architectures, stop reading now. 

The next breakthrough in AI won't come from just algorithms—it will come from mastering the architecture of knowledge itself. While others focus on model parameters, we believe the real challenge lies in orchestrating the vast, chaotic sea of human and machine intelligence into something unprecedented. Most attempts at knowledge management focus on organizing documents, treating information as something to be filed away and retrieved. We see a different path. 

We're building neural pathways for a new kind of intelligence—one that doesn't just store knowledge, but breeds it. Our system takes insights and generates new ones, transforms patterns into discoveries, and grows not linearly but exponentially. It creates connections that neither humans nor machines could make alone, leading to discoveries that no individual expert could conceive. This isn't just a database of what we know; it's an engine for discovering what we don't even know to look for. 

What You'll Really Be Signing Up For: 

• Weeks of frustration as your "brilliant" solutions fall apart
• Regular encounters with problems that make you question your abilities
• The need to challenge and rebuild fundamental assumptions about machine intelligence 

What You’ll Do: 

You'll architect a system that transforms raw knowledge into evolving intelligence. This isn't about building databases—it's about creating neural pathways that grow, adapt, and generate new insights. Your architecture will turn today's discoveries into catalysts for tomorrow's breakthroughs, breeding new knowledge from existing patterns. 

But you won't build this alone. Your greatest innovation will be in creating and orchestrating a workforce of AI agents that extend far beyond traditional automation. These digital experts will harvest insights across the industry, see patterns humans miss, and transform discoveries into new capabilities. Each breakthrough cascades through the system, spawning new agents with enhanced understanding. 

As this collective intelligence grows, you'll guide its evolution toward ever-greater discovery. Each generation of agents becomes smarter than the last, forming connections humans never imagined. This isn't iteration - it's intellectual compound interest, where yesterday's breakthroughs become the foundation for tomorrow's revelations. 

Who You Are: 

• You get motivated when told something is impossible
• You have a track record of solving problems others deemed impossible
• You have the intellectual honesty to abandon your own ideas when better ones emerge
• You build complex systems from first principles because existing solutions aren't good enough.
• You're comfortable being deeply wrong and learning from spectacular failures 

Requirements: 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Preferred: Advanced degrees (Master’s or PhD) in AI, Knowledge Management, Systems Engineering, or Cognitive Science.
• Proven track record of building complex AI/ML systems or knowledge frameworks.
• At least 1+ years of experience in developing and deploying AI systems, knowledge architectures, or related technologies.
• Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in AI development (e.g., Python, Java etc.).
• Deep understanding of machine learning algorithms, knowledge representation techniques and neural networks,
• Strong skills in data modeling, ontology creation, and semantic reasoning.
• Knowledge of secure system design to ensure data integrity and prevent misuse of AI systems.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills with a demonstrated ability to address undefined or ambiguous challenges.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially in conveying complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Some travel may be required. 

Highly Desirable: 

Research & Development: 

• Publications or patents in AI, knowledge systems, or related areas. 
• Contributions to open-source projects in machine learning or knowledge engineering. 

Industry Experience: 

• Hands-on experience with AI-powered knowledge management tools like knowledge graphs, large language models, or agent-based systems.
• Exposure to dynamic industries, such as e-commerce, where knowledge intelligence drives innovation.
• Experience creating, building using graph db in production and research environments.
