The successful candidate will help clients connect structured and unstructured information, create machine-understandable representations of business knowledge, and provide trusted context for AI applications.\nYou will work across multiple project roles depending on client needs-serving as a semantic architect, knowledge-graph engineer, AI engineer, data engineer, technical lead, or client advisor. This is not a research-only or ontology-only position. The role requires someone who can translate business requirements into practical solutions and contribute directly to architecture, code, data pipelines, testing, and production delivery.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign and implement enterprise knowledge graphs, semantic layers, ontologies, taxonomies, and graph-based data products.\nTranslate business concepts, policies, documents, data models, and subject-matter expertise into governed, machine-readable knowledge models.\nBuild semantic data pipelines that acquire, transform, map, validate, enrich, and load data from databases, APIs, files, documents, events, and cloud platforms.\nIntegrate knowledge graphs with AI and machine-learning solutions, including generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, GraphRAG, semantic search, and intelligent agents.\nSupport NLP and document-intelligence use cases such as entity extraction, entity linking, relationship extraction, classification, natural language inference, and knowledge extraction.\nCombine graph traversal, vector search, metadata, rules, and model-generated results to improve AI accuracy, grounding, explainability, and traceability.\nDevelop Python- or Java-based services, data transformations, APIs, validation routines, and integration components.\nWork with data scientists and AI engineers to prepare training, retrieval, evaluation, and inference data.\nWork with data engineers to implement batch, streaming, and API-driven pipelines using modern cloud and data platforms.\nDefine semantic-data quality controls, provenance, lineage, confidence scoring, versioning, and governance processes.\nEvaluate graph databases, vector databases, data platforms, AI frameworks, and cloud services based on client requirements.\nLead technical workshops, architecture decisions, prototypes, and production implementations.\nMentor team members and create reusable patterns, accelerators, and reference architectures for Capco’s Graph, Semantics & AI practice.\nSupport proposals, solution estimates, client presentations, and the development of new consulting offerings.\nWhat You’ll Bring\nEight or more years of experience in data engineering, software engineering, artificial intelligence, analytics, enterprise architecture, or a related field.\nAt least four years of hands-on experience with knowledge graphs, semantic technologies, graph databases, or semantic-data integration.\nStrong knowledge of RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL, SHACL, SKOS, JSON-LD, Turtle, or related standards.\nExperience with one or more graph platforms such as Stardog, Neo4j, GraphDB, Amazon Neptune, Anzo, MarkLogic, TigerGraph, Apache Jena, TypeDB, or equivalent technologies.\nStrong programming skills in Python, Java, or a comparable enterprise language.\nExperience developing data pipelines, APIs, transformations, automated tests, and production integrations.\nWorking knowledge of NLP, machine learning, embeddings, vector search, semantic search, RAG, GraphRAG, or LLM-based applications.\nExperience connecting structured data with unstructured content such as policies, contracts, research, communications, or operational documents.\nFamiliarity with cloud and modern data platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift.\nUnderstanding of relational, graph, document, vector, and lakehouse architectures and when to use each.\nExperience with Git, CI/CD, automated testing, containers, Agile delivery, and production-support practices.\nAbility to communicate technical concepts clearly to business stakeholders, architects, engineers, data scientists, and executives.\nDemonstrated ability to operate across multiple roles, learn new technologies quickly, and take ownership from initial discovery through production delivery.\nPreferred Experience\nFinancial-services or other regulated-industry experience is strongly preferred. Experience with data governance, metadata management, entity resolution, master data, responsible AI, model risk, or regulatory reporting is advantageous.\nRelevant cloud, data-engineering, AI/ML, Agile, or graph-technology certifications are a plus.\nWhy Join Capco\nDeliver high-impact technology solutions for Tier 1 financial institutions.\nWork in a collaborative, flat, and entrepreneurial consulting culture.\nAccess continuous learning, training, and industry certifications.\nBe part of a team shaping the future of digital financial services.\nHelp shape the future of digital transformation across FS & Energy.\nWe offer a competitive, people-first benefits package designed to support every aspect of your life:\nBenefits\nMedical, Dental and Vision.\n401k match.\nMaternity and paternity leave and dependent care.\nTuition reimbursement and wellness reimbursement.\nWorking Advantage (discounted marketplace), HSA, FSA, and commuter benefits.\nInclusion at Capco\nWe’re committed to making our recruitment process accessible and straightforward for everyone.
