IT Solution Expert-Data Pipeline and Retrieval Engineer (AI Capability)

Dear Aspirant!

We empower our people to stay resilient and relevant in a constantly changing world. We’re looking for people who are always searching for creative ways to grow and learn. People who want to make a real impact, now and in the future. Does that sound like you? Then it seems like you’d make a great addition to our vibrant international team.

We are looking for: Lead Data Pipeline Engineer Consultant

You build and run the pipelines that move knowledge into our Neo4j knowledge graph and make it retrievable for AI assistants. This is a hands-on engineering role - you implement. You work AI-first: you use AI to build and accelerate the pipelines and tooling, and you evaluate that the results are correct. You partner with the Ontology Engineer, who owns the target schema; you make source data fit that schema and flag back when it does not

You’ll make an impact by:

• Understand heterogeneous source data before implementation - identify semantics, dependencies, quality gaps and the real transformation need, rather than coding against the surface.
• Build and operate automated extract-transform-load (ETL) pipelines that pull structured and unstructured content from source systems (SAP, process and documentation tools, documents) and load it into Neo4j.
• Transform and enrich extracted data to fit the canonical ontology/schema.
• Build generic, reusable retrieval tooling over the graph and vector stores - vector, similarity/cosine, hybrid and multi-hop search - independent of any single use case.
• Implement incremental loading, change detection, retries, error handling, monitoring and data-quality checks so pipelines run without manual babysitting.
• Treat each pipeline as a product through its full SDLC: requirements → design → build → test → operate.
• Use AI first to build, accelerate and evaluate your work, and dig into failures hands-on.

You’re excited to build on your existing expertise, including:

• AI First Mindset: you build solutions with AI rather than handcrafting them, and you can judge whether AI output is correct.
• 8+ years of relevant hands-on experience - a super-senior engineer who can steer this topic in the right direction (depth and delivery matter more than years in any single tool).
• Curiosity and a willingness to understand the problem - someone who digs into the subject matter, not a plain developer who hides behind technical skills.
• Strong hands-on Python and solid data-pipeline / ETL engineering - APIs, incremental loads, error handling, automated testing.
• Hands-on experience with retrieval / search - vector and similarity search, embeddings, and at least one real system you built or operated.
• Works to SDLC principles (requirement → design → build → test → operate).
• Senior, hands-on, self-driven individual contributor who implements and owns outcomes.
• Nice to have
  • Graph / vector databases, especially Neo4j & Cypher (load and retrieve). Depth here is a plus, not a gate - curiosity plus an AI mindset.
  • Exposure to SAP data (you will pick up the domain with the team and with AI).
  • Agent frameworks, tool-calling / MCP; Azure; CI/CD.
• Python, Neo4j & Cypher, vector search / embeddings, Azure AI Search, LangGraph, MCP & APIs, Azure; connectors to SAP, Signavio and other content sources.
• How we work
  • AI-first, hands-on, outcome-oriented. We implement - no PowerPoint-only architects. Problem-first and pragmatic: we challenge vague requirements and unnecessary complexity, then build a workable alternative.
