About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the Vendor Schema Registry: You will build and maintain the systems that ingest, parse, and version vendor API specifications like OpenAPI, Swagger, Smithy, and others.
Build the Semantic Validation Pipeline: Correctness, not throughput, is your SLO.
Build the Developer Experience: You will design and maintain the internal tooling, SDKs, scaffolding, and documentation systems.
Close the Loop Between Schema and Graph: You will work closely with the Knowledge Engineers and Ontologists.
Raise the Floor for Downstream Teams: You will invest in the documentation, tooling, and validation guardrails.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A strong software engineering background with hands-on experience building systems that parse, validate, and transform structured specifications or schemas at scale.
Proficiency in Go, Rust, and/or Python; comfort in polyglot environments.
Deep experience with API specification formats -- OpenAPI/Swagger, Smithy, JSON Schema, or similar, including parsing, diffing, and reasoning about schema evolution.
A practical understanding of graph data models and the downstream consequences of upstream schema decisions.
A demonstrated instinct for developer experience, you have built internal tooling, SDKs, or frameworks that other engineers actually used, and you measure success by their productivity.
A rigorous, correctness-first engineering mindset: you think in terms of invariants, edge cases, and what happens when a vendor silently changes something.
Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
