Mountain View, California, United States · Full-time

Sponsorship not specified$142k-$342kDetected 27 days ago

About the role

Local commerce runs on trustworthy data about places, merchants, and the relationships between them.

Build and scale the local knowledge graph: POI / places data systems, schema, and ontology for local businesses and listings.
Own entity resolution and entity linking across multiple, conflicting data sources.
Build merchant / listing data-quality systems that keep the graph accurate over time.
Partner with intent and matching teams so the graph powers search, discovery, and matching.
You will build our local knowledge graph: the POI and places-data systems, entity resolution, and ontologies that turn fragmented, multi-source business data into a clean, queryable graph.

4+ years in software engineering with direct knowledge-graph, POI, or places-data work.
Experience with ontology / schema design for real-world entities.
Comfort operating at graph scale (can speak to the size and structure of graphs you've built).
If you have built places data or a knowledge graph at map or local scale, this is the core data foundation of the company.

Background at Google Maps / Google Knowledge Graph, Apple Maps, Foursquare, Yelp, Uber, TomTom, HERE, Meta (Mapillary), or Microsoft (Bing Maps).
Entity resolution or merchant-data-quality work at Yelp, Uber, or DoorDash.
Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
Strong data-engineering fundamentals (pipelines, geospatial data a plus).
