As a Data Architect / Engineer, you will join a highly motivated and experienced team and own both the data structures behind our graph-RAG platform and the pipelines that get content into it — modeling the knowledge and pumping it in at scale. You will define the schema, taxonomy and graph model for our knowledge domains, build resilient ingestion pipelines from enterprise content sources such as SharePoint and the wider Microsoft stack, and keep the knowledge graph accurate as source documents evolve. We are looking for people who can bring a strong, solution-focused mindset and contribute to architectural decisions, best practices and get things done. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Define the schema, taxonomy, and graph modeling for the knowledge domains. Design how documents, versions, and their machine-readable representations are structured, and how facts evolve over time (including temporal replay). Build ingestion/ETL pipelines from enterprise content sources (e.g., SharePoint and the wider Microsoft stack), handling multimodal content (presentations, documents, transcripts). Keep the knowledge graph in sync as source documents change frequently. Advise on whether the current backend approach (Supabase/Postgres) is the right long-term architecture, and validate ingested content quality with QA. Establish data quality, lineage, and governance standards across pipelines. Build monitoring, alerting, and error-handling for ingestion jobs. Document data models, schemas, and pipeline architecture. Optimize pipeline cost, throughput, and reliability over time. QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or a related field. 5+ years of experience in data engineering / architecture roles. Deep data modeling across relational and graph paradigms; graph databases (Neo4j) and Postgres/Supabase at scale. Strong ETL / data pipeline engineering in Python, including large-scale, incremental, and change-data ingestion. Experience with enterprise content ecosystems: SharePoint, ideally Power Platform / Power Automate. Knowledge representation, taxonomies/ontologies, and versioned/temporal data. Understanding of how data structures feed RAG and LLM retrieval quality. SQL proficiency; experience with orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow) and cloud data services. Familiarity with data governance, security, and privacy practices. Strong documentation and cross-team communication skills.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
