What We Are Looking For

• Strong software engineering experience designing, building, and operating production systems in Python, TypeScript, Java, or a similar language.
• At least 5 years’ experience in a software engineering role, preferably including ownership of a platform, API or other shared-services product used across multiple internal teams.
• Experience building knowledge, retrieval, or rule systems that other teams depend on, and the judgement to choose the right formalism for a problem, whether that is a schema, decision table, rules engine, graph, or retrieval.
• Practical experience with RAG, information extraction, and structured validation (JSON Schema, Pydantic, or equivalent).
• Sound judgement when reasoning about applicability, exceptions, missing evidence, and ambiguity, including recognizing when a system should decline to answer or require human review.
• Experience constructing evaluation datasets, and the ability to write clearly about modelling decisions, tradeoffs, and failure modes.
• Undergraduate, Master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science / Machine Learning / Data Science / Artificial Intelligence, or related disciplines.
• Comfort operating at the boundary between a platform team and the domain engineering teams that consume it, balancing shared needs and central objectives against individual team priorities and timelines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to work fluently with both technical and business stakeholders alike.

Preferred Experience

• Semantic and symbolic tooling (RDF/OWL, SHACL, Datalog, DMN, production rule engines, policy-as-code).
• Agentic systems with tools calling and validation-before-action.
• Multi-tenant SaaS with strict isolation and audit requirements.
• Experience in a high-accountability domain such as pharmaceutical or food labelling, and legal technology.
• Experience in packaging graphics or the wider graphic arts industry.

What Success Looks Like

• Delivery of the knowledge module, conforming to agreed specifications and architecture, in a way that delivers measurable improvements in AI agent and service effectiveness (e.g. increased end-user productivity).
• Product teams build shared knowledge services rather than constructing their own.
• Agents apply the correct tenant-, market-, and customer-specific constraints with measurably high recall, can explain which knowledge items influenced a recommendation or validation result, and escalate rather than guess when knowledge is ambiguous, conflicting, or absent.
• Tenant-specific knowledge never crosses tenant boundaries.
• The knowledge base itself is versioned, tested, legible – and curatable by the humans who must ultimately stand behind it.
• Delivery of initiatives occurs in line with Esko’s Software Development Lifecycle and in accordance with company policy and security best practices.
• The knowledge module grows as a coherent whole rather than fragmenting into one-off, team-specific solutions.
