Data Architect - Active Metadata

Location: Menlo Park, CA (Remote)

Note: Education M.S./Ph. D. in Computer Science (Formal Methods/Logic) or Computational Mathematics.

Role Overview: We are seeking a visionary to architect a Self-Healing, Autonomous Data Fabric. You will replace legacy ETL with a "nervous system" where metadata is active, governance is computational, and data sharing is zero-copy.

Mandatory Skills: Active Metadata: Experience building closed-loop automation (e.g., metadata-triggered autonomous schema repair).Semantic Engineering: Mastery of RDF, OWL, and SHACL for ontology-first modeling and SPARQL reasoning. Production-level Open Policy Agent (OPA)/ Policy-as-Code (Zero-Trust) for dynamic, context-aware access control.

Other Technical Skills: Advanced Privacy: Implementation of Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) or SMPC for analytics on encrypted PII.Zero-Copy Architecture: Expertise in Delta Sharing for cross-cloud analytics without egress. Compute: Trino (GraalVM), Star Rocks, DuckDB (WASM).Orchestration: Dagster, Airflow (Provider-level).Semantic Layer: Stardog, Apache Jena, GraphQL Federation.

System Languages: Rust, Clojure, or Java.
