About The Position

NewsBreak is seeking a Knowledge Graph Engineer to build our local knowledge graph. This role involves developing the POI and places-data systems, entity resolution, and ontologies that transform fragmented business data into a clean, queryable graph. This is a core data foundation role for the company, ideal for someone with experience in building places data or knowledge graphs at a map or local scale.

Requirements

4+ years in software engineering with direct knowledge-graph, POI, or places-data work.
Hands-on entity resolution / entity linking, multi-source POI fusion, or listing data-quality systems.
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).
Strong data-engineering fundamentals (pipelines, geospatial data a plus).

Nice To Haves

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.

Responsibilities

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.
Fuse multi-source POI data into a single coherent representation at scale.
Partner with intent and matching teams so the graph powers search, discovery, and matching.
