What's cool about this job
We currently have an exciting opportunity to join our Ontology Services team as a backend Senior Software Engineer. This team works very closely with our Information Architecture team to create infrastructure for and integrations with our Ontology system and other critical REI systems such as search, navigation, product and content. "What's an ontology?", you say. In simple terms it's a knowledge graph that models concepts and their relationships to one another. For example, the relationship between a tent and a tent stake, or something a little more abstract like the relationship of a tent to a particular type of material. Did we mention Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Auto-classification? Oh, yeah, we're working on that too! The possibilities are limitless and we're just getting started building out our state-of-the-art, event-driven architecture that will eventually provide asynchronous integrations with our core platforms. This is an exciting and cutting-edge domain to work in. If you love data and graphs, enjoy solving complex problems and have solid core and enterprise Java skills, then we should talk. Bonus if you speak SPARQL, RDF or Turtle. Bring your passion, curiosity and respect for your fellow humans and join a talented team on the verge of unlocking some amazing capabilities to help the Co-Op achieve its mission to "inspire, educate and outfit for a lifetime of outdoor adventure and stewardship".
