Job Description
About the Role n
We are building a Context Engine that enables Agentic AI systems and LLMs to reason with reliable, structured and domain-specific context.
n
The Context Engine uses Ontology, Knowledge Graphs and semantic relationships to represent domain knowledge and provide AI systems with the right context at the right time.
n
We are looking for a Product Lead who can work at the intersection of Product, Ontology/KG, AI, Engineering and Customer POCs.
n
This is not a conventional project-management role. You will be expected to understand the technology at a conceptual and working level, reason with engineering teams, conduct research, contribute to ontology/KG development, test ideas, document the technology, interact with users and help shape the MVP roadmap.
n
You will work closely with the CPO, founders/ideators and engineering teams to take the Context Engine from concept → MVP → validated POCs → production handover.
What You Will Do1. Own Day-to-Day MVP Product Execution n
· Translate the Context Engine vision into clear MVP capabilities, use cases and build priorities.
n
· Work closely with the CPO and founders to convert ideas and hypotheses into an actionable roadmap.
n
· Track MVP progress, dependencies, risks and decisions.
n
· Identify gaps, ambiguity and blockers and drive them toward resolution.
n
· Ensure that the MVP remains focused on its intended customer and business outcomes.
n
· Participate actively in product and technical discussions rather than simply tracking tasks.
2. Work Closely with Ontology & Knowledge Graph Teams n
· Understand and contribute to the design of domain ontologies and Knowledge Graphs.
n
· Help identify entities, classes, properties and relationships required to represent domain knowledge.
n
· Review and refine semantic relationships and terminology.
n
· Contribute to manual triple definition and semantic modelling.
n
· Ensure that relationships accurately represent the intended meaning and domain behaviour.
n
· Maintain consistency in terminology and ontology definitions.
n
· Work with engineers to translate domain concepts into machine-readable representations.
3. Research & Technical Reasoning n
· Research emerging approaches in Ontology, Knowledge Graphs, RDF / semantic technologies, LLM grounding, RAG, Agentic AI, Context Engineering and Knowledge Representation.
n
· Compare alternative technical approaches and communicate their implications to the team.
n
· Form hypotheses and help design experiments to validate them.
n
· Analyze test results and convert learnings into product or technical improvements.
n
· Challenge assumptions constructively when evidence suggests a different approach.
4. Facilitate Between Engineering Teams n
· Act as the connective layer between the teams involved in building the Context Engine.
n
· Work with Ontology/KG engineers, backend/application engineers, AI/LLM engineers, LinkEye engineering/product teams,
testing/QA teams and production/DevOps teams.
n
· Facilitate understanding and decisions rather than simply passing requirements between teams.
n
· Ask and drive clarity around the problem, assumptions, evidence, customer need, technical implications and MVP priority.
5. Customer Engagement & POCs n
· Participate in customer discovery and technical discussions.
n
· Understand customer problems and identify the context required to solve them.
n
· Support and drive Context Engine POCs.
n
· Define POC scenarios, test cases and expected outcomes.
n
· Work with users to understand failures, gaps and unexpected behaviour.
n
· Translate customer feedback into actionable insights for the build team.
n
· Identify patterns across POCs that can influence the product roadmap.
6. Product & Technical Documentation n
· Own and maintain documentation required to build, explain and evolve the Context Engine.
n
· Product documentation: product vision, problem statement, use cases, MVP scope, capabilities, roadmap, POC scenarios, success criteria and limitations.
n
· Technical documentation: architecture, data/context flows, ontology/KG concepts, semantic relationships, integration points, technical decisions, experiments, test methodology and known limitations.
n
· Ontology documentation: entity/class definitions, property definitions, relationship definitions, semantic rules, examples and modelling guidelines.
n
· Explain technically complex concepts clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
7. Product Articulation & Marketing Support n
· Work with the CPO and marketing/content teams to articulate what the Context Engine is, why it is required for Agentic AI, what problem it solves, how it differs from conventional RAG/LLM approaches, what the MVP demonstrates and what customer use cases it addresses.
n
· Convert complex technical concepts into clear, accurate and compelling product narratives without oversimplifying the technology.
8. Production Handover n
· Define MVP acceptance criteria.
n
· Ensure product and technical documentation is complete.
n
· Capture architectural and operational learnings.
n
· Document known limitations and future requirements.
n
· Work with the production team to prepare the handover.
n
· Support the transition from experimental MVP to production-ready product.
What We Are Looking ForCore Requirements n
· Conceptual understanding of Ontology and Knowledge Graphs.
n
· Ability to reason about semantics, entities, relationships and domain meaning.
n
· Ability to conduct technical research independently.
n
· Ability to translate ambiguous ideas into structured product requirements and experiments.
n
· Ability to understand complex technical concepts and explain them clearly.
n
· Robust analytical and reasoning ability.
n
· Excellent written and spoken English.
n
· Strong technical writing capability.
n
· Comfortable working with engineers and technical teams.
n
· Strong collaboration and mediation skills.
n
· Comfortable interacting with customers/users during POCs.
n
· Strong ownership mindset.
Highly Preferred n
· Prior experience working with the network-management/domain context.
n
· Understanding of RDF, OWL, SPARQL or other semantic technologies.
n
· Aware of Neo4j or other Knowledge Graph platforms.
n
· Understanding of LLMs, RAG and Agentic AI.
n
· Experience working with AI/ML or developer-oriented products.
The Kind of Person We Are Looking For n
You may be a good fit if you enjoy moving between different worlds:
n
Domain knowledge ↔ Ontology ↔ Engineering ↔ Product ↔ Customer
n
You do not have to be the deepest expert in every technology. But you should be someone who can:
n
· Understand
n
· Question
n
· Research
n
· Reason
n
· Model
n
· Test
n
· Document
n
· Communicate
n
You should enjoy working in an environment where the product is still being discovered and where new questions are often more valuable than immediately having answers.
n
You should be comfortable saying: "I don’t know yet. Let me research it, test the assumption and come back with evidence."
What Success Looks Like n
· The Context Engine MVP has a clear and continuously evolving product definition.
n
· Ontology/KG concepts are semantically consistent and well documented.
n
· Engineering teams have clarity on what they are building and why.
n
· Technical decisions are supported by research and experimentation.
n
· MVP progress, risks and dependencies are visible.
n
· Customer POCs generate meaningful product learning.
n
· Product and technical documentation are maintained throughout the build.
n
· The CPO and founders have a reliable partner for day-to-day MVP execution.
n
· The validated MVP can be confidently handed over to the production team.
This Role Is NOT n
· A Jira/task tracking role
n
· A Scrum Master role
n
· A conventional project coordinator role
n
· A documentation-only role
n
· A pure ontology/KG engineering role
n
· A pure Product Manager role
n
It is a hands-on technical product and knowledge role that combines domain understanding, semantic modelling, research, product thinking, technical communication and cross-team collaboration.
Suggested Experience n
1-2 years of relevant experience preferred.
n
Candidates with robust analytical ability, ontology/KG exposure and relevant Product domain experience may be considered even if they do not match every item above.
