We are backed by top VCs including ICONIQ, Index Ventures, Pentech and Marathon.

Requirements
What we are looking for
We are looking for engineers with background and expertise in all things data, who love to explore and wrangle with data, enable and empower data science as much as knowledge generation. You will work on bridging the gap between domain semantics and engineering. This spans from modelling data and knowledge, over analysing and exploring all sorts of data, to designing complex algorithms and developing production-grade software for processing, cleaning, integrating data & knowledge resources. You will be part of the Data & Semantic Technologies team, responsible for designing and building the highly scalable and flexible data fabric essential for realising Causaly's vision. You will enable and empower other engineering teams and create true business value by linking their outcomes.

Successful candidates are capable, talented, engaged and passionate about creating industry-strength architectures and solutions that unleash the value of data. We are a multi-disciplinary team working in a fast-paced and collaborative environment, who value honest opinion and open debate.

Then you should become part of our journey!

What You Can Expect To Work On

  • Work on exciting business problems requiring the creation, integration, maintenance, and management of data & knowledge resources.
  • Link domain semantics with engineering, working closely with our domain experts on topics like knowledge representation and integration.
  • Work with other engineers on production data-pipelines, with a focus on data modelling, algorithms, stats and analytics for quality assessment & refinement, document lifecycles, semantics for search.
  • Contribute to drive our semantics agenda, particularly along the lines of ontology management, semantics for GenAI, and our knowledge graph.
  • Explore, develop, debug in the context of rapid PoCs.
  • Adopt data extractions with the help of LLMs in our pipelines, in collaboration with NLP & ML engineers.
  • Work directly with a multitude of technical, product and business stakeholders.

Minimum Requirements

  • Proven experience in data and/or knowledge engineering roles with hands-on contributions to modelling, managing, analysing, and integrating data.

Data Science Job Interview Warm‑Up: 30 Real Coding & System‑Design Questions

Data science has become one of the most sought‑after fields in technology, leveraging mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and programming to derive valuable insights from data. Organisations across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, government—rely on data scientists to build predictive models, understand patterns, and shape strategy with data‑driven decisions. If you’re gearing up for a data science interview, expect a well‑rounded evaluation. Beyond statistics and algorithms, many roles also require data wrangling, visualisation, software engineering, and communication skills. Interviewers want to see if you can slice and dice messy datasets, design experiments, and scale ML models to production. In this guide, we’ll explore 30 real coding & system‑design questions commonly posed in data science interviews. You’ll find challenges ranging from algorithmic coding and statistical puzzle‑solving to the architectural side of building data science platforms in real‑world settings.
