Join OWLIM Team

Join the top team for semantic storage and help us ride the
adoption wave across publishing, media, pharma, government, cultural
heritage and telecoms.

Ontotext's OWLIM is a high-performance, enterprise-ready,
standards compliant RDF database that has seen unmatched adoption in
high profile show-cases, e.g. BBC Sport Website for dynamic
aggregation of content, numerous popular
SPARQL endpoints (LinkedLifeData ,
UniProt , British Museum ,
FactForge ), in AstraZeneca for
searching clinical trials, in EuroMoney for financial publishing and
many others . The
penetration of this technology into areas once dominated by
relational
databases continues rapidly.

The position

Ontotext are expanding the OWLIM team with experts in one
or
more of the following fields:

- database theory, storage systems, indexing techniques

- query answering, optimisation strategies

- Semantic Web, RDF, XML

- logics, automated reasoning, OWL, RDF(S)

- Java experience preferable, but not essential

Some of the more interesting activities for this role
include exploring hybrid approaches for data management that combine
RDF
systems with full-text search and natural language processing. The
role will
also include contributing to the EU funded research project 'Linked
Data
Benchmark Council' – a high-impact project where some of the leading
vendors
and experts in the field of RDF and graph databases join forces in
an
industry-wide initiative aiming to become as important for the
development of
RDF databases as the Transaction Processing Council (TPC) is for
relational
databases. Therefore the ideal candidate will have experience
participating in
national or European funded research projects.

We anticipate hiring someone to work remotely, so relocation
to Bulgaria is not required. However, the successful candidate will
be expected
to travel to research project meetings and make occasional visits to
the
company headquarters in Sofia.

If you are interested, please send us your resume to jobs(at)ontotext(dot)com.

RDF databases are to SQL as Java is to C: more automation, easier evolution of data
