About the Role TymeX is building one of the most advanced Data & AI platforms in digital banking. A core pillar of this platform is a

unified semantic layer

that ensures every data product across our domains is interoperable, trustworthy, and AI-ready. As a

Semantics Architect , you will design and govern this semantic backbone across domains and countries. Your work will directly power dynamic customer 360, conversational analytics, accurate LLM retrieval, and actionable AI agents across the bank.

This is a rare opportunity to define a semantic architecture from the ground up to safely unleash AI Agents and automation at industrial scale.

What You'll Do

Own and evolve the Semantic Architecture for the Bank

Design, maintain, and govern an AI‑ready semantic architecture and underlying technical framework

Work with domain experts and architects to establish naming conventions, ontologies, and data modelling rules & taxonomies

Build and maintain a canonical model that enables dynamic reconstruction of entire customer journeys across products and channels

Define the domain event ontology and event schemas, ensuring consistent semantics across transactional, behavioural, and system events

Determine a robust metadata architecture and framework and ensure seamless integration with the foundation data platform Databricks

Define and manage the semantic runtime, ensuring semantic definitions are performant, executable, testable, queryable, and consistently applied across ETL, feature pipelines, LLM retrieval workflows, MCP Server, and real‑time APIs

Design the semantic graph (entities, relationships, hierarchies, business rules) that underpins reasoning, AI retrieval, event linking, and customer journey reconstruction & AI action

Develop a framework to embed semantics capture through data product development in a frictionless and consistent manner

Develop intelligent AI‑assisted solutions to ensure semantic consistency with Data Product or Domain SME in the loop

Develop solutions to detect and remediate semantic drift

Own the product roadmap for semantic tooling & frameworks – e.g., semantic catalog, semantic contract validator, lineage resolver, semantic drift detector, ontology editing/visualisation tools, canonical model builder

Define the Semantic and Data Architecture for shared data products such as Master Data, Reference Data, Feature Store, Regulatory Data Products, Core Product data (User, Session, Channel)

Ensure interoperable, distributed ownership aligned with Data Mesh principles wherever practical

Design the semantics layer to power both classic and modern AI (LLM) workloads and use cases

Define semantic grounding strategies for LLMs, enabling hybrid retrieval (SQL + vector + ontology), context resolution, and reliable semantic augmentation for AI agents

Develop a semantics layer that powers reliable and trustworthy conversational analytics (e.g., AI Genie in Databricks or custom AI conversational data agents)

Enable frameworks to ensure efficient and effective semantic consumption as part of context engineering and machine learning

Coach DPOs, stewards, architects, and engineers on semantic best practices

Define templates, frameworks, and accelerators for platform teams to enable automation

Drive reusable semantic building blocks across product teams

Collaborate with platform, governance, and engineering teams to turn ideas into reality

Ensure semantics integrate with Databricks, Unity Catalog, DLT, dbt, and AI tools

Align semantic models with quality, security, lineage, and access policies

Requirements / Qualifications

Master’s degree in a relevant field

5+ years of hands‑on experience in semantic or ontology or data modelling

Proven experience delivering semantics and metadata at scale for large AI workloads

Experience with hyper‑scalar data platforms, semantic tools, dbt, LookML, MDX, Delta Lake, Spark, SQL, Palantir

Strong understanding of data contracts and data quality frameworks

Strong understanding of Data Mesh Principles and the socio‑technical changes required to democratise data

Experience building analytics, ML, or AI‑driven systems with semantics inputs

Hands‑on builder‑leader who is not shy of building frameworks to accelerate understanding and development processes and turn ideas into reality

Strong communication and stakeholder alignment skills

Passion for modern AI and reusable data ecosystems
