About the Role
We are seeking a passionate AI professional focused on semantic search and knowledge integration to join our team at CobbleStone Software’s VISDOM Program. In this role, you will work with experienced developers to design and build innovative solutions that leverage semantic search techniques and integrate external knowledge sources—commonly referred to as knowledge graphs—into AI models. This position is ideal for candidates with 1-3 years of professional experience in AI, machine learning, or software development who are eager to deepen their expertise in these emerging areas.
PLEASE NOTE:
· This is a coding position – you will need to have experience with C# and ASP.NET to qualify. Applicants without prior experience in coding in C#/ASP.NET will not be considered.
· We are not hiring candidates with only academic or research experience; you must have AI experience in a work environment to qualify.
Qualifications
- BS/BA degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience through internships or early career roles)
- 1-3 years of professional experience in AI/ML or software development, with exposure to natural language processing or semantic search techniques
- Basic understanding or practical experience with semantic search methods, including vectorization and embedding-based similarity
- Familiarity with integrating external knowledge (knowledge graphs) into AI models to enhance search relevance and outcomes
- Proficiency in ASP.NET and C# from professional experience (with languages such as Python, Java, or JavaScript is a plus)
- A solid grasp of software development principles, with experience in building scalable, maintainable applications
- Ability to interpret system and business requirements and contribute to technical specifications and design documentation
Technical Task
As part of the application process, you will be asked to complete a brief technical exercise:
- Task: Develop a simple program that demonstrates semantic search by vectorizing two texts and calculating their similarity using an embedding method of your choice (e.g., cosine similarity). Additionally, incorporate a basic knowledge graph by integrating a small external dataset or knowledge snippet into your search logic.
- Requirements: Code should be written from scratch without relying on external libraries, and your submission should include a brief interpretation of the result (e.g., explaining the similarity score and how the external knowledge influences the output).
- Candidates with acceptable submissions will be invited to a second-round interview.
What You’ll Do
- Assist in developing and refining VISDOM’s AI capabilities by applying semantic search techniques and integrating external knowledge to improve model performance
- Collaborate with the development team to build, test, and deploy web applications using ASP.NET/C#
- Contribute to all phases of the software development lifecycle within an Agile environment
