Job Description

Senior Entity Resolution Engineer building production entity-resolution and graph provenance systems. Supporting DEFCON AI’s AI-driven platform for resilient optimization of complex government missions.

Responsibilities:

  • Implement and refine entity-level record matching: blocking, candidate generation, pairwise scoring, clustering, and threshold policy
  • Reuse one matching engine for record linkage, deduplication, and known-entity checks
  • Establish provenance so every node and edge traces back to the source that asserted it
  • Own the false-merge versus false-split tradeoff in matching decisions and make it explainable
  • Own technical execution of the matching approach against the in-house design, including separate evaluation of the fixed reference dataset, candidate retrieval, and final matching, plus threshold recommendations with evidence for review
  • Document matching logic in enough detail to serve as an implementation reference for other engineers

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience, including shipping production record matching or entity resolution
  • Ability to explain the matching tradeoffs you made, including how you handled false merges versus false splits
  • Strong Python and SQL, with demonstrated experience on large, messy, real-world data
  • Ability to explain a matching decision to a stakeholder who must defend it without understanding its internals
  • US Citizenship Required
  • Active US Secret clearance required to start
  • Direct experience applying probabilistic matching to inconsistent identity data such as names, dates, addresses, and identifiers, and familiarity with the failure modes of each (preferred)
  • Familiarity with probabilistic record-linkage frameworks and tooling such as Fellegi-Sunter models, Splink, Dedupe, Zingg, or an in-house equivalent (preferred)
  • Record linkage, master data management, or identity management experience (preferred)
  • Graph data modeling and graph algorithms applied in production (preferred)
  • PostgreSQL and pgvector or comparable (preferred)
  • Active Top Secret clearance (preferred)

Benefits:

  • A fully remote, results-based environment
  • Competitive salary, bonus, and equity package
  • 100% employer paid, comprehensive health insurance including medical, dental, and vision for you and your family
  • Unlimited PTO, with your manager’s approval
  • Flexible work environment where you manage your work day
  • 14 weeks of fully-paid parental leave
