Senior AI / ML Cloud Engineer – Graph Analytics Platform Location: Remote Company: Contex Q Pte Ltd About Contex Q Contex Q, a Singapore-based B2 B Saa S AI startup, is dedicated to transforming financial crime, fraud, and risk management through a groundbreaking contextual decision intelligence platform. It processes billions of data points from various sources using Symbolic AI, Vector Search, Graph AI, and Agentic frameworks to deliver transparent, ethical, and actionable insights to clients. Our mission is to empower organizations with unparalleled intelligence while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and societal impact. This is an opportunity to solve intricate technical challenges, from real-time very large data processing to advanced analytics and optimisation on very large network graphs and interactive graph visualizations, while contributing to a mission that fights financial crime, builds customer intelligence and promotes ethical decision-making. By joining us, you will help build a Next Gen Contextual Decision Intelligence Enterprise Analytics Platform that will set a new standard for explainable AI (XAI) in high-stakes industries. Role Overview and Core Responsibilities The role is a hands-on technical leadership position focused on architecting and implementing distributed graph computing solutions processing billions of entities and relationships for a next-generation data intelligence platform using a microservices architecture. The successful candidate will lead the development of the Entity Resolution and Network Generation services. The engineer is expected to be performance-obsessed, think in distributed systems, optimize for latency and throughput, and act as a self-directed technical leader who makes architectural decisions and implement them. This is a foundational role offering the unique opportunity to design, build, and steer a product from its inception, establishing yourself as a key architect in one of the world's leading Graph analytics platforms. What you will build / contribute to: Entity Resolution Service Design and implement distributed entity resolution algorithms to process billions of records. Build blocking strategies (e.g., LSH, canopy clustering) optimized for Spark at scale. Create AI/ML based advanced matching with explainable AI (XAI). Implement incremental resolution supporting real-time and batch modes. Design APIs for entity lookup with sub-100ms latency requirements. Assist the team in building dynamic entity resolution with embedded graph knowledge of GNN and GT (Graph transformers). Network Generation Service Architect distributed graph generation pipelines using libraries such as Graph X/Graph Frames. Implement graph analytics algorithms such as Page Rank, community detection, and centrality measures. Design storage strategies for multi-billion edge graphs in the cloud Build temporal graph support for time-evolving networks. Create high-performance graph serving APIs with complex query capabilities. Optimize graph partitioning to minimize shuffle and maximize locality. AI/ML Model Development & Explainable AI (XAI) Build Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and models using neighbour sampling techniques such as Graph SAGE to analyse corporate and transaction networks for fraud and risk patterns. Implement AI based Entity Resolution algorithms using techniques such as fuzzy matching, semantic matching (Sentence-BERT), and clustering across heterogeneous data sources. Create Risk Scoring Models by combining rule-based, supervised and unsupervised methods, optimized for real-time and large data processing. Champion model transparency and fairness by integrating state-of-art models evaluation techniques such as SHAP, LIME, bias detection and monitoring model drifts. Cloud Infrastructure & Data Platform (Cross-Service Responsibilities) Ensure seamless integration between entity resolution and network generation services. Implement comprehensive monitoring and observability. Contribute to API design and service contracts. Minimum Qualifications 3+ years of experience in distributed computing and big data systems . 2+ years ’ experience in entity resolution and graph analytics at scale . Strong understanding of blocking algorithms, probabilistic record linkage, and similarity measures. Ability to design and optimise large Apache Spark workloads. Ability to implement graph algorithms in distributed computing frameworks such as Apache Spark, Dask or equivalent with optimised queries and storage formats Have a good understanding of Open Cypher , Gremlin or equivalent. Familiar with Elasticsearch or equivalent for fast search and pattern matching. Understanding of AI/ML applications to entity resolution. Preferred Experience Master or Ph D in Computer Science or related field with focus on graphs/entity resolution Experience with Architecture Design and implementation of large scaled Graph databases (Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, Janus Graph) or equivalent Track record in building systems processing millions of entities/edges Experience in designing microservices architectures, fault-tolerant, scalable systems, and API design. Experience with real-time stream processing (Kafka, Flink, Apache Beam, Apache Spark Streaming etc…) Basic experience with Banking compliances (Financial Crime, Fraud) Why Join Us?
