Are you ready to connect data like never before? At Novo Nordisk, we’re looking for an AI Engineer to design and build Knowledge Graphs that will power our next generation of AI solutions: helping scientists, researchers, and doctors discover new insights and improve patient lives worldwide.
Your new role
As our Senior AI Engineer – Knowledge Graphs, you will shape how Novo Nordisk uses interconnected data to transform research, development, and healthcare solutions. You will:
• Design and develop Knowledge Graphs: create schemas, ontologies, and mod-els to bring structure to vast amounts of data.
• Build KG-powered AI solutions: enable semantic search, drug discovery sup-port, anomaly detection, and personalised healthcare applications.
• Integrate KGs with AI/ML systems: connect Knowledge Graphs with LLMs, vec-tor databases, and other AI tools to create context-aware applications.
• Stay at the forefront of innovation: explore and implement emerging technolo-gies in graph databases, semantic web standards, and graph machine learning.
• Collaborate across teams: work with data scientists, ML engineers, and busi-ness experts to translate ideas into real solutions.
• Ensure quality and compliance: maintain best practices in AI governance and regulatory requirements.
You will also drive knowledge sharing, contributing in documentation, presenting ide-as, and inspiring adoption of new approaches.
This is a hybrid position with 2-3 days of work in our fantastic new office at King’s Cross, London.
Your new department
You’ll join AI, Analytics & Automation, a dynamic and rapidly growing global organisa-tion of data scientists, AI engineers, and developers. Our teams deliver end-to-end data products and cutting-edge AI solutions that span research, commercial, and pro-duction environments. We are cloud-native, working with Databricks, AWS, and Azure, and we embrace innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.
Your team will be composed by platform engineers, data scientists and AI engineers, based in London and Denmark, and you will directly report into the Head of AI Engi-neering.
Your skills and qualifications
We’re looking for someone proactive and self-driven, with the ability to take AI pro-jects from idea to production. You should have:
• A Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, or similar.
• Hands-on experience building Knowledge Graph or AI-driven applications in a production environment is a mandatory requirement, with a strong preference for candidates who have taken solutions from concept all the way through to deployment.
• Strong knowledge of semantic web technologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL) and graph databases (e.g. Neo4j, Amazon Neptune).
• Proficiency in Python for data manipulation, API development, and AI/ML.
• Experience integrating KGs with LLMs, semantic search, or vector databases.
• Clear communication skills to explain complex technical concepts to all audi-ences.
It would be considered a plus if you have experience in NLP for KG construction, graph machine learning, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), and DevOps practices.
