The Ontology Expert role focuses on designing and governing healthcare ontologies for AI-driven solutions. Candidates should have over 5 years of experience in ontology engineering and strong healthcare domain knowledge. Responsibilities include building semantic models, collaborating with technical teams, and ensuring semantic accuracy. Preferred qualifications include a background in clinical informatics and experience with healthcare AI platforms. This position offers the chance to shape the future of healthcare AI solutions.
Job Responsibility:
Design, build, and maintain healthcare ontologies and semantic models
Define domain vocabularies, taxonomies, and relationships for AI-driven solutions
Support knowledge representation for AI agents, decision-support, and clinical intelligence systems
Collaborate with clinicians, data scientists, and AI engineers to translate knowledge into formal models
Govern ontology lifecycle, versioning, and semantic consistency
Develop ontologies using standards such as OWL, RDF, and SKOS
Work with healthcare standards and terminologies (SNOMED CT, ICD-10, LOINC, RxNorm)
Enable semantic interoperability across EHRs and healthcare data sources
Support reasoning, inference, and rule-based logic for AI systems
Enable AI and GenAI systems with structured healthcare knowledge
Support agentic workflows, decision models, and explainable AI outputs
Collaborate on RAG pipelines and knowledge graph integration for LLM-based systems
Ensure semantic accuracy and safety for clinical use cases
Ensure ontologies align with clinical safety, regulatory, and compliance requirements
Support auditability, traceability, and explainability of AI decisions
Define semantic governance policies and best practices
