About the role
Design, maintain, and extend internal LinkML / Biolink models and ontologies covering experimental and prior-knowledge metadata—driven by competency questions from user requirements and not by source-side convenience. Administer, steer, and refine our agentic curation framework and Model Context Protocol (MCP) service layer to scale data profiling, validation, and entity mapping far beyond manual capacity.
