About News Break

NewsBreak is the best local source for news, videos, and information on safety, accidents, sports, business, celebrity updates, stock market trends, and more.

About the role

Local commerce runs on trustworthy data about places, merchants, and the relationships between them. You will build our local knowledge graph: the POI and places-data systems, entity resolution, and ontologies that turn fragmented, multi-source business data into a clean, queryable graph. If you have built places data or a knowledge graph at map or local scale, this is the core data foundation of the company.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years in software engineering with direct knowledge-graph, POI, or places-data work
  • Hands-on entity resolution / entity linking, multi-source POI fusion, or listing data-quality systems
  • Experience with ontology / schema design for real-world entities
  • Comfort operating at graph scale (can speak to the size and structure of graphs you've built)
  • Strong data-engineering fundamentals (pipelines, geospatial data a plus)
