Artificial Intelligence Software Engineer

About Knowde Inc.
Knowde Inc. is a leading global software company that specializes in digitally transforming the chemical industry by organizing and digitizing product data.

We provide touchless product master data and a suite of purpose-built, integrated tools to accelerate digital transformation, helping Chemical Industry suppliers and distributors unleash the hidden power of their product information and get it into the hands of the people who drive value — sales, regulatory, supply chain and, of course, their customers.

We've embarked on a project to allow our customers to easily find chemical compounds, formulations, and documents they may be interested in. This is specifically tailored to our industry, and our customers love it. This project has serious engineering challenges: efficiently ingesting data from several sources and keeping overall search performance and accuracy in check.

We have a dedicated team whose sole purpose is to maintain a complex chemical taxonomy used everywhere in the project. We're investing in automating as much of this process as possible to process a magnitude more data than we currently do.
