We are not building theoretical taxonomies; your mission is to transform messy, unstructured content into pristine, machine-readable data to power autonomous AI agents. By building "clean data fences," archiving legacy noise, and enforcing strict formatting standards, you will prevent AI hallucinations and ensure our agents operate with absolute accuracy. Ultimately, your data curation will eliminate thousands of hours of manual research, empowering our frontline teams to bypass administrative friction and deliver faster, more strategic outcomes to our customers. ### What You'll Do: - Prepare existing knowledge systems (e.g., Confluence, Highspot) for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Clean, deduplicate, and format unstructured content to ensure AI agents ingest only pristine, non-contradictory data. - Certify data sources prior to IT development by enforcing strict metadata labeling, aggressively archiving outdated content, and establishing bounded contexts so LLMs do not hallucinate on legacy garbage. - Convert complex human-readable formats (nested macros, embedded PDFs, poorly structured tables) into clean, standard formats (like Markdown) that can be easily parsed by AI models. - Enforce Golden Data standards.
