300M+ Datapoint Metadata Platform
ProblemNo unified metadata layer across a live job platform — fragmented schemas, no lineage, analytics bottlenecked by ad-hoc queries.
ApproachDesigned metadata architecture with DataHub governance, real-time pipelines, and product-analytics instrumentation for strategic decisions.
Result300M+ datapoints unified. Became the foundation for all later AI/LLM deployments — embedding generation, RAG retrieval, and context grounding at scale.
