AI-Native Metadata Librarian

The Opportunity

As an AI-Native Metadata Librarian, you will join a remote-first team at Third Iron to modernize how bibliographic data is organized and delivered. You will act as a data architect, transforming massive, often messy datasets into clean, reliable information that serves millions of researchers globally. This role sits at the cutting edge of librarianship, where traditional information science meets modern automation.

Tech Stack and Vibe Coding

This isn't a standard cataloging position; it's a technical role where you'll use SQL, Excel, and APIs alongside advanced AI tools. You will be expected to leverage 'vibe coding' principles to build custom scripts, regex patterns, and automation tools that handle entity resolution and metadata mapping at scale. By using AI to accelerate technical work, you'll solve systemic data issues that would be impossible to fix manually.

Why Join?

• AI-First Culture: Third Iron values 'AI-native' workers who use LLMs to accelerate analysis and development workflows.
• Modern Workflow: Use natural language to generate tools, transform JSON/XML data, and validate complex library records.
• Autonomy: Work in a small, efficient team of 30 that prioritizes deep work and minimizes unnecessary meetings.
