The Posting

ABOUT THE ROLE

Own customer deployments for an early-stage SaaS company, from understanding business goals and connecting to data through delivering a trusted system with measurable impact. The role brings together data engineering, applied AI, and customer success, while also building reusable tools and practices to improve future deployments.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Partner with revenue and operations leaders to understand business objectives and identify valuable problems to solve.
  • Lead customer onboarding, scope data access, and map undocumented warehouse schemas to business concepts.
  • Interview customer data and business teams to reconcile conflicting definitions and validate the resulting ontology.
  • Build customer-facing signals and workflows, including custom agent configurations, and troubleshoot their outputs.
  • Agree on success measures, analyze results, and build a credible evidence-based case for customer impact.
  • Develop reusable validation frameworks, evaluation harnesses, and mapping tools to accelerate deployments.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • At least 3 years of experience in a technical, customer-facing role such as forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, or software engineering with substantial customer exposure.
  • Strong SQL and dbt skills, with deep familiarity navigating data warehouses and undocumented schemas.
  • A quantitative degree in statistics, mathematics, computer science, or a comparable field, plus a foundation in data science or machine learning.
  • Applied statistics and modeling experience, including distributions, seasonality, validation design, and calibration.
  • Experience creating custom agent setups beyond default implementations and building analytical cases tied to customer outcomes.
  • Ability to resolve inconsistent business definitions through interviews and data validation, with careful attention to detail and comfort working through ambiguity.
  • Founder experience or a non-traditional path into engineering is a plus.
