ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an early-stage B2B SaaS team as a Founding Forward Deployed Engineer, owning technical deployments of an AI-powered revenue platform in enterprise customer environments. You will turn complex customer data into verified models and production agent workflows that support measurable revenue outcomes.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead customer onboarding by scoping data access, exploring undocumented warehouses, and mapping schemas to business concepts such as churn, expansion, and recurring revenue.
- Build and validate semantic models by interviewing stakeholders, reconciling definitions, and encoding business logic in verified SQL.
- Deploy platform workflows and agent pipelines into customer environments, then monitor their performance and outcomes.
- Manage multiple customer engagements, collaborating with customer data and engineering teams while doing hands-on data work.
- Use internal agent tooling and share feedback on evaluation guardrails, validation frameworks, and agent infrastructure.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Two to five years of experience in forward deployed engineering, data science, or customer-facing software engineering.
- Experience owning end-to-end technical customer deployments and independently shipping production data pipelines or systems.
- Strong SQL and data warehouse skills, including working with undocumented or legacy schemas and validating results.
- Proficiency with SQL, dbt, Python, data warehousing, LLMs, AI agents, signal engineering, or evaluation frameworks.
- A quantitative STEM degree or equivalent foundations, plus experience or academic study in data science, machine learning, statistics, math, or applied math.
- Customer-facing experience, sound technical judgment, and comfort with detailed, repetitive data verification work.
- Experience in an early-stage startup, consulting, or another scrappy environment is valuable.
