What You'll Do
- Lead customer onboarding from data access planning through warehouse discovery and mapping schemas to business concepts such as churn, expansion, and recurring revenue.
- Build and validate semantic models by working with customer stakeholders to resolve competing definitions and encode agreed logic in verified SQL.
- Deploy platform workflows and agent pipelines in customer environments, then monitor their performance and business outcomes.
- Manage multiple customer engagements, balancing direct collaboration with customer teams and hands-on data work.
- Use internal agent tools and share feedback that improves 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 customer deployments end to end and independently shipping and troubleshooting production code, data pipelines, or systems.
- Strong SQL and data warehouse skills, including the ability to work with undocumented or legacy schemas and verify results.
- Experience with data science or machine learning, or academic grounding in statistics, mathematics, or applied mathematics.
- Fluency with SQL, dbt, data warehousing, Python, LLMs, AI agents, signal engineering, or evaluation frameworks.
- A quantitative STEM background and experience in a startup, consulting, or other resourceful environment are valuable.
- Comfort defending technical recommendations with customers, adapting to evidence, and doing detailed, repetitive data verification.
