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.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $180,000 to $250,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.

Location

On-site, five days per week in New York, New York.
