Founding Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

Join an early-stage B2B SaaS team building AI-powered tools for revenue operations. As a founding deployment engineer, you will turn complex customer data into reliable models and production agent workflows that support measurable business outcomes.

What You'll Do

• Lead customer onboarding from scoping data access through exploring warehouses and mapping schemas to business concepts such as churn, expansion, and recurring revenue.

• Interview customer stakeholders, resolve conflicting definitions, and encode validated business logic into semantic models and SQL queries.

• Deploy agent workflows and pipelines in customer environments, then monitor their performance and business impact.

• Manage multiple customer engagements, balancing hands-on data work with collaboration across customer data and engineering teams.

• Use internal agent tools and share feedback to improve 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 technical customer deployments end to end and independently shipping and troubleshooting production code or data systems.

• Strong SQL and data warehouse skills, including the ability to navigate undocumented or legacy schemas and validate results.

• Experience with data science or machine learning, or academic study in statistics, mathematics, or a related quantitative field.

• Familiarity with SQL, dbt, data warehousing, Python, LLMs, AI agents, signal engineering, or evaluation frameworks.

• A relevant quantitative or computer science degree and experience in a startup, consulting, or similarly hands-on environment.

• Comfort working directly with customers, defending technical decisions with evidence, and doing detailed, repetitive data verification.
