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 hire, you will connect customer data environments to production agent workflows and help turn complex business definitions into reliable, measurable outcomes.

What You'll Do

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

• Interview customer stakeholders, resolve competing definitions, and build a verified semantic layer with validated SQL queries.

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

• Manage multiple customer engagements, partnering with data and engineering teams while completing hands-on data work.

• Use internal agent tools and share feedback on evaluation guardrails, validation frameworks, and agent infrastructure.

What We're Looking For

• Two to five years of experience in forward deployment, data science, analytics engineering, or customer-facing software engineering.

• Experience owning end-to-end technical customer deployments and independently shipping production code, pipelines, or systems.

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

• Working knowledge of Python, dbt, data warehousing, LLMs, AI agents, signal engineering, and evaluation frameworks.

• Prior data science or machine learning experience, or academic grounding in statistics, mathematics, or a related quantitative field.

• A relevant degree and strong computer science, data, or quantitative fundamentals.

• Customer-facing experience, sound technical judgment, and comfort with detailed, repetitive data verification work.

• Experience in a startup, consulting, or similarly hands-on environment is valuable.
