About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage B2B SaaS company building AI-powered revenue workflows for enterprise customers. As a founding member of the deployment team, you will turn complex customer data into validated models and production-ready agent workflows that support measurable business outcomes.

What You'll Do

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

  • Build and validate semantic models by interviewing stakeholders, reconciling differing definitions, and encoding agreed-upon logic in verified SQL queries.

  • Deploy customer-specific workflows and agent pipelines, then monitor their performance and business outcomes.

  • Manage several customer engagements at once, collaborating with customer data and engineering teams while completing hands-on data work.

  • 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 production data pipelines or software systems.

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

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

  • Prior data science or machine learning experience, or academic grounding in statistics, mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, data science, or another quantitative STEM field.

  • Customer-facing experience, sound technical judgment, and the ability to work carefully through detailed, repetitive data verification.

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