Manage several customer engagements at once, balancing direct collaboration with customer teams and hands-on data work.
Use internal agent tools and share feedback on evaluation guardrails, validation frameworks, and agent infrastructure.

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 code, data pipelines, or systems.
Strong SQL and data warehouse skills, including the ability to navigate undocumented or legacy schemas and validate results.
Working knowledge of Python, dbt, LLMs, AI agents, signal engineering, or evaluation frameworks.
Background in data science, machine learning, statistics, mathematics, or another quantitative field, with strong technical fundamentals.
Customer-facing experience, sound technical judgment, and comfort with detailed, iterative data verification in a startup or similarly hands-on environment.
