Description

We are looking for a skilled Forward Deployed Data Engineer to join our team. As a Forward Deployed Data Engineer, you will be responsible for defining how our Forward Deployed Engineering function operates, including how engagements run, what deliverables are, how the playbook works, what scales and what doesn't.

You will embed directly with our strategic accounts, large enterprises with complex data needs, often in financial services, insurance, technology, and other globally distributed industries. You will work alongside their teams to understand their go-to-market challenges, then design and deliver bespoke intelligence applications that combine our third-party data with the customer's first-party data to drive real business outcomes.

You will own the engagement end-to-end: from discovery through deployment, from executive presentation through production code. You will work closely with our data and product teams to bring the full breadth of our data foundation to bear , company intelligence, contact data, buying signals, intent data, and specialized vertical datasets , assembled into purpose-built applications tailored to each customer's specific personas and workflows.

Our data foundation is one of the deepest go-to-market data foundations in the world , 500M+ professional profiles, 100M+ company records, intent signals, vertical datasets spanning financial filings, insurance, commercial fleet, and more. You will have access to incredible data, powerful infrastructure, and our most important customer relationships.

As a Forward Deployed Data Engineer, you will diagnose which capabilities the customer actually needs, scope the work, and deliver. You will document what works: discovery frameworks, engagement phases, integration patterns, deliverable templates, success metrics. The current strategic-account engagements are reference patterns , your job is to extract what's repeatable from each new account and turn it into a model that scales to additional strategic accounts, verticals, and eventually a team.

You will sit with the sales team, present to executive leadership, synthesize complex go-to-market data needs into clear, actionable proposals , then deliver the solution. You're equally comfortable whiteboarding matching architecture with a data engineering team, walking a sales operations director through disposition codes, and presenting ROI to a CRO.
