About this role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at BlueAlpha, you sit at the edge between our platform and our customers. You’ll embed with growth and marketing teams, map their problems, and turn them into concrete data science and engineering workstreams. You’ll prototype, ship, and iterate on solutions that combine data science, data engineering, and software & ML engineering. This is a high-ownership role: you’ll directly shape how we deliver value to customers and what gets built into the core product.
What you'll do
- Own technical delivery for customer deployments from first prototype to production.
- Build and maintain data pipelines (Python + SQL) that integrate marketing, product, and revenue data.
- Develop and iterate on analytical and ML workflows (experiments, causal analysis, forecasting, response curves).
- Turn analyses into reliable jobs or small services, not one-off notebooks.
- Work directly with customers to understand problems, translate them into clear technical work, and present results and recommendations.
- Design and evaluate experiments (geo holdouts, incrementality tests) with clear metrics and interpretation.
- Generalize common patterns into reusable tools, templates, or product features.
- Collaborate with core engineering on APIs, data models, and backend components needed for smoother deployments.
