About this role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer with 3-8 years of experience to own the technical customer relationship at a $50M Series A AI data platform for investors. You'll embed directly with private equity, private credit, and venture capital firms — building custom integrations on their data, demoing complex data infrastructure to C-level stakeholders, and driving real outcomes alongside our founders and engineers.

What will you be doing?

Build and demo custom solutions on customer data — connecting structured and unstructured sources (PDFs, Excel, databases), running data reconciliation, and building compelling front-ends on top

Own pre-sales technical work: build reusable demo environments, run private demos on prospect data, and support deal strategy

Post-sales: work alongside engineers on lighter-weight implementations, data integrations, evals, and customer feedback loops

Drive technical relationship management — sit with analysts at PE firms, understand their workflows, and translate patterns into product improvements

Act as the voice of the customer, identifying what should be productized vs. one-off

What happens next

Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.

Confirm the fit

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

I pitch you to the company

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

A meeting lands on your calendar

When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
