JOB-1963
A profitable, self-funded consumer-insights company serving household-name consumer brands needs a forward deployed engineer to own how client data enters its platform and how much value clients get from it. The hire takes the toughest data work away from the CTO so he can concentrate on strategy, in an early role with wide freedom to define the job.
What you’ll own
- Lead historical data migrations, pulling in multi-year research archives held in third-party systems and tracking how the wording and choices in each survey evolved across waves
- Build backcasting models with researchers so past data aligns with live tracking and trends remain comparable
- Use AI and scripting to replace laborious hand-done data intake, checking and analysis with reusable frameworks
- Run client-facing projects from kickoff to delivery, increasingly for enterprise customers, figuring out what each one needs and bringing in the right colleagues
- Use the product intensively to spot gaps, fix bugs in TypeScript, React and Node, and cover analysis needs with R, Python or SQL
What you bring
- Five to ten years in a technical, client-facing role such as forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, data engineering or technical consulting
- Experience ingesting, cleaning and modeling messy data whose structure drifts over time
- Strong SQL and PostgreSQL plus Python, and early-stage startup experience with high ownership
- Grit with painful integrations, an outcomes focus, and the ability to lead projects with little direction
- Flexible hours to cover clients and researchers on both coasts; survey or market research data a plus
Remote within the United States. Unable to offer visa sponsorship or transfers.
