Beacon's robust asynchronous work practices ensure a first-class remote work experience, but we also have in-person office hubs in Boston, New York City and Paris.
What success looks like:

 * You work directly with external partners and customers to understand their data needs, analytical workflows, and technical constraints, and translate those into concrete solutions built on Beacon's Datastore
 * You lead technical conversations with partner engineers and data teams, supporting API integrations, successful adoption of data access patterns and practices, and downstream analytics
 * You design and implement solutions for customers, sometimes on the Beacon platform and sometimes on the customer's platform, to kickstart and expedite integration and provide examples that showcase and validate Beacon's data
 * You collaborate with the rest of the Datastore team to develop internal tools, queries, and workflows that improve observability, troubleshooting, and resolution of client data issues
 * You leverage feedback from partners and internal stakeholders to improve documentation, APIs, data models, and operational processes
 * You are comfortable with ambiguity and balance pragmatism with rigor, delivering solutions quickly while maintaining high standards for data integrity, correctness, and maintainability
