## About the Role

Cloud Computing, Startup, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Develop and Maintain Customers, Data Collection, Prototyping, Product Demonstration, Fortune 500 Customers, Sales Closing Skills, Customer Relations, * An entrepreneurial mindset: you find the problem, take ownership of the outcome, and don''t wait for permission or perfect requirements. Founding or building something from scratch is a strong plus.

 * 8+ years of hands-on experience across data engineering, software engineering, solutions engineering, or forward deployed engineering.
 * Deep data engineering background: you''ve built and operated data pipelines and ingestion systems at scale, and you know modern data architectures (lakehouse, open table formats, Iceberg) well enough to know where they break.
 * Experience with semantic layers, data modeling, data cataloging, or knowledge and context graphs: making data meaningful and trustworthy for machines, not just queryable.
 * Hands-on experience with Generative AI: LLM applications, agents, RAG, text-to-SQL, and AI-powered workflows over enterprise data.

You build fast with limited guidance, and you''re proud of what you ship.

You communicate like an owner: clear, direct, and credible with executive and C-level stakeholders.

Prior FDE experience is a plus, not a requirement.
