- Work directly with customer data to configure integrations, workflows, and AI agents
- Support post-sale adoption by partnering with engineering on integrations and implementations
- Use AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code) to build lightweight internal tools and demo interfaces
- Translate customer insights into product and engineering feedback loops
Key Requirements
- 3–8 years in a technical, customer-facing role (SE, SA, TAM, implementation engineer, or similar)
- Experience at a startup or AI-native company (e.g., Databricks, Retool, dbt, n8n, C3 AI)
- Strong hands-on ability with SQL, Python, APIs, and data workflows
- Familiarity with AI/ML concepts (RAG, embeddings, LLMs, vector databases, agents)
- Experience working with messy data (PDFs, Excel, unstructured sources)
- Strong communication skills with a revenue-oriented mindset
What We’re Looking For
- Builders with startup experience and high ownership mindset
- Engineers who enjoy working directly with customers and business impact
- Candidates comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Individuals excited to build a technical GTM function from scratch
Nice to Have
- Experience in financial services (asset management, private equity, private credit)
- Exposure to enterprise AI or data platforms
- SWE background with transition into customer-facing roles
Compensation & Benefits
- Base Salary: $150K–$275K
