Job description

About the Role

This is a Forward Deployed Engineer role at a YC-backed AI startup building agentic software for the acquisitions and M&A space. You will work directly with customers to translate complex, real-world business problems into scalable software solutions, sitting at the intersection of product and go-to-market on a lean team with direct C-suite visibility.

What You'll Do

  • Own customer deployments end-to-end, covering scoping, business logic translation, data ingestion, pipeline delivery, and ongoing optimization for mid-market to large-cap operators.

  • Build and extend an agentic AI platform in close collaboration with the core software engineering team.

  • Translate messy, real-world business requirements into autonomous software solutions.

  • Support go-to-market efforts by joining sales calls and surfacing customer expansion opportunities.

  • Work with high autonomy on analytical challenges that require both technical depth and strong business judgment.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of professional experience in consulting, finance, data engineering, or analytics, ideally combining domain expertise with a desire to grow technical or customer-facing skills.

  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with hands-on experience in data warehousing, ETL, and data modeling.

  • Experience building and deploying data pipelines, migration pipelines, or data integration systems end-to-end.

  • Familiarity with data warehousing tools such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift.

  • Hands-on experience building with LLM APIs and AI tools (for example, OpenAI, Anthropic, or LangChain), including personal projects.

  • Excellent communication skills and business acumen, comfortable engaging with operators and finance leaders, not just engineers.

  • Exposure to private equity, roll-ups, M&A, or holding company operations is a plus.

  • US citizenship required; visa sponsorship is not available.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $110,000 to $150,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
