About the Role

This role is for an analytics professional excited about AI's potential in data utilization. You will secure technical wins, embed in major deployments, and act as a public voice for the company, sharing insights with the broader data community through practical, credible perspectives.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical evaluation with prospects and partners, including demos and proofs of concept.
  • Answer hard architectural questions about governance and modern stack integration.
  • Model data in the platform and build initial analyses for enterprise customers.
  • Drive deployments to genuine adoption within customer environments.
  • Share learnings with the wider data community through talks, videos, and how-tos.
  • Collaborate with product teams to communicate new releases and features.
  • Become a deep technical expert on the platform.
  • Lead product demonstrations.
  • Build proofs of concept against customer environments.
  • Help teams understand how the platform fits into modern data stacks.
  • Answer questions about architecture, governance, security, and performance.
  • Work directly inside customer environments to ensure success with the platform.
  • Establish semantic models and help customers adopt the platform.
  • Build on top of modern data platforms using SQL, warehouse architecture, semantic modeling, and analytics engineering best practices.
  • Uncover friction, challenge assumptions, and imagine better ways to build analytics.
  • Identify bugs and patterns across deployments to drive product improvements.
  • Write product requirements, sketch workflows, and build prototypes.
  • Partner with engineering and design to shape future product development.
  • Understand customer problems and contribute to solutioning.
  • Share learnings through speaking at conferences, publishing technical blogs, creating videos, and contributing examples.
  • Establish the company as a trusted voice in the data community.
  • Build demo environments, POC playbooks, and the engagement model.
  • Develop discovery-driven demos that go beyond the happy path.
  • Handle technical objections and competitive positioning against legacy BI incumbents.
  • Create content that teaches, not markets, such as blog posts, training videos, and walkthroughs.
  • Represent the company in webinars, community threads, and meetups.

Requirements

  • Senior-level experience in solutions engineering, sales engineering, analytics engineering, forward deployed engineering, or a technical field role owning the technical win.
  • Fluency with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery) and the modern data stack (dbt, semantic layers, analytics engineering workflow).
  • Strong SQL skills and a working understanding of analytics construction, governance, and troubleshooting.
  • Comfort living in SQL and a warehouse daily, even with a software engineering background.
  • A visible instinct to teach and share.
  • A genuine appetite to build a public voice under your own name.
  • Comfort with pre-GA ambiguity.
  • Drive to build a function from scratch.
  • Existing following or content footprint in the data community (nice to have).
  • Background at a BI or analytics vendor (nice to have).
  • Hands-on time as an analyst, analytics engineer, or forward deployed engineer (nice to have).
  • Experience with a forward deployed or embedded delivery model at an early-stage company (nice to have).
