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).
