Requirements

Comfortable working in ambiguity. Customer problems are messy and underspecified. You figure it out

High customer empathy. You enjoy sitting with users, understanding their workflows, and translating pain points into technical solutions

Fast and pragmatic. You prototype, validate, and ship in days and weeks, not quarters

Strong communicator. You are the primary technical point of contact for the customer. You can talk to both engineers and executives

Experience with data integrations, ETL pipelines, or enterprise data systems (S3, Snowflake, SharePoint, etc.) is a plus

Experience with LLMs, RAG systems, or applied AI is a plus but not required

Prior experience in finance, legal, or consulting domains is a plus
