Sayari - Forward Deployed Engineer II (Remote, US)
Requirements
• 5+ years in a client-facing technical role (forward deployed engineering, sales engineering, or technical consulting). • 7-8+ total years of experience working in software engineering and/or solutions consulting • A record of owning strategic deployments end to end, from technical win to production. • Production Python, including the data manipulation ecosystem (Pandas). Deep experience having worked with SQL. Hands-on experience integrating and reasoning about REST APIs. • Building and deploying on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with containers (Docker, Kubernetes). • You are a technology polyglot, you have worked across multiple tech stacks and enjoy getting the opportunity to navigate different coding languages, frameworks, and systems. • AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude, or similar) as a daily part of how you work. • Executive communication. You articulate technical concepts with clarity and conviction to engineers, analysts, and senior leaders alike. • Problem solving in ambiguity, and the drive to parachute into new environments and learn new technologies on the fly. • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical field. • Hands-on experience building agentic or LLM systems: orchestration, tool use, retrieval, evaluation. • Sovereign, air-gapped, or government cloud deployments. • Modern data stack (Snowflake, Databricks) and workflow orchestrators (Airflow, Prefect). • Graph data technologies and their query languages. • Exposure to ML, NLP, or entity resolution. • Experience in high-stakes domains: AML and financial crime, supply chain risk, or national security. • How You Work • You operate with extreme ownership. You build the bridge rather than flag the gap. You prefer a working prototype to a slide about one. You can scrap a month of work when the mission changes without losing momentum, and you hold yourself accountable for the outcome, not the activity. • Logistics • Travel and in-office time: 25 to 30% combined. • Limitless growth and learning opportunities.
Responsibilities
• Win the technical evaluation: design and run demos, proofs of concept, and trials that prove the platform on the customer’s own data. Define success criteria with the customer and hit them. • Win the technical evaluation: • Deploy the agentic platform: build agents, tools, and integrations on Sayari’s agentic platform inside the customer’s environment, and take them from trial to production. • Deploy the agentic platform: • Embed and build: ship production Python, SQL, and integrations into customer persistence layers and analytics stacks. • Embed and build: • Own the relationship: serve as the primary technical authority for the account. Brief executives, analysts, and mission owners on outcomes. • Own the relationship: • Triage and feed engineering: decide what is bespoke, what is reusable, and what belongs in the platform. Document capability gaps and drive them into the roadmap. • Triage and feed engineering: • Raise the bar: set delivery standards and review work for other engineers on your accounts. • Raise the bar:
