Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to lead AI deployments at consumer brands and solve the data and business problems they've never been able to crack. You think like a CPG operator and a product person, and you build with AI every day.

The role

Every company is trying to deploy AI, and most consumer brands stall on the hard part: messy data and business problems nobody has cracked. As an FDE, you walk into a brand as the lead for its AI deployment and solve a problem it has never been able to solve.

You own a set of brands from kickoff until their team runs real work in Drivepoint without us. Depending on the customer, you may stay on as their partner through the year: new problems, new workflows, renewal and expansion. You report to our Head of Product and work hybrid in New York City.

What you'll do

• Solve the hard data problems. Shopify orders that don't tie to the books, a channel counted twice, retailer data that arrives as five different files, SKUs named three ways. You find out why, fix it, and make the numbers trusted. • Crack business problems they've never answered. Which retailer actually makes money after trade spend? Can we call this month's wholesale close from open POs before it hits the books? Where is cash stuck in inventory? You frame the question, find the data that answers it, and get the answer into their hands. • Lead the engagement. Open every session with an agenda and what the customer will walk away…
