[Hiring] Solutions Engineer @Protege

5d ago - Protege is hiring a remote Solutions Engineer. 💸 Salary: unspecified 📍Location: USA

Role Description

We’re hiring a Solutions Engineer for our media vertical to connect Protege’s media catalog with customer AI data needs. This is not a traditional modeling role. It is an applied data curation and delivery role for fast-moving, ambiguous environments where both speed and quality matter.

  • Own data quality and curate media datasets
  • Partner with Sales and Solutions to translate customer requirements into curation strategies
  • Work with imperfect partner data, including mismatched metadata, schema differences, and incomplete labeling
  • Normalize and standardize datasets for reliable downstream use
  • Query and analyze Protege’s media catalog using SQL, internal APIs, and metadata tools to identify relevant content
  • Build validation checks and workflows to ensure dataset integrity before delivery
  • Identify, debug, and resolve data quality issues across file structures, metadata, and content alignment
  • Use AI tools and transcoded embeddings to surface and refine clip-level content
  • Turn messy, real-world data into structured datasets that meet customer and model requirements
  • Run iterative sample reviews with customers, incorporate feedback, refine selections, and ensure final packages meet spec
  • Be the catalog expert
  • Build deep expertise in Protege’s media catalog structure, metadata, and growth patterns
  • Track content coverage, diversity, and modality mix, and identify gaps relative to customer demand
  • Partner with Product and Partnerships to share catalog insights that inform sourcing priorities
  • Operate across product, data, and customer
  • Work cross-functionally to ensure content packaging meets technical, ethical, and licensing requirements
  • Develop methods, scripts, and internal tools that improve curation efficiency and scale
  • Help shape Protege’s delivery platform, including how internal users and customers search, sample, and export data
  • Drive human-in-the-loop media search and curation
  • Work closely with embedding-based systems to iterate between algorithmic selection and human review
  • Define best practices for embedding queries, relevance evaluation, and content diversity
  • Maintain a high bar for operational excellence and quality assurance throughout the process

Qualifications

  • 4-7 years of experience in data science, media analytics, technical curation, or similarly hands-on data roles
  • Strong SQL proficiency and comfort querying large, messy datasets to generate insight and action
  • Experience working with media metadata, embeddings, or unstructured content
  • Ability to translate nuanced customer or model requirements into concrete dataset specifications
  • High standard for data quality, operational rigor, and usability of delivered outputs
  • Clear communicator who can move between technical depth and customer-friendly clarity
  • Thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and treats teammates with kindness

Bonus if you also have:

  • Familiarity with video/audio processing, embeddings, or multimodal AI workflows
  • Prior experience curating or packaging datasets for machine learning
  • Background in content analysis, recommendation systems, or information retrieval

What Success Looks Like

  • 30 days: Learn and get operational
  • Build a working understanding of the media catalog, delivery lifecycle, and core tools
  • Establish strong cross-functional relationships and shadow live curation workflows
  • 60 days: Deliver and improve
  • Lead dataset sampling and curation for active use cases, and document reusable workflows
  • Surface early insights on catalog coverage, metadata quality, and process improvements
  • 90 days: Scale and influence
  • Create repeatable QA and delivery workflows that increase consistency and speed
  • Provide actionable feedback that shapes platform, sourcing, and catalog roadmap decisions

Working with Protege

  • We move fast - thoughtfully
  • Speed matters in what we're building, but so does intention
  • We're a lean, high-trust team
  • Everyone has real ownership. Clarity and autonomy drive our best work
  • We take our work seriously, not ourselves
  • We solve hard problems with humility and celebrate wins - big and small
  • We're kind, direct, and inclusive
  • We give feedback early and often, with the goal of helping one another grow
  • We're builders at heart
  • Every person at Protege is hands-on, resourceful, and focused on creating momentum
  • We grow fast - together
  • You'll be surrounded by people who care about impact, who challenge you to think bigger, and who are genuinely excited about what comes next
