[Hiring] Forward Deployed Engineer @Clarasight

Role Description

We are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to sit within Engineering but spend most of their time in pre-sales and strategic customer engagements, working closely with Sales and Customer Success. This is a build-and-own role:

• Lead technical discovery with prospects and customers.
• Architect and prototype integrations and AI workflows during live sales cycles.
• Reconcile messy low-quality enterprise datasets.
• Contribute directly to Clarasight's full-stack production codebase.
• Turn customer-specific solutions into scalable product capabilities.

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years in software engineering, data engineering, or technical consulting.
• Track record of delivering in ambiguous, high-ownership environments.
• Experience contributing to production codebases without hesitation.
• Meaningful experience wrangling messy enterprise data.
• Clear communication across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to move fast and prioritize outcomes over credit.

Requirements

• Own the technical relationship from first discovery call through contract close.
• Collaborate with the data science team to translate ambiguous, high-pressure business problems into working prototypes and clear technical narratives.
• Design and build pipelines across fragmented travel, financial, and expense systems.
• Get hands-on with messy, low-quality enterprise data: reconciling, validating, and shaping it into something reliable.
• Build frameworks that last, not workarounds that don't.
• Apply AI where it genuinely creates advantage: enrichment, anomaly detection, forecasting, automation.
• Turn experiments into repeatable, scalable workflows.
• Feed structured learnings directly into Product.
• Turn the best customer-specific solutions into part of the platform.

Benefits

• Generous equity in an early-stage company with serious commercial traction.
• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• $500 annual sustainability benefit.
• Direct exposure to a seasoned leadership team.
• A role that grows in scope, responsibility, and compensation as we do.
