Forward Deployed Data Engineer
Datafold, New York, New York +1
The role
Datafold is hiring a Forward Deployed Data Engineer to own the delivery of our AI-automated data platform migration projects. This is a high-ownership, customer-facing role at the intersection of data engineering, AI, and project leadership.
As a Forward Deployed Data Engineer leveraging Datafold's AI technology, you will own migration projects end-to-end, gain deep understanding of the customer's data platform, manage execution of the project, and remove any blockers on the way for a timely migration delivery.
Using our proprietary AI tooling to plan and deliver the migration projects, you will be doing the work equivalent to a full team of consultants.
What you will do
- Own 1–4 concurrent migration projects end-to-end: scoping, planning, execution, and customer handoff
- Be the primary customer contact: run weekly check-ins, manage stakeholder expectations, and escalate risks early before they compound
