Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

What You'll Do

• Lead complex forward-deployed engagements from discovery through production adoption
• Architect custom systems across AI, forecasting, optimization, simulation, and decision-support workflows
• Design application patterns that connect Maybern's platform to customer-specific logic, data, and operating processes
• Build evaluation, control, and validation frameworks for high-stakes outputs
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior customer stakeholders
• Mentor engineers across the Forward Deployed Engineering team
• Identify when bespoke work should become reusable product capability or shared platform infrastructure
• Help define standards, technical direction, and operating practices for the function

Who You Are

• Architect. You design application patterns that connect platform, customer logic, and data — picking the right level of rigor for the stakes.
• Customer Partner. You serve as a trusted advisor to senior customer stakeholders and translate rigor without losing precision.
• Mentor. You raise the bar on technical execution and help define the standards, tooling, and direction of the function.
• High-Standards Builder. You hold a high bar for clarity and reliability in domains where approximation isn't enough.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in software engineering, machine learning, quantitative systems, applied research, or forward-deployed technical work with significant ownership
• Strong record of leading ambiguous, customer-facing technical initiatives
• Deep strength in Python, SQL, system design, and analytical application architecture
• Strong applied AI or ML experience, with clear attention to evaluation, reliability, and real-world deployment
• Deep quantitative reasoning across modeling, inference, optimization, simulation, statistics, or decision systems
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management
• Strong taste in balancing speed, rigor, and trust in high-stakes environments

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with the Snowflake AI Data Platform as a strong starting point for architecting data, analytics, and AI workflows
• Experience designing custom applications in finance, capital markets, enterprise decision systems, or similarly complex domains
• Experience with optimization, probabilistic systems, simulation engines, or mathematical modeling platforms
• Experience with formal verification, theorem proving, formal methods, or machine-checkable logic
• Experience turning bespoke customer systems into reusable product or platform primitives
• Experience mentoring engineers and raising the bar on technical execution
• Private markets experience
