Responsibilities

Requirements

  • 5+ years in a customer-facing technical role: forward deployed engineering, solutions or sales engineering, analytics engineering, professional services, or similar.

  • Direct experience with cloud data platforms: Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, a related field, or equivalent technical and business experience.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Sigma or comparable analytics platforms such as Tableau, Looker, or Power BI.
  • ETL and transformation experience with tools like Fivetran, dbt, or Matillion.
  • Experience embedding analytics into customer-facing applications.
  • Hands-on work with enterprise data governance and security requirements.
  • Most analytics tools copy data out of the warehouse and work on a cached version.
  • Sigma runs directly on the data platform, so data is always live, security policies are always enforced, and nothing breaks when the source changes.
  • As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll be the person who proves that out inside our most important accounts, and you'll help define how Sigma shows up in the field as the team grows.
