Description:
As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer at Northslope, you will be responsible for helping our customers solve their most valuable problems, working closely with stakeholders to conceive, architect, build, and maintain applications that make a measurable impact on their business. Day to day, you’ll understand a customer’s most critical objectives and build operationalized workflows on their enterprise data that end users actually use to make change within the business. You’ll iterate quickly, build from scratch, and help organizations transform their operations at uncommon speed. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you won’t just ship code - you’ll help reshape how entire organizations work by putting powerful tools in the hands of executives and real operators.
What We Look For
- An obsession with helping your customer win, even when it goes beyond the original “scope”. You eat hard customer problems for breakfast and take pride in delivering solutions that actually drive value.
- Strong analytical abilities and problem-solving aptitude. You love breaking down complex problems and building end-to-end solutions that actually work.
- Proficiency in Python and/or Typescript. We build in these languages everyday.
- Ability to work independently and own outcomes autonomously. You'll always have support, but we're looking for teammates who want to be in the driver's seat and fully own their work.
- Demonstrated ability to build applications that use large structured and unstructured datasets in a production environment. We take a customer's data and make it valuable to them - this is our bread and butter.
- A track record of delivering real-world outcomes with code. As a software engineer, data scientist, or deeply technical analytics lead, you've helped an organization up its game through the software you've written and/or the analytical products you've built.
- Strong ability to collaborate with internal and external teammates with varying levels of technical proficiency. We embed with our customers and join their teams, you'll need both technical and people skills to succeed.
- Willingness to travel as-needed for client implementation work. Every project is different, but typically projects involve travel 10-33% of the time.
- Enthusiasm for working hybrid-in-person at our London, New York, Washington D.C or Denver offices and onsite with our customers.
