SAYARI FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEERING | JOB DESCRIPTION Forward Deployed Engineer I About Sayari Sayari is the judgment infrastructure for trustworthy AI in economic security and commercial risk. The Sayari Commercial World Model resolves 11.7B+ primary-source records from 250+ jurisdictions forming the ground truth of global commerce. A Judgment Ontology, encoding over a decade of investigative tradecraft, and Superconductor, an agentic orchestration platform, deliver AI that reasons like an expert analyst, shows its work, and traces every finding to its source.

The Role Sayari’s customers run risk screening, graph analytics and investigation workflows, and data integrations (APIs and feeds) on the Commercial World Model. Those deployments have to work on day one and keep working. As a Forward Deployed Engineer I, you own that outcome. You scope the problem with the customer, prove it technically, ship it, and keep the account healthy after go-live. The same engineer scopes the work and delivers it. This is not a ticket queue. You receive direction, not a script. You work across a portfolio of accounts rather than embedding in one, so the role rewards engineers who move fast, document as they go, and leave every deployment in a state another engineer can pick up. Opportunity to contribute to Sayari’s agentic platform. What You’ll Do • Scope and prove: run technical scoping and evaluation with customer teams, and confirm Sayari fits the workflow before delivery starts. • Implement: deploy risk screening, graph analytics and investigation workflows, and data integrations (APIs and feeds). Write production Python and SQL to do it. • Deliver data: execute bulk data cuts and formatted data products (Parquet, CSV), set up and support API endpoints, and onboard customer pipelines: environment setup, data validation, integration testing. • Keep deployments healthy: monitor usage and pipeline status, build dashboards that give customers and internal teams clear visibility, and resolve issues before they become churn risk. • Build the playbook: follow and improve delivery playbooks and SOPs. Document your work clearly enough that another engineer can pick it up without a handoff call. • Feed the product: bring recurring customer needs and field findings back to core engineering. What We’re Looking For Required • 3 to 5 years in a client-facing technical role (forward deployed engineering, sales engineering, technical delivery, or technical consulting). • Production Python, including the data manipulation ecosystem (Pandas). • Deep SQL: writing and optimizing complex queries. • Hands-on experience integrating, testing, and supporting
