A data engineer/scientist who can own technical scientific delivery and communication for customer missions end-to-end, and who can grow into a role combining operations, engineering, and product.
CarbonFarm’s work combines remote sensing data, agricultural data and machine learning. We work closely with worldwide customers to turn complex carbon projects into reliable and valuable outcomes, while feeding what we learn back into product and engineering.
About the role
We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to apply our models to each client project, adapting each time to the reality on the ground.
This role sits at the intersection of data science, engineering, and customer delivery operations. You will work closely with operations, engineering, product, and R&D to deploy and adapt CarbonFarm’s technical capabilities. That includes everything from running data pipelines and validating model outputs to shaping requirements and helping identify what should become part of the core product.
On the client-facing front, you will be working closely with our Customer Success Managers. They will manage client expectations. You will help translate client needs into technical delivery requirements and intervene in client communication when things get too technical.
This is not a consulting role. We are looking for someone who is comfortable working directly with data, code, and technical systems, and who can bridge the communication gap between a technical product and the real world in which our clients operate.
