  • Produce reusable demos, implementations, checklists, workflows, best practices, and concise instructional videos that enable Presales, Delivery, Partners, and customers to leverage your learnings.
  • Diagnose and resolve AI solution field issues; document decisions and trade-offs; support Delivery and Partner teams with structured guidance.
  • Collaborate with AI Delivery to harden solutions for production and with AI Engineering to channel learnings and product gaps back into roadmaps.
  • Engage directly with finance and data teams; work with partner FDEs to increase capability and consistency across the ecosystem; facilitate workshops and office hours.

Required Education and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, data science, or relevant combination of education and experience.
  • 0-2 years of software engineering experience, with a focus on data science, AI, or machine learning concepts.
  • 1-2 years of industry experience in Applied Artificial Intelligence and/or Machine Learning.
  • 1-3 years of experience delivering/implementing enterprise software solutions in FP&A/CPM/EPM or data/AI platforms, including at least 1 year in customer-facing build roles.
  • Demonstrated success contributing to POCs or early implementations that transitioned to scaled rollout or productized assets.
  • Strong SQL; data modeling and ETL/ELT; REST APIs, identity/security basics.
  • Experience in Python and/or C#; automation and packaging; familiarity with containerization is a plus.
  • Experience in producing insightful data visualizations of complex concepts and dataset.

Preferred Education and Experience
  • Direct experience with OneStream implementations or building Genesis Blocks / Marketplace content.
  • Direct experience within a prior Forward Deployed Engineering role.


Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
  • Translate complex technical concepts into business value for finance stakeholders.
  • Depth in one or more areas (e.g., forecasting, LLM apps, CPM modeling) with breadth across data, integrations, and platform operations.
  • Hypothesis-driven approach; comfort operating with ambiguity; strong documentation and diagramming habits.
  • Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Delivery, CS, Presales, and Partners; give/receive design feedback.
  • Design for reuse; produce assets others can adopt; contribute to internal standards.
  • Apply data privacy and governance guidelines in solution design.
  • Comfortable engaging and presenting to management level executives from time to time.
