• Troubleshoot data or integration issues quickly and effectively in coordination with internal and customer teams
• Calibrate optimization and simulation models to reflect real-world operational constraints and customer objectives
• Collaborate with Solutions Engineers to translate solution design documents into and executable platform configurations
• Iterate on model parameters and technical settings based on output validation, performance metrics, and user feedback
• Validate that optimization recommendations align with expected outcomes and customer business rules

Project Collaboration & Business Alignment

• Partner with Solutions Engineers to align data and model configurations with solution intent as a core technical lead on projects
• Participate in project planning, milestone tracking, and customer meetings, ensuring transparency and alignment
• Provide clear documentation of data flows, configurations, and technical decisions to support knowledge transfer and scaling
• Support feedback loops between Customer Success, Product, & Engineering teams

Post-Deployment Monitoring & Optimization

• Monitor system performance and model behavior during and after deployment to ensure solution effectiveness
• Identify calibration or integration updates based on operational feedback and observed data patterns
• Provide technical support to transitioned customers, including troubleshooting issues and resolving support tickets in coordination with the Customer Support team
• Serve as an escalation point for complex platform-related issues post-deployment
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of our deployment frameworks, tooling, and playbooks
