Nature of the Company

• Work intensely when you’re at work; don’t work when you’re not at work

• Turn Slack and email notifications off

• Take pride in your work

• Direct, candid, and respectful feedback

• We flex on scope, not deadlines à la Shape Up and other writing from 37Signals/Basecamp

• We have small offices in California, Oklahoma, and New York (you will be the first person in a DC office)

Experience

• Requirements:

  • You must love teaching! If you’re on the fence about teaching, read no further.

  • Strong technical skills: Python, TS/JS, using LLMs in data pipelines and applications, Spark, containerization, unit and integration testing, observability & monitoring

    • In other words, at many companies you would fit in as a developer

  • Be one of the following:

    • Former Palantir FDE or technical data strategist (we're looking for a "Delta" or a very strong "Techo")

    • Foundry user with 3+ years experience delivering 2-3 enterprise use cases

    • 10+ years experience in a"data-driven" industry across business domains with experience delivering end-to-end technical solutions from use case design to technical implementation

• Nice to have:

  • Full-stack development skills (e.g. an app powered by React + FastAPI + Postgres -- but we're not picky about the tech stack)

  • Machine Learning experience

  • Foreign language skills, especially Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish

Additional Skills

• Effective written and oral communication skills

  • You write and speak clearly

  • You can identify what matters for a non-technical user and succinctly explain what they need to know in terms that make sense to them

    • e.g., an executive who needs to make a decision based on your input

  • You proactively communicate about what you’re doing — this is habitual for you

  • You can disagree and navigate conflict respectfully and in a manner that puts the team’s goals first

• High degree of autonomy (i.e., don’t wait for work to come to you)

• You're always learning new things. What was the last new technology you learned?

Travel

This role will require domestic and international travel for in-person trainings and periodic internal company events.

An in-person training typically lasts four days at the customer's office. This role is expected to cover in-person trainings primarily in the broader DC area, but occasional travel may be required to other places.
