## About the role

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to own solution design and implementation for our Identity Resolution (IDR) product. This role is a blend of data analytics and data engineering, and is an opportunity to work directly with data, marketing, and executive teams at household-name companies. You'll spend time working with the customer to learn about their data architecture, reason about how Hightouch can accomplish their goals, set up deployments, and debug issues.

## What they're looking for

- Systems thinking : You can reason about how identity graphs behave at scale, understand trade-offs between different architecture choices, and anticipate downstream consequences of design decisions
- Consultative communication : You can run a discovery call, ask the right questions to understand requirements, and explain technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Systematic debugging mindset : You naturally form hypotheses, test them, and document findings. When you see "missing data," you think through timestamps, model definitions, and PK validity before jumping to conclusions
- 2-4 years in an analytics engineering, solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or implementation role —ideally at a data infrastructure, CDP, or B2B SaaS company
