## About the role

As Materialize's first Forward Deployed Engineer, you embed with a small number of our most strategic customers and help them build end-to-end solutions with Materialize at the core. You'll join our Go-To-Market organization, partnering with Account Executives and Field Engineering to take engineering-led organizations, customers like Notion, General Mills, Bilt Rewards, and Crane Worldwide Logistics, from signed contract to live deployment, and then to the use case after that. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Strong SQL and a solid understanding of modern data architectures: relational databases, event streaming, and change data capture
- Hands-on experience with streaming or event-driven systems (Kafka, Debezium/CDC, Kinesis, Flink, Spark Streaming, or similar)
- You write code. Proficiency in at least one of Python, Java, or TypeScript for building integrations and tooling
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerized environments
- You've taken systems from prototype to production in someone else's environment, including the unglamorous parts: performance tuning, failure modes, monitoring, and handoff
- Comfortable owning ambiguous, high-stakes technical problems with incomplete information, and moving without a large support structure
