## About the role

We’re hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer — one of the highest-leverage roles on the team. You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and customers — working directly with scientists, ML teams, and pharma stakeholders to deploy Tamarind into real-world workflows. This role owns the full arc: from first technical conversation → pilot → production deployment. Every deployment becomes a product signal, a reference customer, and a revenue driver. The customer relationship moves at the speed you move.

- Experience working with AI/ML systems or data pipelines
- Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Strong communication skills — able to interface with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Willingness to work onsite in San Francisco
