More about this role
At Vori, Forward Deployed Data Engineers bridge the gap between customer systems and our modern grocery platform. You’ll work closely with onboarding managers to configure Vori for each retailer’s unique needs—reducing out-of-stocks, cutting shrink, and driving efficiency.
As one of the Founding Forward Deployed Data Engineers , you won’t just be implementing processes—you’ll be defining them from the ground up . You’ll create the playbooks, data pipelines, and integration systems that allow Vori to scale from our first customers to thousands of stores.
This role is hands-on with data. You’ll wrangle item files and invoices from POS systems, back-office tools, and ERPs—in formats ranging from CSV and EDI to PDFs and even scanned paper—and connect them seamlessly into Vori. Fluency with SQL and data manipulation is essential.
We’re looking for motivated, detail-oriented engineers who thrive at the intersection of people, data, and infrastructure. If you love solving messy integration problems, collaborating with customers, and making technology work in the real world, you’ll feel right at home at Vori.
