p We are looking for a highly analytical and customer-obsessed strong Forward Deployed Analytics Engineer /strong to bridge the gap between our customers' complex legacy reporting environments and the future of agentic data exploration.

More importantly, you will architect and maintain the underlying context and semantic layers that power our chat-based reporting features. You will ensure that when a marketer asks our AI an ad-hoc reporting question, the system generates SQL that is not only accurate but highly reliable, idempotent, and perfectly aligned with the customer's unique business definitions. /p
