After doubling our customer base over the past year, we’re now entering an exciting phase of accelerated growth. About the Role SewerAI is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Engineering team. This role sits at the intersection of customer discovery, project management, and deep technical execution — and is critical to ensuring customers successfully deploy, integrate, and operationalize our platform within their existing systems and workflows. You'll own complex implementations end-to-end: data migrations, ETL workflows, scripting, API integrations, SaaS-to-SaaS connectivity, and system configuration — often working with large, inconsistent, and imperfect datasets across multiple systems. Success here requires strong problem-solving, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, practical guidance for customers.

manage customer expectations throughout Project Management & Implementation Delivery - Own Professional Services projects from kickoff through final delivery - Drive timelines, milestones, and cross-team coordination - Maintain detailed documentation of configurations, mappings, and integrations - Take full ownership of outcomes — data correctness, system behavior, and usability - Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders Data Migration, ETL, Scripting & Integrations - Perform data imports, exports, and transformations between systems - Design and execute ETL workflows for structured and semi-structured data - Write scripts to automate data transformation, validation, and migration tasks - Build and manage ingestion pipelines for files, databases, APIs, and media datasets - Integrate systems using APIs, webhooks, and custom scripts - Configure SaaS-to-SaaS integrations and automation workflows - Work across tools including AWS (S3, Lambda, IAM), REST APIs, Temporal (or similar orchestration), Zapier/Celigo, and SQL/CSV/JSON/media datasets Data Mapping, Validation & Reconciliation - Define field-level mappings between legacy systems and platform data models - Reconcile source and target schema differences; ensure referential integrity - Handle real-world data issues: missing fields, inconsistent formats, duplicates, schema drift - Validate data through sampling, QA checks, and full-scale verification - Troubleshoot mismatches across files, metadata, APIs, and database records - Execute staged migrations and validation before full production rollout Customer-Facing Technical Consulting - Engage directly with customer technical teams, managers, and stakeholders - Explain technical topics in clear, practical terms - Guide customers on best practices for data structure, workflows, and integrations - Recommend implementation approaches based on real-world constraints - Push back on infeasible solutions with clear reasoning and alternatives - Serve as the trusted technical advisor through onboarding, expansion, and complex deployments Internal Collaboration & Tooling - Partner with Product, Engineering, Customer Enablement, and Support - Build scripts, utilities, and templates to improve implementation efficiency - Create repeatable patterns for migrations, integrations, and onboarding - Contribute to internal documentation and playbooks - Provide product feedback based on real customer use cases - Help scale Professional Services delivery through better tooling and automation What We're Looking For Required Experience - 4+ years in Professional Services, Solutions Engineering, Implementation Engineering, or a similar customer-facing technical role - Proven track record managing end-to-end technical implementations or migrations - Experience working directly with customers in technical environments - Strong problem-solving ability in ambiguous, real-world situations - Clear communicator with both technical and non-technical audiences Required Technical Skills - Scripting experience — Python, JavaScript, Bash, or similar - Strong SQL and relational database fundamentals - ETL workflows and data migration experience - API and system integration experience - Comfort working with large, inconsistent, or unstructured datasets - Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) - Ability to troubleshoot across multiple systems (DB, API, files, UI) - Experience automating workflows or data processes - Experience with AI code tools Nice to Have - GIS, asset management, or infrastructure software experience - Legacy system data migration experience - Large-scale data ingestion or media dataset experience - SaaS or high-growth startup environment experience - Enterprise customer support experience What Success Looks Like - Complex implementations delivered on time and trusted by customers - Data migrations that are accurate, validated, and production-ready - Integrations that work reliably across systems - Customers who feel confident in their technical decisions and workflows - Internal teams who rely on you for the hardest implementation problems - Professional Services processes that become more scalable over time Compensation & Benefits Compensation: $160,000 – $180,000 Benefits include: - Medical, Dental, Vision, Basic Life, 401(k), and more - Unlimited PTO - Tools you need to get the job done - Competitive salary and potential equity-based remuneration Why SewerAI SewerAI is transforming how municipalities and contractors inspect, analyze, and manage sewer infrastructure across the country — combining AI, geospatial analysis, and modern web technology to solve a real-world problem that affects communities nationwide.
