Forward Deployed Data Scientist

Forward Deployed Data Scientist Arkham is a Data & AI Platform—a suite of powerful tools designed to help you unify your data and use the best Machine Learning and Generative AI models to solve your most complex operational challenges. Today, industry leaders like Circle K, Mexico Infrastructure Partners, and Televisa Editorial rely on our platform to simplify access to data and insights, automate complex processes, and optimize operations. With our platform and implementation service, our customers save time, reduce costs, and build a strong foundation for lasting Data and AI transformation. About the Role Our implementation teams consist of two key roles: the Forward Deployed Analytics Engineer and the Forward Deployed Data Scientist. These two roles work closely together to drive the implementation of Arkham’s Data & AI Platform, helping our customers transform their operations in a matter of weeks. As a Forward Deployed Data Scientist, you are responsible for kickstarting our customers' AI transformation journey. Once their Data Platform is set up in Arkham, you will work hand in hand with them to fully solve their first use case by leveraging our platform’s AI capabilities. This process typically involves partnering with our customers' BI, finance, or operations teams, deeply understanding the use case they want to enable, and helping them solve it step by step. Example use cases include: Assisting complex reporting or analysis processes with prompt engineering Deploying anomaly detection or forecasting models to optimize operations Configuring our AI Agent capabilities to simplify data exploration and SQL query generation for Data Engineers This phase typically takes 2-4 weeks, and by the end of it, our business champion will have their first use case or primary pain point fully resolved. This results in their "aha" moment, turning them into an advocate for our platform and driving accelerated adoption and new use cases within their operations. Your role bridges the deployment of Machine Learning Models, implementation of Generative AI use cases, and support for customers with Prompt Engineering. You will become an advocate for our Data & AI Platform, managing 3-4 customer implementations at any given time.
