But a large portion of training compute is wasted training on data that are already learned, irrelevant, or even harmful, leading to worse models that cost more to train and deploy.\nAt DatologyAI, we’ve built a state of the art data curation suite to automatically curate and optimize petabytes of data to create the best possible training data for your models. Training on curated data can dramatically reduce training time and cost (7-40x faster training depending on the use case), dramatically increase model performance as if you had trained on >10x more raw data without increasing the cost of training, and allow smaller models with fewer than half the parameters to outperform larger models despite using far less compute at inference time, substantially reducing the cost of deployment. For more details, check out our recent research on synthetic data scaling (BeyondWeb) and pretraining with domain-specific data (The Finetuner’s Fallacy).\nWe raised a total of $57.5M in two rounds, a Seed and Series A. Our investors include Felicis Ventures, Radical Ventures, Amplify Partners, Microsoft, Amazon, and AI visionaries like Geoff Hinton, Yann LeCun, Jeff Dean, and many others who deeply understand the importance and difficulty of identifying and optimizing the best possible training data for models. Our team has pioneered this frontier research area and has the deep expertise on both data research and data engineering necessary to solve this incredibly challenging problem and make data curation easy for anyone who wants to train their own model on their own data.\nThis role is based in San Mateo, CA. We are in office 4 days a week.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a highly technical, customer-obsessed Forward Deployed AI Engineer (Post Sales) to guide customers through deploying, operating, and adopting DatologyAI’s platform in complex on-prem or hybrid environments. You will become the trusted technical advisor for our most strategic customers, partnering closely with Sales, Research, and Engineering to drive successful deployments and long-term customer value. You'll bridge the gap between our core platform capabilities and the unique requirements of each customer's environment.\nThis role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving challenging distributed systems problems, and wants to build both deep relationships and scalable solutions within a fast-moving startup.\nWhat You’ll Work On\nLead customers through onboarding, deployment, and production rollout of DatologyAI’s platform while serving as the technical owner for assigned accounts-driving architecture, execution, long-term adoption, and tailored technical success plans.\n\nPartner cross-functionally with Sales, Engineering, and Research to translate use-case requirements into actionable technical strategies, support early trials, relay customer feedback, and help shape roadmap priorities.\n\nGuide customers in designing scalable, secure workflows across compute, storage, networking, and distributed systems, providing ongoing reporting on deployment progress, workload health, usage metrics, and executive-level updates.\n\nAdapt and optimize DatologyAI’s platform across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-prem Kubernetes environments, handling provider-specific APIs, storage systems, networking configurations, and compute orchestration-including tuning performance for network topology, storage tiering, and resource allocation in each environment.\n\nAbout You\n5+ years of experience in technical roles involving solution architecture, customer engineering, consulting, or technical program delivery.\n\nStrong background in distributed systems, data infrastructure, and/or on-prem or hybrid compute environments.\n\nExperience working with ML/AI workflows, designing or deploying systems involving Kubernetes, networking, data pipelines, or large-scale backend infrastructure.\n\nProficiency in Python, SQL, or similar languages, with the ability to contribute to technical conversations and debug customer issues end-to-end.\n\nExperience leading complex technical projects with multiple stakeholders-translating business needs into clear architecture and execution plans.\n\nDeep hands-on experience with multiple cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) including their compute, storage, networking, and IAM services.\n\nProven track record of adapting complex distributed systems to run across different infrastructure environments.\n\nExpertise in infrastructure-as-code and configuration management for multi-environment deployments.\n\nRequired to travel to customer sites as needed to support critical deployments and customer engagements.\n\nCompensation\nAt DatologyAI, we are dedicated to rewarding talent with competitive salary and meaningful equity.
