The Sayari Commercial World Model resolves 11.7B+ primary-source records from 250+ jurisdictions forming the ground truth of global commerce. A Judgment Ontology, encoding over a decade of investigative tradecraft, and Superconductor, an agentic orchestration platform, deliver AI that reasons like an expert analyst, shows its work, and traces every finding to its source. Trusted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, HM Revenue & Customs, and Fortune 500 enterprises, Sayari is used by thousands of professionals across 35+ countries to secure supply chains and dismantle illicit networks. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in London, Singapore, Tokyo, and Tel Aviv.\nThe Role\nSayari’s customers run risk screening, graph analytics and investigation workflows, and data integrations (APIs and feeds) on the Commercial World Model. Those deployments have to work on day one and keep working. As a Forward Deployed Engineer I, you own that outcome. You scope the problem with the customer, prove it technically, ship it, and keep the account healthy after go-live. The same engineer scopes the work and delivers it.\nThis is not a ticket queue. You receive direction, not a script. You work across a portfolio of accounts rather than embedding in one, so the role rewards engineers who move fast, document as they go, and leave every deployment in a state another engineer can pick up. Opportunity to contribute to Sayari’s agentic platform.\nWhat You’ll Do\nScope and prove: run technical scoping and evaluation with customer teams, and confirm Sayari fits the workflow before delivery starts.\n Implement: deploy risk screening, graph analytics and investigation workflows, and data integrations (APIs and feeds). Write production Python and SQL to do it.\n Deliver data: execute bulk data cuts and formatted data products (Parquet, CSV), set up and support API endpoints, and onboard customer pipelines: environment setup, data validation, integration testing.\nKeep deployments healthy: monitor usage and pipeline status, build dashboards that give customers and internal teams clear visibility, and resolve issues before they become churn risk.\nBuild the playbook: follow and improve delivery playbooks and SOPs. Document your work clearly enough that another engineer can pick it up without a handoff call.\nFeed the product: bring recurring customer needs and field findings back to core engineering.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nRequired\n3 to 5 years in a client-facing technical role (forward deployed engineering, sales engineering, technical delivery, or technical consulting).\nProduction Python, including the data manipulation ecosystem (Pandas).\nDeep SQL: writing and optimizing complex queries.\nHands-on experience integrating, testing, and supporting REST APIs.\nLarge-scale data processing with Spark, BigQuery, or Snowflake, and pipeline orchestration with Airflow or similar.\nWorking knowledge of AWS or GCP.\nAI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude, or similar) as a daily part of how you work.\nStrong written and verbal communication. You explain technical work clearly to engineers, analysts, and senior stakeholders.\nProblem solving in ambiguity, and fast uptake of new technologies and tools.\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical field.\nDesired\nBuilding with LLM APIs for analytical or automation tasks.\nContainers (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud deployment patterns.\nBI and dashboarding tools (Looker, Tableau, Metabase).\nGraph data technologies and their query languages.\nExposure to ML, NLP, or entity resolution.\nExperience in high-stakes domains: AML and financial crime, supply chain risk, or national security.\nHow You Work\nYou are self-directed. You do not need someone to define every step. You spot gaps, ask the right questions, flag tradeoffs, and execute. You hold a high bar on output quality because the work you hand off represents Sayari to the customer. You take full accountability for what you deliver.\nLogistics\nTravel and in-office time: 25-30% combined.\nLimitless growth and learning opportunities.\nSayari is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages diverse candidates to apply. We believe diversity and inclusion mean our team members should reflect the diversity of the United States. No employee or applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability status, veteran status, genetics, or political affiliation. We strongly encourage applicants of all backgrounds to apply.\nPay Range\n$160,000—$180,000 USD","description_format":"text","description_chars":5583,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Commerce","Cybersecurity","Decision Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-24T00:20:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sayari-forward-deployed-engineer-i-remote-us","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sayari-forward-deployed-engineer-i-remote-us.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T08:53:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11828,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":687315},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687315"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsayari-forward-deployed-engineer-i-remote-us"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsayari-forward-deployed-engineer-i-remote-us"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsayari-forward-deployed-engineer-i-remote-us"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sayari-forward-deployed-engineer-i-remote-us\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsayari-forward-deployed-engineer-i-remote-us"}]}
