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 largest customers, the biggest government agencies and Fortune 100 companies, are moving from data products to an agentic platform that runs their investigation and risk workflows end to end. As a Forward Deployed Engineer II, you are dedicated to those accounts. You own the technical win (demo, proof of concept, trial), then the deployment, then what comes after. The same engineer scopes the problem and ships it.\nYou are equal parts engineer, strategist, and operator. You embed in the customer’s environment, build on Sayari’s agentic platform against their data and their workflows, and solve high-stakes problems that have no textbook answers. You are the conduit between the front lines and core engineering: what you learn in the field becomes what the platform does next.\nWhat You’ll Do\nWin the technical evaluation: design and run demos, proofs of concept, and trials that prove the platform on the customer’s own data. Define success criteria with the customer and hit them.\nDeploy the agentic platform: build agents, tools, and integrations on Sayari’s agentic platform inside the customer’s environment, and take them from trial to production.\nEmbed and build: ship production Python, SQL, and integrations into customer persistence layers and analytics stacks.\nOwn the relationship: serve as the primary technical authority for the account. Brief executives, analysts, and mission owners on outcomes.\nTriage and feed engineering: decide what is bespoke, what is reusable, and what belongs in the platform. Document capability gaps and drive them into the roadmap.\nRaise the bar: set delivery standards and review work for other engineers on your accounts.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nRequired\n5+ years in a client-facing technical role (forward deployed engineering, sales engineering, or technical consulting).\n7-8+ total years of experience working in software engineering and/or solutions consulting\nA record of owning strategic deployments end to end, from technical win to production.\nProduction Python, including the data manipulation ecosystem (Pandas). Deep experience having worked with SQL. Hands-on experience integrating and reasoning about REST APIs.\nBuilding and deploying on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with containers (Docker, Kubernetes).\nYou are a technology polyglot, you have worked across multiple tech stacks and enjoy getting the opportunity to navigate different coding languages, frameworks, and systems. \nAI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude, or similar) as a daily part of how you work.\nExecutive communication. You articulate technical concepts with clarity and conviction to engineers, analysts, and senior leaders alike.\nProblem solving in ambiguity, and the drive to parachute into new environments and learn new technologies on the fly.\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical field.\nDesired\nHands-on experience building agentic or LLM systems: orchestration, tool use, retrieval, evaluation.\nSovereign, air-gapped, or government cloud deployments.\nModern data stack (Snowflake, Databricks) and workflow orchestrators (Airflow, Prefect).\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 operate with extreme ownership. You build the bridge rather than flag the gap. You prefer a working prototype to a slide about one. You can scrap a month of work when the mission changes without losing momentum, and you hold yourself accountable for the outcome, not the activity.\nLogistics\nTravel and in-office time: 25 to 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":5927,"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":"2026-10-26T15:54:45Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":122500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sayari-forward-deployed-engineer-ii-remote-us","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sayari-forward-deployed-engineer-ii-remote-us.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T14:15:06Z","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":1608,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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-ii-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-ii-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-ii-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-ii-remote-us\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsayari-forward-deployed-engineer-ii-remote-us"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3279686}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sayari.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3279686},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
