In today’s world, where the last mile of implementation creates the competitive moat, you’ll be the catalyst turning software into scale.\nAbout Us\nAt STRATOS Technologies, we are transforming how companies make data-driven decisions with our innovative Strategy Operating System. Our software integrates complex datasets into a unified solution, enabling businesses to strengthen their long-term strategies through clear and actionable insights.\nOur founders, former business and tech executives who led a $1B division at a Fortune 500 industrial company, originally built a digital twin of their enterprise to drive synchronized planning and execution. Seeing the market’s lack of such a system, they launched STRATOS in 2022 with a bold mission: to build the world’s first strategy operating system that unifies all internal and external data into a single platform.\nToday, STRATOS is a category-defining, rapidly growing startup funded extensively by high-profile investors (e.g., Accel) and trusted by nearly a dozen global industrial leaders and Fortune 500 customers. Our software integrates complex datasets into a unified solution, combining deep data integration, best-in-class workflows, and cutting-edge generative AI.\nFrom commercial AI agents to embedded intelligence that supercharges lean teams, STRATOS enables businesses to achieve 10x productivity and strengthen long-term strategies through actionable insights. We are now expanding our team to accelerate our growth even further and help our customers outperform their competition.\nWhy Forward Deployed Engineering\nWhile we have a scalable technology backbone, we believe that Forward Deployed Engineering is the future of differentiated B2B SaaS in the GenAI age. Rather than shipping static tools, we partner closely with customers to deliver dynamic, tailored solutions where value is created in the implementation layer - not just the codebase.\nTasks\nEnsure client implementations are working successfully\n\nSolve our customers’ hardest business challenges by adapting and deploying the STRATOS platform to their needs\n\nDesign and implement scalable generative AI workflows using platforms like Palantir AIP\n\nExecute complex data integration using PySpark and other distributed technologies\n\nCollaborate directly with clients to understand context, priorities, and key outcome\n\nRequirements\n0-4 years of solid experience in data engineering or analytics.\n\nExperience at start-up companies and/or an excitement to experience first-hand the adventure that comes with a fast-scaling tech company, alternatively experience at a top-tier consultancy.\n\nThe ability to translate complex and sometimes ambiguous business requirements into clean and maintainable data pipelines\n\nExcellent knowledge of PySpark, Python and SQL fundamentals\n\nThe ability to get to grips with new technologies quickly\n\nPreferred Skills and Qualifications\nExperience in dashboarding tools, Typescript and API development\n\nFamiliarity with Airflow, DBT, Databricks\n\nExperience working with Enterprise Resource Planning (e.g. Oracle, SAP) and CRM systems\n\nBenefits\nEquity through our stock option programme, so you share in the long-term success and growth of the company\n\nA highly competitive salary\n\nDirect access to Fortune 500 executives from your first months, at a level most people wait a decade for\n\nWork alongside former MBB consultants and Fortune 500 executives who will teach you directly -
