Company: Trida AI

Location: Seattle, Washington, United States

Work Model: Remote

Employment Type: Contract

About Trida AI

Trida AI is expanding its Forward Deployed Engineering bench for upcoming customer engagements. Engineers in this pool are first in line for client deployments as engagements start.

About the Role

Trida AI deploys Forward Deployed Engineers inside enterprise customer teams to design, build, and ship production AI systems — agents, retrieval, and data integrations — and to leave behind systems the customer can operate themselves. Success is production adoption and measurable workflow impact, not a demo. Travel to customer sites up to 40% may be required depending on the engagement.

What You'll Do

• Build data connectors, ingestion and ETL pipelines, and integrations between customer warehouses, internal APIs and AI platforms

• Design data models and representations that make enterprise data usable by agents and retrieval systems

• Own reliability, provenance, lineage and access controls on data flows

• Work inside customer data environments, including messy, legacy and partially documented systems

What We're Looking For

• Deep data-engineering experience: pipelines, warehousing, APIs — Python and SQL, Spark/PySpark a plus

• Hands-on with cloud data platforms on AWS, Azure or GCP

• Delivered in customer data environments under real security and access constraints
