About the Role
We have crafted our implementation model around two pivotal roles:
- Forward Deployed Engineer
- Forward Deployed Data Scientist
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will serve as the technical link between Arkham's Data Sync platform and our clients. Your key responsibility involves designing and developing connectors that facilitate seamless data flow — primarily through REST APIs and JDBC/ODBC — utilizing frameworks like DLT, Airbyte, and Meltano (familiarity preferred but not essential). Distinct from an internal engineering position, you will oversee the entire implementation cycle: collaborating directly with client teams to comprehend their data environments and subsequently creating and deploying the connectors that enable access to that data.
You will manage 3-4 client implementations concurrently, transitioning swiftly from discovery to production while ensuring your connector designs are reusable and scalable across various engagements.
Your Responsibilities
Connector Development and Management
- Design and implement connectors for multiple data sources including:
- REST APIs
- JDBC / ODBC databases
- Flat files and object storage
- Custom ingestion scripts
Every connector should emphasize reusability, configurability, and scalability.
Lead Client Implementations from Start to Finish
Take charge of the data integration process from initial discovery through to production deployment, ensuring efficient and effective implementation that meets client needs.
