Forward Deployed AI Engineer (remote)

🦊 At Dot we help organizations like Airbyte, Babbel, Duolingo, Fastly, Flix or GLS to analyze data with an AI assistant.

Our mission is to help everybody in an organization to take data-driven decisions. We do that by allowing data teams to train an AI assistant on their company data, so users can chat with their business data in Slack, Teams or a web interface.

As a Forward Deployed Enablement Engineer, you’ll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success. You’ll work directly with customers to make Dot successful in real environments: diagnose issues, unblock users and data teams, build lightweight tooling/workarounds, and feed the learnings back into the product so we can scale enablement across all customers.

This is not a data pipeline role. It’s a highly technical, customer-facing role focused on making Dot work reliably and quickly for real AI analytics workflows.

If you are passionate about great user experience, and high-quality code, like working in a fast-moving, friendly, yet professional team, join Dot for the experience of a lifetime.
