[Remote] Forward Deployed Data Engineer
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. TREQS is a fast-growing AI training data platform seeking a Forward Deployed Data Engineer to lead end-to-end healthcare customer engagements. The role involves translating ambiguous healthcare data challenges into scalable batch data pipelines, delivering custom engineering solutions, guiding customer engineering teams, and feeding recurring implementation patterns back into the product.
Responsibilities
- Own customer engagements from scoping through delivery — translating vague requirements (e.g. 5M patient records spanning radiology, claims, genomics) into working data pipelines under pressure
- Build custom data engineering solutions to handle massive volumes of structured and unstructured healthcare data (imaging, EHR, claims) at scale
- Go on-site with customers and data partners to guide their engineering teams through working with data at scale
- Identify gaps between our platform and customer needs, and build the last-mile solutions that close them
- Surface repeatable patterns back to product to help turn bespoke implementations into scalable platform capabilities
Skills
- Job Location: 1. United States
- Fully remote based in US
- NOT open to Visa holders at this point
- 3–8 years
- Strong data engineering background building batch pipelines at massive scale, across structured and unstructured data (this is not a streaming-heavy environment)
- A track record of high ownership — founding engineer, early-stage startup, or equivalent end-to-end technical accountability
- Customer-facing experience: comfortable scoping ambiguous problems, communicating tradeoffs, and steering technical stakeholders away from preconceptions on the fly
- Strong SQL and hands-on ETL experience across diverse data formats
- A full-stack generalist mindset with a clear spike in data engineering
- Working understanding of AI/ML training workflows
- Comfort operating in PHI/HIPAA-compliant environments (healthcare domain expertise is a nice-to-have, not a requirement)
- Degree in Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field
- Thrives in fast-paced, high-intensity environments — nights and weekends are common when deals are live
- Healthcare domain expertise
Benefits
- Generous equity
- Fully remote based in US
