Staff AI Deployment Strategist

Required

• 5+ years in customer-facing solutioning or advisory roles, such as solutions consulting, solution architecture, sales engineering, technical consulting, product management, or implementation with design-level scope.
• A track record of turning ambiguous customer problems into delivered solutions with external stakeholders on real deadlines with real consequences.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills: you can run a discovery workshop with operators, present a solution to an executive, and walk an engineer through the design, all in the same day.
• Product instincts and structured thinking: you ask what problem a request solves, look for the smallest thing that solves it, and make progress with partial information.
• A bias toward repeatable solutions; you look for the pattern behind each customer request.
• A strong working understanding of agentic AI systems (LLM-powered agents, tool and function calling, retrieval-augmented generation, and human-in-the-loop design) and where they succeed or fail in practice.
• Hands-on skill with prompt design and evaluation: you can write prompts and evaluation criteria, diagnose why an agent's output falls short, and describe what would fix it.
• Comfort with SQL for exploring and validating data, and the ability to read API documentation (REST, Swagger/OpenAPI) and data models well enough to design and scope integrations with engineers.
• Daily, practical use of AI tools such as Claude, Claude Code, or Cursor, and enough understanding of data pipelines, cloud-hosted systems, and ML systems to judge feasibility. You do not need to write production code.
• This role can be based in either our Brooklyn, NY or Washington D.C. Hub locations with hybrid work flexibility.
• US Salary Range and Benefits
• $165,000-$195,000 USD
