Data Solutions Engineer

Standard Metrics is hiring a Data Solutions Engineer to sit between Customer Experience and Engineering. You will be the technical owner for customer-facing data workflows, integrations, and AI-driven automation, working across a book of customers to understand their data problems and build solutions. This is a foundational hire for a services function that does not have an established playbook yet, so you will help write it.

This is not a pure engineering role and not a pure customer-facing role. You need the technical depth to architect and execute solutions across APIs, SQL, data pipelines, and AI tooling, plus the communication skills to work directly with customers to diagnose needs, set expectations, and deliver results. You will be embedded with the Data Solutions and Customer Success teams, acting as a technical extension of the customer.

What you will do

• Partner directly with customers to identify data challenges and design technical solutions, connecting data sources, configuring integrations, automating recurring workflows, and deploying custom reports
• Deploy and optimize AI-powered tools and workflows for customers, and educate customers and internal teams on prompt engineering, LLM capabilities, and best practices for using AI in their data operations
• Build and extend internal tooling such as importers, parsers, and reporting pipelines to reduce manual burden on the Customer Experience team and improve platform reliability
• Execute bespoke data operations including custom SQL reports, bulk data operations, and backend queries for customers with unique data needs
• Own API schemas, ingestion cadence, error handling, Snowflake data shares, and database connections
• Identify repeatable patterns across customers and translate them into product requirements, filing tickets and partnering with Engineering to productize solutions
• Support internal engineering workflows as a secondary function by helping triage and resolve quality-of-life bugs and enhancements that are too small for core Engineering but directly impact the Customer Experience team and customers
• Carry a light book of data parsing work alongside your teammates to stay grounded in the team's day-to-day workflows and build supporting solutions

What they are looking for

• 3–5+ years of experience in a technical role with a customer-facing component, such as solutions engineering, data engineering, or technical account management
• Strong SQL skills and ability to write complex queries, perform ad-hoc data analysis, and work with relational data models
• Proficiency in Python for scripting, data manipulation, and workflow automation
• Hands-on experience with REST APIs: designing, consuming, and debugging integrations
• Genuine curiosity about AI. Experience with prompt engineering, LLM-based workflows, or AI-forward tooling is a strong plus
• Willingness to travel up to 60% of the time to work on-site with customers
• Familiarity with modern data infrastructure such as Snowflake, dbt, or similar data warehouse and pipeline tools
• Strong communication and ability to translate technical concepts clearly for non-technical stakeholders
• Experience in B2B SaaS, ideally in fintech, venture capital, or private markets
• High ownership mentality. You identify problems proactively and drive solutions without waiting to be asked
• Confidence operating in ambiguity. You do not need a fully defined playbook to get started, and you are energized rather than unsettled by the prospect of helping build one
• Bonus: experience with data integration tools such as Zapier, n8n, or Make, exposure to fund accounting and investment data workflows, or experience configuring MCP servers and AI agents
• Finance and/or Computer Science degree strongly preferred
