ABOUT LUNON
The companies that lead the next decade won't adopt AI, they'll be rebuilt around it. Lunon treats strategy and software as one discipline, shaping the systems that let ambitious companies outthink their markets and outpace their competitors.
Most advice about AI ends as a recommendation that someone else has to carry out. At Lunon, the people who decide what should change are the people who build it, so an insight becomes capability rather than a slide. We are backed by General Catalyst, and our open-source research system ranks first on DeepResearch Bench.
We're a small team and intend to stay that way. Everyone here owns their work from the first conversation to production, adopts the newest models as they land, and holds an exacting standard for craft. If you want your work to change how a company operates, not just inform it, we'd like to meet you.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Forward Deployed Data Engineer, you will own the foundation our AI systems stand on. A model is only as good as the data it learns from and is measured against; your work makes that data complete, traceable, and trusted.
You will work alongside a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, who owns the models. Your first project: helping an ERP company make its product AI-native.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Extract data from ERP, CRM, and accounting systems and design the pipelines that keep it flowing: ingestion, transformation, and storage
Establish quality and lineage controls so every figure can be traced to its source
Curate the training and evaluation datasets our models learn from and are judged by
Run these systems in production at enterprise scale and own their reliability
Leave behind infrastructure the company's own team can operate and extend
YOU MAY BE A FIT IF
We weigh what you have shipped and sustained over years of experience.
You have built and operated production data pipelines, and kept them running when they broke
You write excellent Python and SQL, and have worked with a warehouse or lakehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or Postgres
You can bring order to data from systems you did not design
You have prepared data for an ML or LLM system: training sets, evaluation sets, or retrieval
You work with AI coding tools every day and judge the result by the system it produces
STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO
Have built on or integrated with an ERP, CRM, or accounting system
Have built data quality or lineage tooling that others depended on
Have done consulting or forward-deployed work, and know how to earn trust inside a company that isn't yours
LOCATION
Remote within the US. Lunon is headquartered in New York City.
HOW WE HIRE
A 30-minute conversation with the team about what you've built and what we're building.
A technical deep-dive into one system you owned, from the business problem to production.
A working session with the team on a real client problem.
References, then an offer. The process takes about two weeks.
Beware of recruitment fraud. All official correspondence comes from a lunon.ai email address. We will never ask you to share bank account information, cash a check, or purchase equipment as part of the hiring process.
