### **About the Role**

Our implementation model is built around two core roles:

-   Forward Deployed Engineer
-   Forward Deployed Data Scientist

As a **Forward Engineer**, you'll be the technical bridge between Arkham's Data Sync platform and our clients. Your primary focus is building the connectors that make data flow — REST APIs & JDBC/ODBC, — using frameworks like dlt, Airbyte, and Meltano (desired but not mandatory). But unlike a purely internal engineering role, you'll own the full implementation cycle: working directly with client teams to understand their data landscape, then building and deploying the connectors that unlock it.

You'll manage 3-4 client implementations at a time, moving fast from discovery to production while keeping your connector work reusable and scalable across engagements.

### **What You’ll Work On**

### **Build and Own Data Connectors**

-   Design and implement connectors for diverse data sources including:
-   REST APIs
-   JDBC / ODBC databases
-   Flat files and object storage
-   Custom ingestion scripts  
    

Every connector should prioritize **reusability, configurability, and scalability**.

### **Lead Client Implementations End-to-End**

Own the data integration process from initial discovery to production deployment.

This includes:

-   Understanding the client’s data architecture
-   Defining integration requirements
-   Building connectors
-   Deploying them into Arkham’s platform

Most integrations are expected to reach production within 2–4 weeks.

### **Design Robust Integration Architecture**

Create adapter and abstraction layers that standardize how connectors handle:

-   Authentication mechanisms
-   Pagination and incremental syncs
-   Rate limits
-   Error handling and retries
-   Schema normalization

Your goal is to ensure connectors behave consistently across systems.

### **Work Directly With Client Technical Teams**

Collaborate with engineering and data teams to:

-   Understand source systems
-   Map and validate data flows
-   Ensure outputs align with business requirements

You’ll translate real-world operational systems into **clean, reliable data pipelines**.

### **Build Analytics-Ready Data Pipelines**

Write clean SQL and design transformations that produce **high-quality datasets ready for analytics and AI workflows**.

Your pipelines should be:

-   Correct
-   Observable
-   Maintainable
-   Scalable

### **Improve the Connector Library**

Each integration should strengthen Arkham’s platform.

You’ll contribute reusable patterns and improvements back to the shared connector framework so that **every engagement accelerates the next one**.  

### **What We Require**

### **Experience**

-   2+ years of backend or data engineering experience
-   Strong **Python programming skills**
-   Hands-on experience building **REST API integrations**
-   Solid **SQL and relational database fundamentals**

### **Communication & Ownership**

You should be comfortable:

-   Explaining technical work to **technical and non-technical stakeholders**
-   Working in **client-facing environments**
-   Owning integrations **from problem definition to production**

This role requires engineers who **take responsibility for outcomes**, not just code.

### **Technical Environment**

Experience with cloud environments is expected.

Preferred:

-   **AWS**

### **Bonus Skills**

Nice-to-have experience includes:

-   CI/CD applied to data workflows
-   Data observability and testing frameworks
-   Familiarity with **AI-driven analytics and Generative AI use cases**
-   Experience with data integration frameworks such as:

-   **dlt**
-   **Airbyte**
-   **Meltano**
