You know how to build strong customer relationships with stakeholders across different levels of seniority, including both technical stakeholders (e.g. Principal Engineers, Data Scientists) and business stakeholders (e.g. Risk Managers, Credit Analysts). You have intermediate-level Python skills and are comfortable writing, testing, and debugging code in customer-facing or production-adjacent environments. You are curious and customer-centric, enjoy learning about our customers' and prospects' businesses, and helping them solve challenges.

You discover and translate customers' strategic priorities and problem statements into high-impact use cases leveraging Taktile during the sales process and throughout the entire customer value journey, including adoption, expansion, and renewal. You lead the design and execution of proof-of-value projects that combine customer data, ML/AI models, and Taktile's platform to demonstrate strategic ROI. You build technical prototypes and demos leveraging the Taktile platform that simulate production-grade integrations and workflows.

You collaborate with partners and customers to design and build solutions in Taktile's Decisioning Platform. You lead proof-of-value projects and can communicate the value opportunity of a full implementation and the corresponding strategic roadmap to senior stakeholders up to C-level executives. You onboard and work with various of our customers' teams (domain experts, product, engineering, data science) to help them solve real-world problems. You understand people and technology, and are proficient and diligent in writing and testing Python code, committed to providing an excellent experience and fast time to value to Taktile's customers.

You work with product management to translate your knowledge of customer problems into product insights to shape Taktile's product roadmap. You create reusable collateral, best practices, and tools to help scale your knowledge and expertise across the solution engineering function. You lead the discovery for new use cases and implement them on the platform to assess product-solution fit, providing feedback to our product team and sharing results of your discovery with go-to-market functions.

You have a general understanding of REST APIs (design, integration, authentication) and experience building, tuning, or deploying ML models (e.g., scikit-learn, XGBoost, PyTorch, TensorFlow) in production settings. Experience with AI use cases in financial services (e.g. fraud detection, credit scoring, underwriting) is a strong plus. You are comfortable explaining how a model works to both technical stakeholders such as a CTO and domain experts such as Credit Risk Managers. You have acquired domain expertise in the financial services industry (banking, insurance, capital markets, payments, etc.).
