Who We Are

At Gretel, our mission is to build the world’s best developer platform for synthetic data.  Gretel provides and fine tunes AI models to generate synthetic data that preserves privacy and maintains accuracy to the original data.  Our platform solves the data bottleneck problem for developers, data scientists, and AI/ML researchers.

We’re a highly collaborative remote company with employees across the US, Canada, EMEA and LATAM. Our innovative and transparent culture offers employees the autonomy, tools, and trust to act like owners, and we're looking for a Head of Field Engineering to join our mission and build a new team at Gretel to enable growth for scale!

The Impact You’ll Have

You are the build and change capability of the Gretel go-to-market team and will be deployed towards the end of the sales cycle. You will collaborate with the sales and pre-sales resources to deliver the value the customer expects and ensure value creation of Gretel’s product(s) long-term. 

As the Head of Field Engineering, you'll work side-by-side with our account executives, applied science, product, and engineering teams to add value to our customers’ most complex data challenges. You will drive the design, build, and technical implementation of Gretel’s solutions, collaborating closely with the customer to understand their data challenges and deliver tailored solutions from paid pilots to years-long deals.

This is a new team at Gretel. You’ll partner with cross-functional stakeholders to hire a geographically distributed team, and drive impact for our customers. Your technical experience and depth with machine learning, data engineering, and MLOps deployments will be your superpower. You’ll also be responsible for providing developmental feedback and growth opportunities for members of your team. 

Responsibilities

  • Lead and support customers through pilot implementations, ensuring the successful deployment of solutions tailored to meet their specific business use cases.

  • Partner with our account executives (sales reps) and prospects/customers directly to align Cloud infrastructure, data pipeline, and ML requirements to inform the design, build, and deployment of the technical customized solution (paid pilot or deal).

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product, applied science, sales, and marketing to drive alignment on product roadmap, feature development, and go-to-market strategies.

  • Be the voice of the customer: proactively identify opportunities in our product based on trends identified across customer needs, and build solutions to address these emerging patterns.

  • Hire and manage a team of field ML engineers, providing guidance, mentorship, and support to ensure the successful execution of projects and customer deliverables.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field. PhD preferred.

  • Strong technical expertise in data engineering, Cloud infrastructure, machine learning, and deployment, with hands-on experience in developing and implementing enterprise-scale solutions.

  • Proven experience in a leadership role, managing technical teams and delivering complex solutions in the field of data engineering or machine learning.

  • Demonstrated ability to effectively engage with enterprise customers, understand their business needs, and deliver tailored technical solutions to address their challenges.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Fluency in Python, utilizing Colab or Jupyter notebooks, and working with open-source libraries.

  • Experience with deploying a machine learning solution, working with containers and related tooling (Kubernetes, Helm, Kubecutl) on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

  • Willingness to travel occasionally (up to 20%) for customer meetings, conferences, and industry events as needed. 

We think the best ideas come from the blending of diverse perspectives and experiences, which will lead to a stronger company and advancements in technologies.  We hire individuals whose peers call them subject matter experts, whose curiosity draws them to new edges of their field and who like to laugh.  We are deeply collaborative, apolitical and mission-oriented.
