Field Data Engineer (US-Remote Optional)

Ascend's mission is to enable every organization to innovate faster by harnessing the power of data automation. We help customers spend more time building pipeline logic and analyzing data and allow the Ascend platform to simplify and accelerate data from ingest, transformation, orchestration, observability and delivery. We have been named as one of the "Best Places to Work" by Built In for 2023! 

You will help our customers accelerate their data projects, focused primarily on the initial technical implementation of Ascend. While you will have direct responsibility for building parts of the overall solution, you will also focus intently on up-leveling the customer in their ability to design and build data systems themselves. When you are not working directly with a customer, you will be part of the broader field engineering team working on customer POC's, staying current on leading edge technologies, helping other customers, and creating content. If you love a challenge, working with insanely bright and motivated people, and learning more faster than you thought possible, join Ascend, recently named a Gartner Cool Vendor!

• Provide feedback to the product team on new features that will drive adoption and create raving fans.
• Assist/drive POC's with new potential customers.
• Research and implement technologies that are adjacent to and complementary to Ascend.
• Research and implement competitive technologies.
• Generate content that will accelerate customer learnings and promote self-sufficiency.
• Assist other customers as time permits.
• Build additional features / extensions for the Ascend platform.
