Target start date: mid-April
Creating and recording live content for YouTube and internal video offerings. We will rent and furnish a dedicated studio space for you to record professional quality tutorials.
Building and enhancing existing technical Foundry curriculum.
Delivering in-person and virtual live, multi-day Foundry trainings
Work intensely when you’re at work; don’t work when you’re not at work
Turn Slack and email notifications off
Take pride in your work
Direct, candid, and respectful feedback
We flex on scope, not deadlines à la Shape Up and other writing from 37Signals/Basecamp
We have small offices in California, Oklahoma, and New York (you will be the first person in a DC office)
Requirements:
You must love teaching! If you're on the fence about teaching, read no further.
Strong technical skills: Python, TS/JS, using LLMs in data pipelines and applications, Spark, containerization, unit and integration testing, observability & monitoring
In other words, at many companies you would fit in as a developer
Be one of the following:
Former Palantir FDE or technical data strategist (we're looking for a "Delta" or a very strong "Techo")
Foundry user with 3+ years experience delivering 2-3 enterprise use cases
10+ years experience in a"data-driven" industry across business domains with experience delivering end-to-end technical solutions from use case design to technical implementation
Nice to have:
Full-stack development skills (e.g. an app powered by React + FastAPI + Postgres -- but we're not picky about the tech stack)
Machine Learning experience
Foreign language skills, especially Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish
Effective written and oral communication skills
You write and speak clearly
You can identify what matters for a non-technical user and succinctly explain what they need to know in terms that make sense to them
e.g., an executive who needs to make a decision based on your input
You proactively communicate about what you’re doing — this is habitual for you
You can disagree and navigate conflict respectfully and in a manner that puts the team’s goals first
High degree of autonomy (i.e., don’t wait for work to come to you)
You're always learning new things. What was the last new technology you learned?
This role will require domestic and international travel for in-person trainings and periodic internal company events.
An in-person training typically lasts four days at the customer's office. This role is expected to cover in-person trainings primarily in the broader DC area, but occasional travel may be required to other places.
