We are dedicated to being the go-to data layer used to build AGI. The future of intelligence won’t be defined by compute alone—it will be shaped by the quality and richness of the data these systems learn from.
At sumo, we believe data is the most under-invested and under-appreciated driver of AI progress. We give AI teams access to data that can’t be scraped from the open web and that makes the difference between incremental improvement and breakthrough capability.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Sumo, you’ll work directly with top AI labs and cutting-edge research teams to design and ship the infrastructure behind their most critical data workflows. You’ll embed with partners, understand their model challenges, and build the pipelines, tools, and automations that move their experiments forward.
This is not a heads-down backend role — you’ll be on the frontlines, blending engineering with problem-solving, and translating ambiguous research needs into high-leverage technical systems. You’ll serve as the technical bridge between customers, vendors, and internal teams, ensuring that Sumo’s data platform integrates seamlessly into real-world AI development. Your work will directly shape how the world’s most advanced models are trained and evaluated — and you’ll ship fast, iterate constantly, and see the impact of your work in real time.
