Braze
Forward-Deployed Data Scientist II
Why it's interesting
Forward-deployed as a data-science discipline, not an engineering one: Braze (NASDAQ: BRZE) is staffing FD Data Scientists in eight cities across three continents at once. The martech proof that 'forward deployed' has jumped the AI-lab fence — same embed-with-the-customer motion, pointed at churn models instead of agents.
The role
Partner with enterprise customers alongside an Engagement Manager and AI Success Manager to define use cases, wire up data integrations and pipelines, and configure ML models on the Braze platform. 3–5+ years as a data scientist or MLE with customer-facing/consulting experience. Eight parallel postings live — Toronto, Tokyo, NYC, Chicago, SF, Austin, London, Paris — signal a real global org, not a one-off. US Level II band $98K–$164K.
