The opportunity
Instacart's Enterprise Solutions team is building a first-of-its-kind business: embedding directly with enterprise retail and CPG partners to design, sell, and deliver AI-powered solutions at scale. We are a small, senior, field-first pod—part startup, part consultancy—defining the playbook as we go.
What you'll do
Own data modeling, integration design, and governance across every: engagement; serve as the senior technical authority from pre-sales through delivery.
Map customer data and Instacart's data ontology together, and gate technical: feasibility before any build begins.
Establish integration patterns between the Intelligence Platform and partner: systems, e.g.,POS, ERP, loyalty, CRM, Snowflake, proprietary APIs, and mobile surfaces.
Bridge partner technical requirements with Instacart R&D roadmaps, APIs, and: SDKs; surface gaps and advocate for platform changes needed to serve the field.
Prototype and code in real-time alongside partners
Review designs and unblock the Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure: architectural integrity across the pod's engagements.
What they're looking for
- Codify reusable integration patterns into scalable architecture templates as the pod scales.
- + years in solutions architecture, data engineering, or senior software: engineering, with demonstrated experience designing enterprise-scale systems.
- Deep expertise in data architecture and modeling across messy, heterogeneous: enterprise environments, with enough AI/ML familiarity to understand how data quality and structure determine what is possible on the intelligence layer.
- Experience designing integrations across complex enterprise environments: including ERP, POS, Snowflake, and proprietary APIs.
