: As the Spark Team Engineer, you will be the technical half of SPARK, Arkana’s two-person embedded unit that owns the front of our AI-native development funnel.

You will build the proofs of concept that decide what Arkana makes next, real enough that the answer is trustworthy and fast enough that the answer arrives in weeks, and you will do the data work most of those answers turn on.

Engagements are short and embedded, so you will need to interface well with people you just met, work alongside non-technical builders with patience and without condescension, and capture how a department actually operates in days, not weeks.

PoC & Data Engineering:

Build timeboxed proofs of concept designed to answer a specific business question

Prepare Advanced concepts for handoff to the standardized deploy pipeline
