About phData 

phData is an AI-forward engineering company focused on getting enterprise data and AI workloads in production for some of the largest and most well-known companies in the world.

We specialize in the most complex data, machine learning, and AI problems that only the best engineers can solve. From the top down, we’re built and run by hardcore data, ML, and AI engineers. 

• Founders and leadership teams wrote books on databases and built key open-source tools, including Kafka, Parquet, Hive, and more.
• We are a partner to major cloud data platforms like Snowflake (6X POTY), AWS, Azure, GCP, Fivetran, dbt, OpenAI, Anthropic, and more.
• We have nearly 700 employees operating across 3 continents, and we’re growing quickly.
• We build AI and automation tools that no other consulting company has, enabling us to do more with smaller teams and without sacrificing quality. 
• We are not staff aug. We are a premium provider of data and AI services and our clients pay to work with the best teams.

 

Our Core Values

• Grit.  We make sacrifices and accomplish the mission no matter what, because greatness demands commitment.
• Psychological Safety. We take risks, try new things, and have uncomfortable conversations without fear. We know that failure is the mother of success. 
• Curiosity. We seek genuine feedback and assume positive intent. We challenge assumptions, explore boldly, and never settle for “good enough” or “because we’ve always done it that way”. 
• Community. We do the work to help the team, not to collect personal recognition. No task is beneath us, and no ego is above the work. If something needs doing, we do it—whether or not anyone notices.

The Technical Account Lead must also be able to write code, stay up to date with the latest developments in technology, and lead and motivate a team to respond to the challenges and high expectations of our clients.

 

If our clients could solve these problems themselves, they would. Instead, they hire phData. We see ourselves as the client’s special forces and do what it takes to complete the mission. The Technical Account Lead doesn’t just get into the weeds—they study the entire root system.
