About the role

Fireworks AI is looking for an AI Deployment Strategist to be the technical backbone of our relationship with customers building on our fast inference platform. You'll be the connective tissue between customer engineering teams and Fireworks' product, engineering, and applied AI teams — driving successful onboarding, deep technical adoption, and long-term account health for companies running production AI workloads at scale.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree required
  • 4+ years in a technical, customer-facing role: Deployment Strategy, Technical Account Management, Solutions Engineering, Forward-Deployed Engineering, or Technical Customer Success at an enterprise software or AI/ML company
  • Strong technical foundation: comfortable with APIs, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), and enough hands-on coding ability to debug integrations, not just describe them
  • Direct experience with LLMs in production — understanding of probabilistic model behavior, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG, and/or agent architectures
  • Track record of managing enterprise relationships end-to-end: technical delivery, executive communication, and commercial outcomes (renewal/expansion)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication — able to translate between ML engineers and business stakeholders fluently
