## 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.

- 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
