Requires recent Bachelor's/Master's in CS/Engineering, AI curiosity, and strong communication.

## Job Description

## Key Responsibilities

- Act as a trusted technical advisor to customers, helping shape their GenAI strategy using Fireworks infrastructure.
- Partner with engineering, design, and data science teams to define, build, and ship product features across the Fireworks platform — from API tooling to model fine-tuning workflows to inference infrastructure.
- Engage directly with customers from fast-moving startups to large enterprises, to identify use cases and convert interest into long-term usage and expansion.
- Partner with GTM functions like sales and marketing to evangelize new products to customers and throughout the Fireworks org.

## Minimum Requirements

- Recently graduated (or about to) with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Less than 2 years of professional experience (designed for early-career candidates).
- Curiosity about AI, LLMs, and developer tooling. You've been vibe coding constantly and building with AI APIs.
- Clear written and verbal communication - interacting directly with customers and explaining technical tradeoffs.
- Strong analytical skills and user empathy.
- Deep hunger and motivation. This isn’t a 9-5 job and you’ll be expected to step up, especially during periods of “wartime”.
- Comfortability with ambiguity and energized by fast-moving environments.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Hands-on experience with AI/ML infrastructure: inference serving, fine-tuning pipelines, embeddings, or agent frameworks.
- Prior internship or project experience in product management, software engineering, or data science.
- Familiarity with developer-focused products and an understanding of what makes a great API or SDK experience.
