Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is a hands-on, technical, and client-facing engineer who can effectively communicate across business, product, and engineering stakeholders
- 2+ years of experience in enterprise software implementation, technical consulting, or customer success
- Proven ability to own technical workstreams and manage client-facing projects independently
- Strong technical acumen — comfortable building solutions, leading demos, and running user sessions
- Experience working across multiple customer accounts simultaneously
- Excellent collaboration skills
- Organized and detail-oriented, with a track record of producing scalable, hand-off-ready deliverables
- Thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where ownership is expected
- You’re a builder and operator who thrives in fast-moving, high-accountability environments
- You take pride in getting things done — thoughtfully, efficiently, and without drama
- You’re energized by ambiguity, skilled at bringing clarity, and comfortable flexing between strategy and execution
- You value feedback — giving it, receiving it, and acting on it — and you see collaboration as a competitive advantage, not a burden
- You’re low-ego but high-agency: you care about winning as a team more than being right individually
- You move quickly, communicate directly, and make decisions grounded in impact and data
- You don’t need constant direction — you create momentum. You take ownership for outcomes, and you expect the same from those around you
What the job involves
- Axion Ray is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Solutions team and help drive high-impact delivery, adoption, and customer outcomes across every engagement
- This is an exciting opportunity to be deeply embedded in the customer journey, owning the workstreams that support AI implementations and ensuring continued success from deployment through scale
- Own technical workstreams and use case execution across multiple accounts simultaneously
- Drive activation — proving value fast at each customer site
- Lead user sessions and client-facing technical presentations with confidence and clarity
- Build solutions that can scale and be handed off cleanly to other teammates and accounts
