AI Forward Deployed Engineer EMEA

About Us: Fireworks is the platform for specialized intelligence, enabling companies to build, train, and serve AI models tailored to their own data, workflows, and products. Founded by the team behind PyTorch and backed by AMD, Atreides, Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures, Lightspeed, NVIDIA, Sequoia Capital, and TCV, Fireworks powers production AI with hundreds of state-of-the-art open models across text, image, embedding, audio, and multimodal workloads.

Key Responsibilities: Deployment Ownership: Own the technical outcome of customer deployments end to end, from architecture through production.

Unblocking: Diagnose and resolve capacity, performance, integration, and model selection issues, pulling in specialists where needed. Model and Platform Fit: Guide customers to the right models, deployment tiers, an
