Your work spans three core areas across each customer engagement:
Prepare enterprise content for AI
Assess and structure customers' content environments - information architecture, metadata, permissions, and governance - so models and agents can retrieve the most relevant, secure, and current content
Design relationship hierarchies, metadata libraries with associated templates, Hubs, integrations and permissions for agentic use cases
Run AI readiness assessments and deliver actionable roadmaps for customers preparing for Box AI-driven workflows
Design and build AI workflows and agents
Partner with customer AI leadership to define holistic AI strategy, set priorities, and deliver prescriptive roadmaps - reporting progress to executives on an ongoing basis
Lead requirements workshops to formalize scope into achievable, tracked deliverables
Build production-quality code - scripts, apps, API integrations - that scales correctly and handles failures gracefully
Design and build end-to-end agentic workflows directly in our customer's environments: context pipelines, prompts, generative steps, agents, and downstream integrations, including Box MCP server and customer-chosen orchestrators
Run programmatic model testing across approved models to find best fit per use case; build dashboards tracking reliability, speed, accuracy, and cost
Design every solution with AI unit and token efficiency at the center - forecasting spend and supporting ROI calculations
Post Deployment Optimization
Own post-deployment reliability: monitoring, alerting, fallback paths, drift detection, and change-control so solutions stay accurate and trusted over time
Tune workflows as prompts drift, agents multiply, and models change - refining for cost and output quality
Drive end-user adoption through enablement, roadshows, and LOB-specific configuration
Document product gaps and work with Box Product & Engineering to influence roadmap priorities
Track KPI attainment and adoption signals post-launch; package learnings into repeatable patterns that scale across customers
Evolve deployment strategy with Customer as AI approaches and models advance
Requirements
You are part engineer, part solution architect, and part customer-facing operator. You can build the workflow, make the right AI and architecture choices, and understand which business processes are worth transforming in the first place.
You are energized by the pace of AI - you follow model releases, emerging agentic patterns, and evolving best practices because you're genuinely curious, not because it's required
You think in systems and outcomes, not just features - you care whet

WHY BOX NEEDS YOU
Most enterprise AI projects don't fail because the model isn't powerful enough. They stall because the model is missing the context that makes it useful inside a business - the contracts, records, policies, procedures, metadata, permissions, and workflows where an organization keeps what it actually knows.
Closing that gap is the real work of enterprise AI, and it's the work a Box Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) does.
Box AI is model-agnostic, letting customers choose the best model for each business need. An FDE works the same way - helping customers build content-centric AI workflows around whichever models best fit their needs, with Box at the center of their intelligent content strategy.
As AI models evolve and agentic systems grow more sophisticated, the advantage goes to organizations working with their vendor partners to design, build, and deploy solutions, and then adapting them as models and approaches change. Box FDEs are that partner - turning your content into the context that makes AI and agents useful.
