About This JobWe're looking for an Intermediate Forward Deployed Engineer to rapidly ship working software that solves real operational problems. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role: you'll spend time with stakeholders to understand a workflow, then go build - wiring together automations, internal tools, AI-driven logic, and APIs into production-grade solutions, often within days rather than quarters.
You will not be handed fully-specified requirements. You'll partner with product, operations, credit, and business teams to diagnose bottlenecks, propose a technical approach, and deliver an iterative solution - then stay close to the problem to refine it as real usage reveals edge cases.
Responsibilities:- Sit with business/operations stakeholders to map current-state workflows and identify where automation, tooling, or AI can remove manual effort or risk
- Design and build production-grade internal applications and dashboards in Retool for case management, review queues, approvals, and operational visibility
- Architect and maintain n8n workflows to orchestrate data movement, notifications, approvals, and system-to-system integrations, including robust error handling and alerting
- Integrate LLM/AI components (classification, extraction, summarization, triage) into operational workflows, with attention to accuracy, cost, and failure handling
- Design and consume APIs to connect internal tools with core banking, LOS, CRM, and third-party systems
- Design and manage Microsoft SQL Server schemas - tables, relationships, keys, indexing strategy - for new and existing internal tools, alongside query and stored-procedure optimization
- Design, build, and maintain C# API integration layers (REST services, middleware, authentication, data transformation) connecting Retool/n8n to core systems
- Own solutions end-to-end: prototype pilot with real users harden document hand off or maintain
- Rapidly iterate based on direct user feedback rather than working from a fixed spec
- Identify when a lightweight (Retool/n8n) solution is sufficient versus when a problem needs custom application code, and make that call
- Review code and designs from junior engineers and help enforce engineering standards
- Ensure solutions meet the bank's security, data governance, and compliance requirements
Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience
- 3-5+ years of experience building internal tools/automations with Retool, n8n (or similar: Zapier, Make, Appsmith, OutSystems)
- Practical experience integrating LLMs/AI models (e.g., via API - OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, etc.) into real workflows, not just prototypes
- Strong SQL skills and comfort designing schemas in Microsoft SQL Server - normalization, indexing, query optimization
- Solid, hands-on experience with C# / .NET, both consuming third-party APIs and designing/building internal ones
- Comfortable working directly with non-technical business stakeholders; can translate a vague operational pain point into a technical spec with minimal oversight
- Bias toward shipping: comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and being embedded in the business rather than working from a backlog
- Basic-to-strong scripting ability (Python or JavaScript/TypeScript) for glue code, custom n8n nodes, or Retool custom components
Axos Employee Benefits May Include:- Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
- Paid Sick Leave, 3 weeks' Vacation, and Holidays (about 11 a year)
- HSA or FSA account and other voluntary benefits
- 401(k) Retirement Saving Plan with Employer Match Program and 529 Savings Plan
- Employee Mortgage Loan Program and free access to an Axos Bank Account with Self-Directed Trading
