Full Job Description

WHAT IS BOX? Box (NYSE:BOX) is the leader in Intelligent Content Management. Our platform enables organizations to fuel collaboration, manage the entire content lifecycle, secure critical content, and transform business workflows with enterprise AI. We help companies thrive in the new AI-first era of business. Founded in 2005, Box simplifies work for leading global organizations, including JLL, Morgan Stanley, and Nationwide. Box is headquartered in Redwood City, CA, with offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia. By joining Box, you will have the unique opportunity to continue driving our platform forward. Content powers how we work. It’s the billions of files and information flowing across teams, departments, and key business processes every single day: contracts, invoices, employee records, financials, product specs, marketing assets, and more. Our mission is to bring intelligence to the world of content management and empower our customers to completely transform workflows across their organizations. With the combination of AI and enterprise content, the opportunity has never been greater to transform how the world works together and at Box you will be on the front lines of this massive shift.

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 sophi
