About AZX

Our mission is to accelerate positive impact in critical industries through AI transformation.

We’re growing quickly and already work with category-leaders in real estate (CBRE), energy (LevelTen Energy), logistics (Flexe) and utilities.

We’re a public benefit corporation, founded in 2024 and have been profitable from inception.

We work on challenges in clean energy, decarbonization, climate risk, energy systems and global economics. We’re building our company for long term success and aim to build the ultimate place to work if you’re passionate about AI and positive impact.

About the Role

We are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to join a team that scopes, builds, deploys, and measures AI systems inside client environments — utilities, commercial real estate, and logistics. Your software runs in the client's cloud, under their identity provider and toolchain, inside their compliance framework, integrated with their systems of record — you bring the right mix of models and tools for the job rather than working around it. The work is agentic AI with a correctness envelope: think document intelligence with deterministic, auditable validation where money or compliance is on the line, voice-of-customer AI, cognitive digital twins of a client's customers, and human-in-the-loop agentic workflows, all measured against real before/after baselines rather than left as shelf-ware. You won't be handed a finished spec — you'll sit with the client's operators and executives to find the real problem, design the solution with their architects, build it with your pod, and prove it worked with numbers both companies stand behind. You bring a strong area of expertise and expect to use it, and work closely with our team across DevOps, infrastructure, data pipelines, front end, and back end as the engagement requires — you are the engineering face of AZX.
