About This Job We'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 About Axos Born digital-first, Axos delivers financial tools and services that allow individuals, small businesses, and companies to access and manage their money how, when, and where they want.
