Fireworks is a Series D AI infrastructure platform enabling companies to build, train, and serve specialized AI models tailored to their data and workflows. The company is backed by major investors including NVIDIA, Sequoia, AMD, and others, and is valued at $17.5 billion.
As Strategic Projects Lead, you'll drive high-impact, cross-functional initiatives at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and Go-To-Market. This is a high-agency role where you'll wear multiple hats and operate with significant autonomy.
Key responsibilities include:
- Identifying and creating new strategic capabilities for Fireworks, such as new GTM motions or standardized playbooks
- Building deep relationships with customers and leading strategic engagements from initial sale through long-term success
- Determining product roadmap needs and instrumenting end-to-end solutions
- Owning and driving cross-functional initiatives from definition to execution, including partnership creation and model launches
You'll need at least 1+ years of experience in a high-ownership, fast-paced environment (consulting, product management, software, or banking). Essential qualifications include an entrepreneurial mindset, ability to engage with senior stakeholders, technical fluency in AI/ML infrastructure or cloud platforms, and proven track record leading complex technical or cross-functional initiatives. Strong analytical capabilities, excellent communication skills, and bias toward action are critical.
Preferred experience includes work on ML infrastructure, inference systems, AI platforms, enterprise customer support, infrastructure/DevEx initiatives, or high-growth startup environments. You'll collaborate with world-class engineers and AI researchers, tackle challenges in low-latency inference and scalable model serving, and directly shape the future of enterprise AI with minimal bureaucracy.
