Embedded AI experts that put your content to work
The engineers turning enterprise content into AI impact
The biggest challenge in enterprise AI isn’t the model — it’s giving that model secure access to the content, context, and business rules that make it useful. Box Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) solve that problem by helping organizations turn governed enterprise content into the context AI needs to do meaningful work. Combining expertise, AI fluency, and consulting discipline, Box FDEs design model-agnostic workflows that connect content, metadata, permissions, and business logic to real outcomes. See how Box FDEs can empower your teams to move beyond experimentation to enterprise-grade AI deployments aligned to how business actually operates.
What is a Box Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)?
Box Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) are embedded technical experts who help enterprises design, deploy, and optimize secure AI workflows on governed content in Box. They combine content architecture, retrieval and context-pipeline design, prompt engineering, agentic workflow design, and AI evaluation to move organizations from AI experimentation to production deployments aligned to unique business processes.

Box FDEs help organizations strengthen their content foundation for AI, improving readiness, control, and confidence before workflows go live. We help to prepare your content, metadata, permissions, and governance so AI can operate with trusted context from day one.
Deploy secure, effective agentic workflows
Design and deploy practical AI workflows, agents, and prompts that solve your most pressing business challenges. With FDEs embedded into your organization, you bring ideas to production quickly with solutions aligned to your processes that deliver measurable outcomes.
