Axos Bank • San Diego, CA

About The Position

We're looking for a Junior Forward Deployed Engineer to help rapidly ship working software that solves real operational problems. You'll work alongside senior engineers — sitting with stakeholders to understand a workflow, then helping build the automations, internal tools, and integrations that make it faster and safer.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science , Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience
• 0–2+ years of professional experience in software development, data engineering, or a related technical field (internships and academic projects count)
• Some exposure to building internal tools/automations with Retool, n8n , or similar (Zapier, Make, Power Automate, Appsmith )
• Foundational SQL skills — queries, joins, basic schema design — ideally in Microsoft SQL Server
• Exposure to or coursework in C# / .NET , or strong proficiency in another OOP language with willingness to ramp up on C#
• Basic understanding of REST APIs and JSON, both consuming and (with support) building them
• Comfortable working directly with non-technical business stakeholders and asking clarifying questions
• Basic scripting ability (Python or JavaScript/TypeScript) for glue code or Retool custom components

Responsibilities

• Sit in on stakeholder sessions to help map current-state workflows, with senior engineers, to spot where automation or tooling can remove manual effort or risk
• Build and maintain internal applications and dashboards in Retool — case management, review queues, approvals, operational visibility — under the guidance of senior engineers
• Build and support n8n workflows for data movement, notifications, approvals, and system-to-system integrations
• Write and troubleshoot SQL queries and stored procedures against Microsoft SQL Server, and assist in designing and documenting database schemas for new features
• Assist in building and consuming C# APIs connecting internal tools to core banking and other systems
• Help implement AI/LLM-assisted steps (e.g., classification or extraction) into workflows under senior direction, with attention to accuracy and failure handling
• Test, debug, and document workflows and applications; write clear runbooks and support notes
• Monitor deployed tools and automations, escalate issues, and assist with incident triage
• Support data validation and reconciliation tasks tied to automated workflows
• Take feedback from real users and iterate on your piece of a solution rather than working from a fixed backlog ticket

Benefits

• 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
