As a global leader in end-to-end supply chain management, we enable supply chain excellence for all industries. We are expanding our team in Chennai and around the world as we continue to innovate and revolutionize how we support our customers.

Kinaxis is building a Forward Deployed Engineers team whose singular mission is to Help customer transform how work gets done in the Agentic Age. This is not a consulting role, and it is not a features team. It is a Multi deployment unit embedded, operating with the speed and ownership culture of a startup.
This team operates as a POD inside Kinaxis — a small, tight unit with end-to-end ownership and a startup mentality inside a larger company. We are scrappy, resourceful, and self-directed. We move fast, trade tasks to whoever is closest to the need, and stay relentlessly focused on customer impact.
You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with customers — from warehouse floor to executive sponsor — designing, building, and shipping Agentic AI solutions on the Kinaxis Maestro Platform. When a solution works, you abstract it into a reusable pattern. When something breaks in production, you own the fix. You operate in a POD team: tight, multi-disciplinary, and self-directed.
💡 Attitude is the biggest asset. We hire for trajectory and mindset, not years on a resume. The right bias to action, ownership, and appetite to keep learning cannot be taught — but every technical skill here can be. Bring those, and we will invest in the rest. |
Bias to action | You move on what matters. You finish what you start. The outcome is yours — no waiting for perfect clarity. |
Self-directed | You identify what matters, secure the help or learning you need, and deliver — without being told. |
Always learning | Every customer, teammate, and new tool is a chance to level up. Not knowing something is fine; refusing to learn it is not. |
Customer-obsessed | You can sit with a frustrated VP, a skeptical architect, or a junior analyst — and leave each one feeling heard, helped, and impressed. |
Comfortable with ambiguity | Undefined problem, undefined scope, undefined success metric — and you still ship. |
Drives change, not just code | You guide customers through transitions and mentor their teams to adopt new ways of working. |
The following are the technical areas we look for. You do not need depth in all of them — we look for strong foundations, a growth trajectory, and the ability to pick up what is missing quickly.
