In this role, you will own the technical path from discovery and scoping through system design, hands-on build, integration, rollout, and production stabilization. You will work directly with customer engineering teams, operational users, and domain stakeholders to understand their workflows and translate them into working AI-powered systems. You will write and review production-grade code, make architecture decisions, troubleshoot deployment challenges, and help customers adopt what you build. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can operate independently, manage complex technical ambiguity, and coordinate across teams to deliver customer outcomes. Success will be measured through production adoption, measurable workflow impact, deployment quality, and the field feedback you provide to improve Accrete's product and model roadmap., * Own technical delivery across complex customer deployments from first prototype to stable production use. * Own planning, staffing, prioritization, and delivery governance for forward deployed engineering engagements. * Partner directly with customer engineering, technical, operational, and domain teams to understand workflows, constraints, and success criteria. * Design and build full-stack systems, integrations, configurations, and deployment workflows that deliver measurable customer value. * Write and review production-grade code across frontend, backend, data, and integration layers using Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, or comparable technologies. * Configure and operationalize AI agents, retrieval workflows, data pipelines, and customer-specific system integrations. * Scope technical work, sequence delivery, identify dependencies, and remove blockers early. * Make practical tradeoffs across scope, speed, quality, security, and customer impact. * Support production rollout, adoption, monitoring, troubleshooting, and iteration in customer environments. * Translate field learnings into reusable tools, playbooks, implementation patterns, and technical building blocks for other deployments. * Share structured feedback with Product, Engineering, and Research on where models, workflows, and platform capabilities succeed or need improvement. * Collaborate with Deployment Strategy to connect business outcomes and technical execution. * Support deployments in regulated environments, including environments with complex security and infrastructure constraints. * Coordinate with other technical contributors when deployments require cross-functional execution., You work seamlessly across teams, prioritizing shared goals and team success over individual credit. Engaged listening and open, candid communication are at the heart of your approach, ensuring alignment and synergy throughout the organization. You value diverse perspectives, seeking input from others to drive better results. By treating colleagues with respect and professionalism, you help build a culture of trust, supporting each other through challenges, celebrating successes, and constructively addressing conflicts to strengthen relationships and improve outcomes., You are deeply excited about the transformative potential of AI and committed to contributing to a company shaping the future of work.
