This role is not open to visa sponsorship or transfer of visa sponsorship including those on H1-B, F-1, OPT, STEM-OPT, or TN visa, nor is it available to work corp-to-corp.

This role requires a hybrid schedule and will be based in our South Charlotte, NC or New York, NY office (Tuesday through Thursday) and optional remote days on Mondays and Fridays each week.

We’re hiring a Senior Engineer who builds with AI by default. Someone for whom agentic tools are the IDE, not the side project. You’ll own the technical direction of our personalization and data platform, built on Go microservices, TypeScript applications, and Python-based AI agents. Your job is to ship product features, make the platform smarter and faster, and raise the bar for how the team builds software. You’re a senior IC with tech-lead scope: you own technical direction for your domain, influence architecture decisions across the team, and lead by building, not by org chart.

What You’ll Do

Ship Product & Platform Features

• Architect and evolve the personalization and data platform powering our consumer experiences
• Design high-performance backend services in Go and full-stack features in React + TypeScript, built for scalability, observability, and maintainability
• Build RAG pipelines, semantic search, and LLM-powered product features, including embedding models, vector stores, reranking, and eval-driven quality loops
• Drive CI/CD and infrastructure maturity via GitHub Actions, Terraform, and AWS

Build AI Into the Platform

• Design and ship multi-agent systems using LangGraph, AutoGen, or custom orchestration that operate across the development lifecycle
• Break down our multi-language codebase into AI-addressable, agent-ready modules: clean interfaces, well-scoped context, documented patterns
• Own the agentic development scaffolding: tool integrations, MCP servers, and shared infrastructure that make every engineer on the team more effective

Multiply the Team’s Output

• Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or whatever’s next) as co-engineers, not autocomplete, and help the team do the same
• Build shared configurations, custom tool integrations, and workflow hooks that encode team conventions and eliminate repeated decisions
• Spot opportunities to automate engineering toil (test generation, PR summarization, migration scripts, dependency upgrades, documentation) and build the tooling to make it happen
• Track and share measurable productivity gains with engineering leadership

Raise the Engineering Bar

• Run pairing sessions, internal demos, and workshops that build real AI capability across the team
• Define practical AI engineering standards: prompt engineering practices, context window management, human-in-the-loop thresholds, and eval frameworks
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers on how to build effectively with AI as a core skill
• Partner with Engineering Leadership to shape the AI adoption roadmap across the portfolio

What You Bring

Must-Have

• An established AI-native development practice: agentic tools are part of your daily workflow, with results to show for it. Faster delivery, fewer manual steps, higher output
• 6+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership on complex systems
• Expert in TypeScript (frontend and backend) and production-grade Go for high-performance services
• Strong React and modern frontend architecture experience
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude preferred): prompt engineering, tool use, structured outputs, streaming, context management
• Solid understanding of RAG architecture: vector stores, chunking strategies, embedding models, reranking, eval loops
• Experience with CI/CD, Terraform, and AWS in a production engineering context

Nice-to-Have

• Experience building and shipping agentic systems in production: multi-step tool-calling agents, orchestration pipelines (LangGraph, LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or custom)
• Familiarity with agentic coding CLI tools and workflow automation that encodes team patterns at the repo level
• Knowledge of MCP (Model Context Protocol) and experience building or integrating MCP servers
• Experience with code intelligence: AST parsing, static analysis, code graph construction
• Background in developer platform or internal tooling engineering
• Experience with eval frameworks: RAGAS, LangSmith, Braintrust, or custom evaluation infrastructure
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, message queuing (Kafka, SQS), and distributed systems patterns
• Experience with data platforms, ETL pipelines, or personalization systems at scale
• Active contributions to open source or technical community leadership

Mindset

• You treat repetitive engineering work as a problem to solve, not a cost of doing business
• Your first instinct when facing toil is: can an agent handle this?
• You stay current on model releases, agent design patterns, and emerging frameworks because you’re genuinely interested, not because someone assigned it
• You balance velocity with rigor: you ship fast, think in systems, and don’t create hidden debt

Show Us Your Work

We care about what you’ve built. In your application, please share GitHub repos, demos, writeups, or anything that shows your approach to AI-native development. Side projects, open-source contributions, and technical blog posts all count.

If you crave challenging work and are looking to grow, come solve complex issues alongside 1,600+ finance & technology experts in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Backed by premier private equity firms and headquartered in New York with 11 offices around the globe, we are a high-growth, entrepreneurial firm looking for people who want to be part of building something great. Come make your mark. 

Data & Analytics

Accordion's Data & Analytics (D&A) team offers cutting-edge, intelligent solutions to a global clientele, leveraging a blend of domain knowledge, sophisticated technology tools, and deep analytics capabilities to tackle complex business challenges.

We partner with Private Equity clients and their Portfolio Companies across diverse sectors, including Retail, CPG, Healthcare, Media & Entertainment, Technology, and Logistics.

This role can be based in any of our US office locations and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week. Ideal candidates should be local to the desired location.

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

Accordion Intelligence Lab

The AI Lab is composed of leading software and AI engineers, designing agentic-AI solutions ahead of the market. Our group builds and operationalizes the AI systems that power Accordion’s consulting capabilities, from agentic architectures and RAG pipelines to evaluation frameworks and production observability.

The Lab works closely with practice leaders to translate research findings into scalable, reliable tools that advance Accordion’s AI-driven value creation work for PE clients and their portfolio companies.

About the Role

We’re looking for experienced AI Engineers to join new AI-augmented delivery pods: purpose-built teams that combine AI engineering, data science, and product management to transform how PE-backed companies run finance and operations.

In this role, you will design and build the AI systems that power client engagements: agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and production-grade tools that operate in real PE environments. You’ll work directly with clients and cross-functional pod teammates from day one, and you will be expected to ship fast, defend your decisions, and continuously raise the bar on what AI-assisted delivery looks like.

This is a highly technical, hands-on role. We move at sprint pace—not quarter pace. If you want to move quickly, own outcomes end-to-end, and build things that matter in finance, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build multi-agent systems and RAG pipelines that automate financial workflows for PE-backed portfolio companies
• Own the full stack from prompt engineering and tool design through deployment and monitoring
• Practice eval-driven development: define how success is measured before you build
• Translate ambiguous client problems into engineering requirements and deliver results in compressed timeframes
• Present and defend architectural decisions to technical and non-technical audiences—including CFOs and PE operators
• Build observability and evaluation infrastructure to continuously improve production AI system quality
• Travel to client site as needed

Success in the First 6 Months

• Work with like-mined AI engineers to ship at least one end-to-end agentic solution in a client engagement, from scoping through production
• Establish evaluation infrastructure for your pod’s systems so that quality is measurable and regressions are caught early
• Demonstrate materially faster delivery cycles because of how you use AI tools—not just that you use them
• Build a reputation within the pod and with clients as someone who can be handed a hard problem and trusted to return a working, defensible solution

What You’ll Bring

• AI tools are woven into how you work daily—you are materially faster because of it, and you can demonstrate that concretely
• 3–8+ years of software engineering experience with a notable portion in AI/ML systems, agent development, or applied LLM engineering
• Hands-on experience building production LLM applications: RAG systems, agentic workflows, tool use, multi-agent orchestration
• Proficiency in Python; experience with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, DSPy, or equivalent orchestration frameworks
• Strong grasp of evaluation methodologies: designing evals, catching regressions, assessing LLM output quality
• Solid data engineering fundamentals: ETL design, SQL/NoSQL, vector databases, streaming or batch pipelines

Nice to Have

• Open-source contributions in the AI/ML space
• Finance or PE domain experience: FP&A, GL data, ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP), or financial workflow automation
• Experience building tools for reuse across multiple clients or in multi-tenant architectures
• Prior experience in consulting, professional services, or client-facing delivery environments

This is a high-velocity environment. Sprints are short, client expectations are high, and we don’t slow down between engagements. If you’ve spent time in large enterprise engineering organizations where velocity is constrained by process, this will feel different.

The people who thrive here are those who find the pace energizing, not exhausting. They ship fast because they’ve internalized good judgment—not because they cut corners. They use AI tools to multiply their output, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and course-correct quickly when something isn’t working.

The annual salary for this role ranges from: $144,500 to $230,000 USD + significant bonus + benefits. Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.

Accordion is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.  We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, marital status, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical​​​ condition, pregnancy, genetic information, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or ​expression, veteran status, or any other status protected under federal, state, or local law.

Please note that as per Accordion policy, we do not accept unsolicited resumes from third-party recruiters unless such recruiters are engaged to provide candidates for a specified opening and in alignment with our inclusive diversity values. Any employment agency, person or entity that submits an unsolicited resume does so with the understanding that Accordion will have the right to hire that applicant at its discretion without any fee owed to the submitting employment agency, person or entity.
