## About the role

Most companies make you choose: build the platform, or go deploy it. Here you do both — and that's the point.

## What they're looking for

- Partner with Afresh's account lead and the customer's technical teams to scope and architect the work — the data sources, the architecture, and the path to production
- Embed with the customer's data and engineering teams (remote and on-site), integrate into their cloud and data platform, build production-grade pipelines and model messy enterprise data into trustworthy data products
- Design and ship LLM- and agent-powered systems on that data — retrieval, agentic workflows, data-quality and analytics agents — reliable enough to run in production, not just to demo
- Build the evals, tracing, and tooling that let the team measure quality — accuracy, hallucination rate, latency, cost — and ship faster on the next customer
- Build for leverage: clean interfaces and reusable building blocks, not one-off per-customer code
- Own the flywheel: field learnings flow straight into the platform, and platform improvements show up at the next customer
