Accordion Senior Software Engineer at Accordion working on AI and agentic systems in a client-facing, high-velocity environment. Develops agent logic, RAG pipelines, and evaluation frameworks under staff engineer guidance.
Responsibilities
This posting covers two levels: Associate Software Engineer and Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for engineers who want to build real agentic systems, not tinker with demos. You’ll work under the direction of Staff-level engineers on live client engagements — writing the agent logic, the RAG pipeline, the eval harness — and growing steadily toward owning a workstream yourself.
This is a highly technical, hands-on role in a high-velocity, client-facing environment: sprints are short, client expectations are high, and the work is real from week one. You’ll be expected to ship fast, learn quickly, and raise your own bar on what AI-assisted delivery looks like. 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, and are comfortable being early in their AI-native career while still moving at a fast clip. They treat AI tools as something to get genuinely good at using, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and course-correct quickly when something isn’t working.
Build and ship components of multi-agent systems and RAG pipelines for PE-backed portfolio company engagements, under the guidance of more senior engineers
Contribute to prompt engineering, tool design, and deployment for production AI systems
Write and run evals as part of eval-driven development — define success criteria before you build, not after
Help translate client requirements into technical tasks, with support from your pod on the ambiguous parts
Build observability into the systems you ship so quality is measurable, not assumed
At the Senior level: independently own a workstream (an agentic pipeline, a RAG system, or an eval framework) end-to-end, and present your own architecture decisions to internal and client stakeholders
Success in the First 6 Months
Associate: productive on an active client engagement within 30 days; shipping real code and learning the client’s data landscape quickly; contributing meaningfully to at least one production system by month 6
Senior: shipped at least one end-to-end agentic solution from scoping through production; owns a workstream independently; has built enough credibility with the pod and the client to be trusted with the next hard problem without heavy hand-holding
