Lead AI Engineer Artificial Intelligence
Role Overview
Accordion is looking for experienced AI Engineers to join our 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. You will work with clients and cross-functional delivery pod teammates contributing to the design, development and maintenance of AI solutions that address complex business challenges for clients globally and continuously raise the bar on what AI-assisted delivery looks like.
In this role, you will be actively involved in AI solution architecture design, work hands-on with large language models, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent frameworks, contribute across the MEAN/MERN stack and guide a team of Associates gaining practical depth across the full AI product engineering lifecycle, from discovery through production.
What You will do:
- Propose AI solution architecture to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with engineering standards
- Build and iterate on Generative AI features encompassing prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, and multi agent workflows using AI orchestration frameworks
- Integrate large language models into enterprise applications, ensuring reliable data flow and seamless compatibility with existing systems and data sources
- Develop prototypes and proof of concepts to validate AI solutions, iterating on models based on stakeholder feedback prior to full-scale implementation
- Write and execute regression evaluation suites for LLM-based features, ensuring output quality and consistency across releases
- Build observability and evaluation infrastructure to continuously improve production AI system quality
- Monitor AI pipelines and application components using observability platforms; proactively identify, investigate, and escalate issues before they impact delivery
- Develop and maintain web applications using the MEAN or MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular or React.js, Node.js) on Azure and AWS platforms
- Write clean, well-structured, and testable code in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, adhering to REST API design principles and established engineering standards
- Debug and resolve production issues within sprint timelines, documenting root cause analysis and resolution steps clearly
- Maintain technical documentation, API specifications, and CI/CD pipeline integrity
- Guide and mentor Associates within the pod, conducting code reviews, sharing knowledge, and supporting their technical development
- Write product requirement documents (PRDs), user stories, and functional specifications to translate engagement goals into clearly scoped development tasks
- Translate ambiguous client problems into engineering requirements and deliver results in compressed timeframes
- Present and defend architectural decisions to technical and non-technical audiences
- Lead sprint ceremonies planning, standups, and retrospectives ensuring pod velocity is maintained and blockers are surfaced and resolved promptly
- Drive working sessions and demonstrations, articulating the features built and translating stakeholder feedback into well-defined user stories and development tickets
- Communicate workstream outcomes clearly and consistently to internal stakeholders, and actively participate in cross-functional working sessions
Ideally, you have:
- Undergraduate degree (B.E./B.Tech.) in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related engineering discipline; candidates from tier-1 or tier-2 institutions are preferred
- 4-8 years of overall software development experience, with a demonstrable track record of building and delivering production-grade applications
- A minimum of 1-2 years of hands-on experience designing and developing Generative AI applications including LLM integration, RAG pipeline development, multi agent workflows and evaluation frameworks; equivalent depth through projects or academic work will be considered, given the emerging nature of the field
- Strong understanding of AI orchestration and agent frameworks, and core RAG principles including chunking strategies, embedding models, and experience with vector databases and semantic retrieval pipelines
- Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, DSPy, or equivalent orchestration frameworks
- A minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience with the MERN or MEAN stack MongoDB, Express.js, React.js or Angular, Node.js with multiple deployed projects across the full development lifecycle
- Proficiency in Python for AI and SQL for data querying; working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript for full-stack development
- Experience in developing collaborative development workflows using Git and GitHub or GitLab, including branching strategies and pull request reviews; experience with CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with cloud-native AI services, containerization using Docker, and exposure to microservices architecture and event-driven integration patterns
- 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
- Proven ability to define and own technical architecture for full engagements selecting frameworks, designing integration patterns, and making defensible architectural decisions without supervision
- Comfortable using AI productivity tools daily to accelerate research, writing, and coding tasks; candidates should be able to demonstrate tangible productivity gains from their use
- Demonstrated ability to guide and mentor junior engineers through code reviews, technical discussions, and structured knowledge sharing
- Strong learning agility and the ability to operate effectively in a collaborative, sprint-driven delivery environment with high client expectations
- Familiarity with enterprise business applications and workflows; domain knowledge in any industry vertical will be viewed favorably
