You'll own the technical relationship with each customer's engineering leaders, and you'll partner with the Deployment Strategist who owns the account to plan and sequence the work.</p><p>This is a player-coach role with a strong bias toward leadership. You'll review architecture, unblock your engineers, and get into the code when an account needs it, but most of your week goes to leading the team's execution and to customer stakeholders rather than to personally building. This team will be part of an existing AI engineering group, but will be built and scaled from the ground up.</p><p>We're looking for an architect rather than a specialist. You should be able to hold a grocer's data estate and our platform in view at the same time and judge where the two meet, without needing to be the deepest expert in any single layer.</p><h3>What You'll Do</h3><p><strong>Lead the team</strong></p><ul><li>Hire, develop and retain forward deployed engineers. Set the technical bar and the standard for how the team works with customers.</li><li>Lead execution across concurrent customer engagements: what gets built, in what order, and to what quality bar.</li><li>Staff engagements across accounts, making resourcing calls that balance customer need, team development and what the platform needs next.</li><li>Run regular 1:1s and invest in career growth. Several of our engineers are strong builders doing customer-facing work for the first time.</li><li>Stay hands-on enough to review architectures and code, lead technical discovery sessions, and debug alongside your team when an account calls for it.</li></ul><p><strong>Own the technical relationship</strong></p><ul><li>Be the senior technical partner to each customer's engineering and data leadership. Set the delivery roadmap with them, defend the architecture behind it, and tell them early when something slips.</li><li>Partner with the Deployment Strategist on overall account execution. They own the customer relationship and the commercial picture; you own the technical plan and whether it lands.</li><li>Turn a broad business goal, like reducing shrink, into a scoped program with a sequence, a cost and a date.</li><li>Work out how each customer actually operates, most of which is undocumented: what they mean by an "item," who signs off on a markdown, which exception path the DC team uses every week. The real constraint is usually not the stated objection.</li></ul><p><strong>Own the architecture across accounts</strong></p><ul><li>Own one reference architecture for AIE that holds across deployments, covering our current hosted default and the customer-cloud exceptions, so platform features ship once rather than once per customer.</li><li>Decide what gets hardened into the shared platform, what gets built for a single customer, and what we decline to build.</li><li>Set production standards for reliability, security review, data residency, and the evals and tracing that show whether a deployed AI system is actually working.</li></ul><p><strong>Close the loop into the platform</strong></p><ul><li>Partner with our platform engineers to turn field learnings into product, so each deployment costs less than the one before it.</li><li>Build the repeatable playbooks, scoping templates and starter repos that capture what the team learns in the field.</li><li>Travel to customer sites roughly 25–40%, weighted toward engagement kickoffs and readouts.</li></ul><h3>What Makes You a Great Fit</h3><p>We encourage all highly-qualified candidates to apply, even if they do not fulfill all the listed criteria.</p><ul><li>10+ years in software engineering, solutions architecture, consulting or a technical customer-facing role, including 2+ years managing engineers in a services, post-sales or forward deployed organization.</li><li>Executive presence, with the ability to move between a roadmap conversation with a customer's VP of Data and a debugging session with your own engineer.</li><li>Architect's range across ingestion, data modeling, application and AI, with the judgment to see how the pieces fit and where the risk sits.</li><li>A track record of working out how a business actually runs when none of it is written down: what it treats as real, how work moves through it, which rules are policy and which are one person's habit.</li><li>Production AI and LLM experience across retrieval, tool use and agentic workflows, with the habit of measuring quality rather than eyeballing it.</li><li>Experience delivering inside someone else's enterprise: their cloud, their security review, their change management, their politics.</li><li>Willingness to travel to customer sites roughly 25–40%.</li></ul><h3>Nice to Have</h3><ul><li>Grocery, retail or supply chain data.</li><li>Having built a forward deployed, professional services or solutions engineering function from scratch.</li><li>Knowledge graphs, ontologies or semantic layers running in production.</li><li>Delivering the same product both vendor-hosted and inside a customer's own cloud, and owning the abstraction between them.</li></ul><h3>Why Afresh?</h3><ul><li>We're a mission-driven company that eliminates hundreds of millions of pounds of food waste in grocery stores every year, so your work has direct and visible impact.</li><li>You'd found the forward deployed team: its people, its standards and the way it works. That's rare at a company already in production with enterprise customers.</li><li>This team reports into engineering, not sales. The job is deciding which customer problems are worth solving once for everyone, rather than closing the account in front of you.</li><li>You'll stay technical. We want an architect who manages, not a manager who used to be technical.</li><li>Be part of an engineering culture that's genuinely AI-forward — we want to be on the bleeding edge of agentic development, not watching from the sidelines.</li><li>Collaborative, supportive environment &amp; awesome people.</li></ul><p><strong>This position is not eligible for company sponsorship.</strong></p><p>Salary Band in U.S. (USD): $203,745 - $275,655 + meaningful early-stage equity + benefits</p><h3> </h3><div><div> </div><div><strong>Why You’ll Love Working at Afresh</strong><br>At Afresh, our mission to eliminate food waste starts with investing in our people.

Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

<div><p>Afresh, the AI platform for grocery, began by tackling the most complex problem in the industry: fresh, and has evolved into the core AI platform for grocers.</p><p>By leveraging proprietary AI designed for high-volatility environments, we empower partners like Albertsons, Meijer, and Wakefern to drive smarter decisions across their entire enterprise.</p><p>Following record-breaking 70% revenue growth in 2025, we have scaled to 6 enterprise-grade solutions, with solutions live in over 10% of the U.S. grocery market. Our platform now orchestrates billions of decisions from the store floor to the distribution center and prevented over 200 million pounds of food waste last year alone.</p><p>If you're looking for a role where your work directly translates into massive scale and social good, and you want to be part of the team that defines how the world eats, there is no better time to join us.</p></div><h2><span style="font-size:14pt;">About the Role</span></h2><p>We're looking for a sharp, proactive Strategic Finance Lead to be the beating heart of financial planning and analysis on our Strategy &amp; Finance team. This is a rare build-it role: you'll be our sole dedicated FP&amp;A partner, owning the models, forecasts, and insights that guide decision-making across the company — and reporting directly to the VP of Strategy &amp; Finance.</p><p>What makes this seat different is how we expect the work to get done. We're not looking for someone to rebuild the same static spreadsheets faster. We want a finance operator who treats AI as a core part of their toolkit — using it to sharpen forecasts, pressure-test assumptions, automate the manual, and surface the insights that move the business. If you're energized by the idea of shaping both the numbers and the way modern finance gets done, this is your role.</p><p>You'll join a fast-paced, mission-driven Series B environment where your analysis directly informs how leadership allocates capital, sets targets, and places bets. You'll partner across every function, develop a deep understanding of the business, and see your work reflected in the decisions that shape our trajectory.</p><h2><span style="font-size:14pt;">What You'll Do</span></h2><ul><li><strong>Own forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning</strong> — build and maintain the financial models that drive the annual budget, quarterly and monthly forecasts, and multi-year strategic plans.</li><li><strong>Run the planning cycles end to end</strong> — partner with department heads to build plans that are both realistic and ambitious, and hold the process together as the single owner of FP&amp;A.</li><li><strong>Turn results into insight</strong> — analyze actuals against budget and forecast, explain the variances, and translate what happened into what we should do next.</li><li><strong>Define and track the metrics that matter</strong> — develop KPIs and build clear, trustworthy dashboards and reporting that tell leadership the truth about performance quickly.</li><li><strong>Be a true business partner</strong> — embed with Sales, Marketing, Product, Engineering, and Operations to support strategic initiatives with financial analysis and a point of view.</li><li><strong>Inform the big decisions</strong> — prepare board-quality analysis and presentations for the executive team on financial performance, unit economics, and key business drivers.</li><li><strong>Support strategic and ad-hoc work</strong> — model scenarios for fundraising, new product launches, pricing, and market expansion, and stand up analysis on whatever question is most important that week.</li><li><strong>Raise the bar on how finance operates</strong> — drive process improvements across the FP&amp;A function to make it faster, more accurate, and more scalable as the company grows.</li></ul><h2><span style="font-size:14pt;">How You'll Use AI in This Role</span></h2><p>We believe AI is reshaping what a lean finance team can accomplish, and we want someone who is already leaning into it — or hungry to. This isn't a buzzword on the JD; it's a real expectation of how you'll work day to day. In this role, you'll:</p><ul><li><strong>Sharpen forecasting and modeling with AI</strong> — use AI tools and techniques to improve forecast accuracy, test assumptions, run scenarios faster, and stress-test the models behind key decisions.</li><li><strong>Automate the manual</strong> — apply AI to streamline data gathering, reconciliation, reporting, and the repetitive parts of the close and planning cycles, so your time goes to analysis instead of assembly.</li><li><strong>Generate insight, not just outputs</strong> — use AI to interrogate large and messy datasets, surface patterns and anomalies, and pull out the business insights that drive decisions.</li><li><strong>Help set the standard</strong> — experiment with new AI-enabled finance tools and workflows, and help establish how our finance function uses AI responsibly and effectively as we scale.</li></ul><p><strong>You don't need to be an engineer.</strong> You do need to be genuinely curious about these tools, comfortable putting them to work, and thoughtful about where AI adds rigor versus where human judgment has to lead.</p><h2><span style="font-size:14pt;">What You'll Bring</span></h2><ul><li>5+ years of progressive FP&amp;A or strategic finance experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or technology company. (We care more about the caliber of your work than the exact number of years.)</li><li>Exceptional financial modeling skills — you build complex, elegant, and genuinely usable models, and you're a wizard with the tools of the trade.</li><li>Demonstrated use of AI in your work — you've already applied AI tools to forecasting, analysis, automation, or reporting, or you have a clear track record of adopting new technology to work smarter.</li><li>A strong grasp of GAAP, the three financial statements, and how they connect.</li><li>Proven ability to analyze financial data, find the signal, and communicate it clearly to both finance and non-finance audiences.</li><li>Excellent communication and presentation skills, and the judgment to tailor the message to the audience — from an analyst to the CEO.</li><li>Experience with financial planning and reporting software; comfort with SQL or BI tools is a plus.</li><li>A proactive, ownership-driven mindset — you're comfortable being the one person accountable for FP&amp;A and you thrive without a playbook.</li><li>The ability to move fast, manage competing priorities, and stay accurate under pressure.</li><li>A collaborative spirit and a knack for building trust across the organization.</li><li>Bonus: experience in enterprise SaaS, supply chain, or the grocery/retail space.</li></ul><h2><span style="font-size:14pt;">Why This Role</span></h2><ul><li><strong>Real ownership from day one</strong> — you'll own FP&amp;A outright, with direct exposure to the VP of Strategy &amp; Finance and the executive team.</li><li><strong>High-leverage impact</strong> — your analysis directly shapes how the company plans, invests, and grows through a pivotal stage.</li><li><strong>Build the future of finance</strong> — a genuine mandate to bring AI into how a modern finance function operates, not just permission to tinker at the edges.</li><li><strong>Remote-first and flexible</strong> — work from anywhere in the U.S., with a team that cares about outcomes over hours.</li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>This position is not eligible for company sponsorship.</strong></p><p>Salary Band in U.S.: $160,000-$220,000 <span>+ meaningful early-stage equity + benefits</span></p><p> </p><div><div> </div><div><strong>Why You’ll Love Working at Afresh</strong><br>At Afresh, our mission to eliminate food waste starts with investing in our people.
