By joining our rapidly growing AI Innovation & Transformation practice you will serve as a trusted partner to our clients. You’ll bring your first-hand engineering experience, unique perspectives, and functional knowledge to design, deploy, and manage production-grade agentic AI solutions for the Office of the CFO and other enterprise functions. As a Forward Deployed Engineer & Agentic Workflow Engineer at CrossCountry Consulting you will be the tip of the spear for AI deployment at clients—embedding directly with client finance and operations teams to build, test, and iterate on agentic workflows that deliver measurable enterprise value on a compressed timeline. Operating at the intersection of software engineering, finance domain expertise, and client partnership, you will write production code alongside your clients, own the deployment of agentic solutions, and mentor junior engineers as a member of the practice team.
What you'll do:
Practice Leadership: Serve as a key leader in the AI Innovation & Transformation practice by:
- Developing reusable accelerators—contributing battle-tested code, workflow templates, and connector certifications back to the AI practice accelerator library to reduce deployment time on future engagements.
- Creating new delivery methodologies and service offerings that scale agentic solutions across clients and enterprise functions.
- Mentoring analysts and junior engineers on engagement teams, tracking and directing performance against objectives while encouraging continuous improvement and innovation.
- Contributing to recruiting, proposal writing, and firm-wide AI innovation initiatives.
What you'll bring:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with at least 2 years focused on AI/LLM application development, agentic systems, or intelligent automation; prior “forward deployed” or client-embedded engineering experience strongly preferred.
- Hands-on production experience building multi-agent systems with LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent frameworks; understanding of agent-loop design, task planning, tool-use, and memory management.
- Proficiency in Python (primary) and TypeScript/JavaScript; experience with FastAPI or equivalent for exposing agent capabilities as APIs.
- Deep understanding of LLM capabilities and limitations: prompt engineering, structured outputs, function calling, context-window management, cost optimization, and latency tradeoffs across frontier models.
- Experience integrating enterprise source systems via APIs and MCP connectors; familiarity with ERP, EPM, EDW/Data Lakes, and CRM data schemas in a finance context is a significant plus.
- Working knowledge of cloud data platforms (Azure, GCP, or AWS) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes); experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, or equivalent) and RAG pipelines.
- Finance domain fluency—ability to understand and implement workflows covering month-end close, variance analysis, revenue recognition, AR/AP, and FP&A without requiring extensive hand-holding from client finance teams.
- Exceptional ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving client environments; a demonstrated track record of delivering working software in compressed, high-stakes timelines.
- Clear, confident communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders; ability to present live-agent demonstrations to CFOs and finance leadership.
- Continuous Learning Mindset: Openness to continuously learning and applying emerging LLM capabilities, agent frameworks, and enterprise integration patterns.
Qualifications:
- A bachelor’s degree from an accredited university in computer science, software engineering,
mathematics, or a related technical discipline.
- Relevant certifications in cloud platforms (Azure AI Engineer, AWS Machine Learning Specialty,
GCP Professional ML Engineer), LangChain, or equivalent agentic AI tooling preferred.
- Willingness to travel domestically up to 20%–40% (varies by client engagement phase).
- Availability to work on client site or in office 3 days a week, with 2 days remote (hybrid
environment).
