Founding Senior Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering

Founded in 2017, Afresh is using AI to tackle the #1 solution to curb climate change: reducing food waste. By building AI specifically for the intricacies of grocery—from the fresh perimeter to the center store—we help grocers minimize waste and maximize sales.

You'll build and lead the team of forward deployed engineers who embed with our enterprise grocery customers, integrating into their data, shipping AI systems on top of it, and hardening what works into our platform. 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.

What you'll do:

• Hire, develop and retain forward deployed engineers. Set the technical bar and the standard for how the team works with customers.
• Lead execution across concurrent customer engagements: what gets built, in what order, and to what quality bar.
• Staff engagements across accounts, making resourcing calls that balance customer need, team development and what the platform needs next.
• Run regular 1:1s and invest in career growth. Several of our engineers are strong builders doing customer-facing work for the first time.
• Stay hands-on enough to review architectures and code, lead technical discovery sessions, and debug alongside your team when an account calls for it.
