Staff AI Platform Engineer
San Francisco, CA
Apply
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.
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.
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.
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.
About the Role
Frontier models are a commodity. The knowledge you feed them is not.
As a Staff AI Platform Engineer, you build the AI and data platform that powers Afresh's products: the knowledge and retrieval layer that makes grocery data reliably usable by LLMs, the agent systems built on top of it, and the evaluation and serving infrastructure underneath. Your "customers" are Afresh's own engineers and AI products — your job is to give them a platform that turns raw grocery data into context a model can be trusted with, at production quality.
This is senior, 0-to-1 platform work. You'll make foundational choices about how we represent grocery knowledge, ground our models, and measure whether any of it is actually working — in a fast-moving space with no playbook.
What You’ll Do
Build the knowledge & retrieval layer
Design and operate the knowledge graph and ontology that capture how grocery data relates.
Build the retrieval systems (vector, graph, and structured) that feed the right context to our models — so grounding is reliable, not lucky.
Build and serve the agent platform
Build LLM-powered agents (tool-use, multi-step reasoning, orchestration) and the serving infrastructure to run them reliably and cost-effectively.
Build the tools, abstractions, and interfaces other engineers depend on — a platform, not one-off features.
Own evaluation, quality, and the data foundation
Stand up eval sets, LLM-as-judge harnesses, tracing, and observability, plus the metrics (faithfulness, accuracy, hallucination rate, latency, cost) that tell us whether a change helped or hurt.
Build the pipelines, data products, and experimentation on Databricks/MLflow that take work from prototype to production — and partner with the engineers deploying our AI in the field to harden what works into reusable capabilities.
What Makes You a Good Fit
We encourage all highly-qualified candidates to apply, even if they do not fulfill all the listed criteria.
5+ years building production software, data, or ML systems; an excellent engineer with strong systems and API design (Python).
Hands-on production experience with LLM systems: retrieval/RAG, agents and tool-use, prompt and context engineering — and, critically, evaluation. You measure quality; you don't eyeball it.
Solid data-engineering and data-platform foundations: pipelines, data modeling, and a modern cloud data stack (Databricks/Spark, MLflow, cloud warehouses).
Comfort in the messy middle of AI systems — retrieval quality, latency and cost trade-offs, non-determinism — and the instinct to build the guardrails and evals that make them trustworthy.
A platform mindset: you build for leverage and clean interfaces, and you thrive in ambiguity in a fast-moving space.
Nice to Have
Knowledge graphs, ontologies, or semantic layers in production; graph databases.
Vector stores (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, etc.) and hybrid search.
MCP or similar tool/context protocols; agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph).
MLOps and model serving at scale; experimentation and observability tooling for LLM systems.
Experience in grocery, retail, or other complex enterprise data domains.
Our Tech Stack
Python, PySpark, dbt
Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, MLflow)
Astronomer (Airflow) for orchestration
LLMs and agents (Claude), retrieval over vector + graph stores, MCP tooling, eval and observability harnesses
Claude, GitHub, Shortcut, Notion for development workflows
Why Afresh?
We're a mission-driven company that eliminates hundreds of millions of pounds of food waste in grocery stores every year — your platform powers products with direct, visible impact.
Build the foundation the rest of the product stands on: high-leverage, 0-to-1 work where your abstractions make the whole team faster.
Be part of an engineering culture that's genuinely AI-forward — we want to be on the bleeding edge of agentic systems, not watching from the sidelines.
Senior team, high trust, and real ownership at a pivotal inflection point for how Afresh scales.
Collaborative, supportive environment & awesome people :)

Senior Forward Deployed Engineer
San Francisco, CA
Apply
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.
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.
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.
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.
About the Role
Most companies make you choose: build the platform, or go deploy it. Here you do both — and that's the point.
As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you're part of a single team that both delivers Afresh's AI into enterprise grocery customers and builds the platform that makes that delivery fast. You'll spend dedicated time in the field — embedded with a customer, integrating into their data, shipping AI systems on top of it — and dedicated time on the platform, turning what you just learned into reusable tooling the whole team deploys next. You build the house you live in.
Afresh leads the customer relationship and direction; you and a small team bring the technical firepower — scope and architect the work with the customer, then build it. Because you also own the platform underneath, the rough edges you hit in the field become the things you fix at the root.
This is senior, hands-on, 0-to-1 work in a space with no playbook.
What You'll Do
In the field (forward deployed)
Partner with Afresh's account lead and the customer's technical teams to scope and architect the work — the data sources, the architecture, and the path to production.
Embed with the customer's data and engineering teams (remote and on-site); integrate into their cloud and data platform; build production-grade pipelines and model messy enterprise data into trustworthy data products.
Design and ship LLM- and agent-powered systems on that data — retrieval, agentic workflows, data-quality and analytics agents — reliable enough to run in production, not just to demo.
On the platform (building the house you live in)
Harden what works in the field into the shared platform: the knowledge and grounding layer (knowledge graph, ontology, and retrieval) that makes grocery data usable by LLMs, the agent frameworks, and the serving infrastructure.
Build the evals, tracing, and tooling that let the team measure quality — accuracy, hallucination rate, latency, cost — and ship faster on the next customer.
Build for leverage: clean interfaces and reusable building blocks, not one-off per-customer code.
Across both
Own the flywheel: field learnings flow straight into the platform, and platform improvements show up at the next customer.
What Makes You a Great Fit
We encourage all highly-qualified candidates to apply, even if they do not fulfill all the listed criteria.
3+ years building production software and data systems, with strong, production-grade code
An architect's instinct: you can take an ambiguous problem and a messy data landscape, design a clean and workable solution, and then build it.
Genuine AI/LLM depth — you've built real systems with LLMs and agents (retrieval/RAG, tool-use) and you evaluate quality rather than eyeball it.
Real data-engineering depth: building and operating data pipelines, modeling messy enterprise data, and working in a modern cloud data platform (Databricks, BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar).
Range across both modes — you genuinely like being in front of customers and going heads-down to build reusable infrastructure, and you can switch between them without one suffering. This is the role's defining trait.
Customer-facing comfort: you work well with a customer's engineers and data teams — running working sessions, explaining your thinking, and earning trust through what you deliver.
A bias toward ownership and momentum, and comfort traveling to customer sites regularly (~10-20%).
Nice to Have
Experience in grocery, retail, or supply chain data domains.
Knowledge graphs, ontologies, or semantic layers in production; graph and vector stores (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate) and hybrid search.
MCP or similar tool/context protocols; agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph); MLOps, model serving, and observability for LLM systems.
Prior forward-deployed, solutions, or implementation engineering — or early-stage startup experience navigating rapid customer expansion.
Why Afresh?
We're a mission-driven company that eliminates hundreds of millions of pounds of food waste in grocery stores every year — your work has direct, visible impact.
You'll do both halves of the job: deploy with customers and build the platform you deploy — never a body-shop consultant, never an ivory-tower platform engineer.
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.
Senior team, high trust, and real ownership at a pivotal inflection point for how Afresh scales.
