We specialize in creating advanced AI solutions that turn complex data into actionable insights, driving real-world impact for businesses and government organizations. Our team thrives on creativity and collaboration, working together to push the boundaries of AI technology. At the core of our offerings are AI agents-autonomous systems that analyze multimodal data, generate insights, and make intelligent recommendations. These agents help businesses streamline operations, improve decision-making, and empower government entities to enhance security, intelligence, and operational efficiency.\nThe Role\nThe forward deployed engineer sits at the intersection of data strategy and operational delivery of our AI products. Customers often have a strong instinct that their data can help them protect personnel, support campaigns, be more efficient, or deliver aid more safely, but without a specialist who can get them there. FDEs turn that instinct into working capability, and they keep the effort organized, unblocked, and on track while it happens.\nYou will join a small, collaborative team of engineers, product managers, and fellow FDEs to put software to work on difficult, high-stakes problems, with a focus on US Government engagements. Your job is to pull scattered inputs into a single, coherent view: which problem matters most, what the data is actually saying, what the product must do, what motivates the people using it, and where real impact can be achieved. You will also own the operational health of your projects, tracking progress, resolving obstacles early, and making sure delivery lands on time, within budget, and to a high standard.\nIf you believe in the power of data and technology to solve hard problems, and you are equally comfortable digging into the details and bringing structure to ambiguity, we would like to talk with you.\nWhat You Will Do\nWork on site with customer analysts and operators to learn the key questions they must answer and the friction points that slow them down.\nLocate and evaluate the datasets that matter most, then partner with engineers to bring them into reliable, scalable pipelines.\nDesign tailored workflows with customers for new groups of users.\nRun training and enablement sessions so the product fits real needs and is adopted broadly enough to make a measurable difference to customer operations.\nShare findings and recommendations with audiences from frontline analysts to senior executives.\nAct as a first responder when problems surface, diagnosing issues and putting creative, practical fixes in place.\nFind and clear bottlenecks, blockers, and friction so teammates can concentrate on the work they do best.\nBuild processes and tools that make better use of people, time, and resources.\nWork with Accrete colleagues to identify process gaps, scope new initiatives, and deliver results on schedule, on budget, and at a high quality bar.\nCollaborate with engineering and design teams to carry lessons from the field back into Accrete's broader product offerings.\nPrepare and present demos for current and prospective customers.\nEvaluate opportunities in new industries and geographies as Accrete's footprint grows.\nDraw on the team's shared expertise, build new skills where gaps exist, and act on feedback to keep growing.\nWhat We Value\nComfort with open-ended problems in unstructured, fast-moving environments without over-the-shoulder support.\nStrong organizational skills, sound judgment, and the instinct to spot inefficiencies and fix them quickly.\nClear, confident communication, including the ability to explain technical ideas to non-technical audiences.\nMeticulous attention to detail, including accurate records and consistent tracking of project metrics.\nAdaptability, self-awareness, and a willingness to learn, teach, lead, and follow as the situation requires.\nExperience with programming, scripting, or statistical tools such as Python, R, Matlab, or SQL is a plus.\nExperience with AI prompt engineering and agent building.\nWhat We Require\nA current US security clearance at the top secret level or above.\nWillingness to travel between 25% and 40% or be on a customer site 40-75% of the time, depending on team and location.\nOur Environment\nFDEs work in a high-accountability, high-expectation culture where the goal is always the best possible solution. Giving, receiving, and acting on feedback is essential, and so is supporting teammates who care as much about each other as they do about Accrete's mission.\nSalary Range: 120k-150k + Commission\nThe salary range provided reflects the estimated compensation for this role based on the expected qualifications and experience level. The final offer may vary depending on factors such as skills, experience, and alignment with role requirements.\nCompany Benefits\nCompetitive Salary: Aligned with experience and market standards\nComprehensive Insurance: Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family\n401(k) Plan: Build your financial future with our retirement savings plan\nGrowth & Development: Access professional learning opportunities and career advancement support\nOnsite Perks: Enjoy catered lunches, snacks, and a fully stocked kitchen\nTeam Bonding: Company-sponsored happy hours and social events to connect and unwind\nAccrete is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, protected Veteran status, age, or any other characteristic protected by law.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5945,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Defense AI","Knowledge Graphs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-06T21:29:07Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":187500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-08T10:45:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":99,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:2","wave","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/accrete-forward-deployed-engineer-tssci-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/accrete-forward-deployed-engineer-tssci-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T12:24:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26411,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":27720},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=27720"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faccrete-forward-deployed-engineer-tssci-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faccrete-forward-deployed-engineer-tssci-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faccrete-forward-deployed-engineer-tssci-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/accrete-forward-deployed-engineer-tssci-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faccrete-forward-deployed-engineer-tssci-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3891365}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"accrete.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3891365},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
